It's a lovely hotel in a great location. Great breakfast, beautiful views from the roof deck. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was small, but probably standard for Lisbon. I'd definitely recommend the hotel.

Marjorie United States of America

As advertised... beautiful, swanky vibe, you pay more because the view can't be beat...staff is outstanding...breakfast delicious with usual suspects plus great juices... pomegranate was very nice

Acudavid United States of America

What a lovely treat to have spent a portion of our trip to Portugal at Memmo Alfama. Certainly highlighted by the gorgeous location, we loved starting each morning with a nice breakfast, enjoyed the stunning view from several deck locations and found the accommodations to be pristine, tranquil and the staff warm, friendly and always ready to offer help or insight. I’d recommend this location to anyone and would jump at a chance to visit again!

Alicia United States of America

So much to love! The staff are amazing, the terrace view is one of the best in Lisbon I’m guessing and such a great place to have a drink or eat breakfast. Such a beautiful relaxing atmosphere overall!

Elizabeth United States of America

very cool vibe and truly excellent customer service. great breakfast. it’s an idiosyncratic location that is not in the busy tourist area; was unsure at first but ended up loving the location. loved the view over the river.

Cynthia United States of America

Fabulous terrace overlooking the Tejo river and nice breakfast or wine right there

Kevin United States of America

I liked everything of Memmo Alfama. A quiet place amidst the business of the Alfama. I liked the comfort of a modern hotel while still feeling I am transported to a romantic past. The staff was most helpful, and the breakfast a wonderful way to start the day.

Botella United States of America

The hotel staff was exceptional! Starting with the front desk people- they were so helpful and knowledgeable. They assisted with difficult questions like where to get a Covid test! The bar/dining staff was also exceptional! I was traveling solo, and my Christmas Eve Dinner was to die for! I think it was like 8 courses and non-stop Prosecco! Incredible evening. I didn't feel alone at all. The staff made my holiday very enjoyable and very special!
