A very nice, quirky boutique style hotel. We were probably slightly unfortunate in that our room was right next to their breakfast room and so it got a bit noisy from fairly early in the morning. As we were only staying for three nights we decided not to bother asking to switch rooms. There was nowhere to put our suitcases and clothes storage / hanging space was quite poor. Great roof terrace overlooking old town Alfama though.

This would’ve been an excellent stay except the AC stopped working and there was zero communication with us about it after we immediately flagged the issue when we checked in. I had to go to the front desk in the middle of the night when our room was nearly 30 degrees and ask for a fan, which didn’t help much, even when placed in front of the window.
The place itself is cute and location fantastic. We appreciated the city tour that was included. The breakfast and service was mediocre compared to everywhere else we’ve stayed in Portugal.

The staff at Memmo Alfama is "world-class". Each and every member of the service team is committed to making the hotel guest feel at home. The multiple decks are amazing with great views of the Alfama hillside and Tagus river.

Brilliant hotel, but the service on the terrace could have been friendlier and more accommodating - especially for such an expensive / premium hotel.

Perfect stay for a Lisbon getaway!
Memmo Alfama is a great place to stay.
The views of Lisbon and the river are beautiful from the terrace, our room was very clean, and the location is excellent. Check-in desk staff was so friendly and always helpful. It was quiet at night since the hotel is situated off of the main street. Highly recommend!

Memmo Alfama is a charming boutique hotel in a great historical area of Lisbon. The staff welcomed us warmly on arrival via Uber to the front door. A quick tour of the property was provided by our hostess who exhibited great enthusiasm for the hotel, its architecture, the convenient location, the neighborhood, and the available amenities offered. The view from the terrace encouraged exploration of this unique area of Lisbon. A short walk on a cobblestone street led to the Main Street where local shops provided great opportunity to purchase authentic Portuguese-made products suggested by our hostess in the hotel lobby. I walked out of one shop with an in- country manufactured bedspread loomed in traditional patterns. The day ended eating pasta in a little neighborhood restaurant after walking steep hills with great overlooks of the Tagus River! Can’t say enough about this wonderful hotel!

Perfect location, exquisite boutique hotel
A beautifully designed boutique hotel on a hillside in Al Famma area. Amazing rooftop view of local neighbourhood as well as the Tagus River. Breakfast menu selection was royal! Service throughout the hotel was friendly and efficient. Staff anticipated our every need. Hotel location is central in the old neighbourhood within walking distance of the old town attractions.

Memmo Alfama is one of my favorite hotels of any country. It is located in the vibrant, historic district of Lisbon (Alfama) and walking distance to many great sights. The staff are the kindest and most professional. The breakfast is great. But the best is the rooftop bar, where you can enjoy great food and drinks - or bring you morning breakfast items up there to soak in the sun and look out at the water and a great view of the area. Stunning views. Coming back from a long day touring, you can still enjoy the views while sipping on a Porto Tonico or other delicious drinks.

Small upscale hotel in a historic building beautifully modernized. The staff, especially Bianca were amazingly helpful. We felt like VIPs for our 2 days. Wish we could have stayed longer. A real home away from home. Perfect location in Alfama neighbourhood for Fado fans. Superb breakfast!
