The Alif is a couple of miles north of the centre of Lisbon, but it's ideally placed for buses, trains and the metro so getting about is cheap and easy. It is also near to the airport, in fact you can watch the planes on their final approach from the restaurant on the 7th floor. The hotel is located in... more

There wasn't a single morning that we didn't sleep well past our desired waking time, so it couldn't be all bad. We didn't to... more

I stayed at the Hotel Alif at the beginning and at the end of my Portugal trip last year (August 2008). We had the opportunity to experience two different (but equally amazing) rooms and I had such a pleasant stay that I would go straight to this hotel if I were planning another Lisbon visit.

I stayed at this hotel in Lisbon in March. The reason for my visit was to watch football at Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. The hotel was ideally situated for both grounds in the northern part of the city. It took me about 10 minutes on the bus from the airport to Campo Pequeno by the bullring. The hotel is situated... more
