Memmo Alfama Hotel, Lisbon

Tv. Merceeiras 27, 1100-348 Lisboa, Portugal (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Billing itself as the first boutique hotel in the historical Alfama neighborhood, the 42-room Memmo Alfama has a rooftop mosaic infinity pool and wine bar that both feature views over the neighborhood and the Tagus River beyond.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Lisbon.

Frommers review:

“The Memmo, which opened in late 2013, claims to be the area’s first luxury boutique hotel. In a historic city blessed with seven hills and a river stretching for 10 miles, breathtaking views are not hard to find but few match those from the Memmo’s pool, the surrounding sun deck, and many of the rooms.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Lisbon.

Telegraph review:

“Offering an authentic taste of Lisbon, this 42-room hotel lies within the Kasbah-like lanes that make up Moorish Alfama. From its sleek terrace, with inset pool, are some of the city’s best views of Alfama’s characteristic church spires and red roofs, beyond which flows the wide Tagus River.”

Hidden paradise

The hotel is a bit hidden within Alfama which gives the accomodation its charm. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and everyone there is super friendly. The view from the terrace and the pool is absolutely amazing. Just sitting on the terrace and enjoying a glass of wine while taking in the breathtaking view was one of our favourite things to do in whole Lisbon.

Room was slightly small for the price. Friends had a bigger room so it’s just pot luck

Beautiful hotel in an amazing location.

The hotel was beautiful with an amazing view and facilities. The location was fantastic.

I enjoyed most things. The bathrobes were too small. The rooms were also a little on the small side.

Excellent and would come again!

Lovely design. Great staff and good facilities. The food- breakfast and lunch were great too.

The only thing was not having enough shade around the pool area and the ability to lounge there. They were having issues at the time and hopefully will be resolved soon.

Fantastic hotel

Beautiful hotel with lots of character and history. Great location. The outside area and views were amazing would highly recommend. The bar staff were very friendly and the service was great.

I had one of the small rooms which was beautiful but next time I would like to have a larger room.

Fabulous

Great location, close to the tram and other tourist stuff that I panned to visit. The staff was super friendly.

Navigate Lisbon’s narrow streets is always a challenge, we arrived via Uber, but the driver did not know he would be able to make a turn in front of the hotel, so we had to walk with our bags this narrow street to get there. I did not see any vegan options on the menu (breakfast).

Would stay again!

Helpful staff, amazing location and rooftop has AMAZING views (as did my bedroom window!) I would definitely stay again. Free walking tour happens at 10am everyday.

Service on the rooftop can be hit and miss sometimes but not bad - I think they just get busy and forget a few things, but they're always apologetic if so. The doors when they close automatically do slam so I was woken up a few times by other people closing the door.

We loved our stay at Memmo Alfama.

The hotel has a very cozy and comfortable vibe where the staff is very friendly and helpful. This extends to the ambiance on the outdoor decks and in the “Living Room” where guests felt comfortable striking up friendly conversations with other guests. The best compliment would be that though there is much to see in Lisbon, as a guest, I would have been equally happy to remain at the hotel during my stay.

I would like to come back some day

The pool patio was a lovely place for a drink. It has a great view of the city and feels far removed from the very busy streets of the Alfma neighborhood

Taxis were reluctant to drive into the driveway of the hotel

Wonderful home base in old city Lisbon with beautiful views and warm staff.

What a great little hotel! Beautifully designed, all the staff are incredibly warm and helpful and will go out of their way to help. The rooms are small as are many European hotels in old city centers, but very comfortable. The terrace is stunning. I come to Lisbon often and sitting in the terrace doesn’t make you feel separated from the city. Food is great and the gym is beautiful, spacious, and well appointed instead of an after thought. Will definitely stay here again. Can’t stress enough how wonderful the entire team are running the hotel.

Not much to dislike!

Completely perfect!

Everything about our stay at Memmo Alfama was exceptional, from the greeting at check in to the views from the roof top bar. We booked a terrace room which was lovely with doors opening onto our own little private seating area - and the view was breathtaking! We ate at the hotel on our first evening and the food was excellent - as were the breakfasts each morning of our stay. The staff team were, without exception, friendly, welcoming and really efficient and worked hard to make our stay enjoyable. The location of the hotel was perfect - we walked everywhere and found excellent restaurants within easy walking distance. We would definitely stay at Memmo Alfama again and have already recommended it to friends.

You can't really lie by the pool in your swimmers as you would expect if there is a pool.
