Memmo Alfama Hotel, Lisbon

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.”

Fabulous

Location, view, service, food quality, unlimited self serve drinking water and coffee, free special events, everything worked as intended in the room, and the cool interior design of the property.

Obscure entrance/gate, long 100m walk through alley from the street, tiny wash basin, uphill walk back everyday.

Clean modern funky

You have to get up out of bed to turn off the lights (card key) before sleep. I know that’s customary for European hotels and energy efficient but annoying.

A calming respite to start and end a day of sightseeing in Lisboa.

There can be no finer boutique hotel in Lisboa! Perfect location in Lisboa. Loved the architecture + design. The view was spectacular. Sitting on the terrace for a before dinner drink (and one night for an after dinner glass of port) is a must. The staff is exceptional is the terrace lounge. And exceptional front desk staff also - they helped us with restaurant suggestions and reservations. Always professional and kind. Wish we had included breakfast option - not sure why we did not.

Would loved to had a bigger bed. We are used to a king-sized bed. However the bed was very comfortable.

Beautiful hotel with great roof deck.

Lovely and comfortable hotel. Room was nice enough but the real bonus was the roof deck, with a lovely view of the river, comfortable seating, and nice bar. Really special.

room was small and had no view.

Exceptional

The staff make this beautiful hotel exceptional. There is always someone happy to help you, like Iñes, Jaime, Lucas and Domingo. The reception staff were also super helpful. We took a large terrace room, which tbh isn't that large, but had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean! The soundproofing was amazing, and this was needed when we had a thunderstorm, and when the stupid cruise ships overuse their PA systems! I loved the sustainable feel of the breakfasts, including refillable glass containers for yoghurt, milk, and juice. Small amounts of a selection of foods were refilled often, reducing waste, and à la carte was included in the price. There is a super well stocked bar, also available on the terrace, weather permitting, which is lovely to just hang out when you need a break from the bustle of the city. Alfamma is a great little part of town, which, despite the odd tourist trap, still had authentic people, flavours and sounds. I would definitely return, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

The invisible steps in the pool!

Stylish and beautifully decorated hotel, excellent location. Go for a bigger room!

Great hillside location and the totally stunning rooftop bar with amazing views. Young staff were upbeat and helpful, making restaurant booking for us.Room stylish and quiet. Hotel decor lovely.

Our room was small- a little more space for our suitcases would have been good.Room was cleaned late in the day 3-4 pm . We wanted to have a rest during that time so it was a nuisance to have to wait.

Fabulous Hotel but Tiny Room

Main hotel terrace with views over the Tagus. Service was exceptional. Food was great. Location was ideal!

The room was barely large enough for two people with two suitcases. Granted, the room size was mentioned but we won't stay there again because of the tiny size. Too bad. Also, there was no lighting inside or near the closet so you couldn't see what you were looking at or looking for.

Fantastic location, ambiance, hospitality

Loved the rooftop pool and bar, this was such a nice spot to finish the day with a glass of wine. The staff was also kind enough to treat us to a bottle of wine and chocolate cake for our honeymoon. Great hospitality!

The room was just a little small, wish there was more privacy for the bathroom

The hotel is lush! and staff are wonderful and welcoming!

Hotel design was great, the location and view are stunning! Nice pool area for drinks or to get some sun. Food menu is limited not many vegan options but otherwise all good.

I think they could offer more sun lounger type chairs - something more comfortable for hanging by the pool.

Was very lovely

Location was brilliant. Staff very friendly. Beautiful terrace to drink and food with amazing views

The top floor rooms have no views or much daylight… there is a wall in front of the window. Disappointed. Be aware of the tricky narrow street approaching the hotel
