Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were given this rooftop as a recommendation from a local and it did not disappoint! It is in a tucked away location but we were blown away with the views and the reasonable pricing of drinks on offer. The views from the rooftop are beautiful, it is the perfect spot for an afternoon drink in the sun!

This hidden away gem delivers, not with wonderful service but spectacular views from their pool deck. Clean and well appointed, the property offers a serene and relaxing environment from the bustle of the neighborhood. From complimentary breakfast to afternoon drinks, the patio/deck area offers sweeping views of the bay and picturesque hillside neighborhood. Only negative was that it appears that tourist from off the street have found this spot.

We stayed at 2 different hotels during our stay in Lisbon. I preferred our other hotel we stayed at more than memmo. I would recommend just going to get a drink on the rooftop bar to take in the beautiful scenery. Rooms are very small, stains on rug, lampshade and just some overall signs of wear that made this more of an average experience. It’s a beautiful property, but for the price it was not cozy.

Overall nice place to be/stay and the staff are genuinely committed to you enjoying the experience. Nice rooms and lounge areas overlooking the water are wonderful. Few things about details/upkeep that would make them five star: the shower didn’t drain and then smelled, hot water went out and was repaired without them telling us, stain on the bed runner— things that cause them to just fall short of truly outstanding. But can’t say enough about the staff—everyone we encountered was first rate. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

The welcome from the staff was excellent. Throughout our stay all staff were extremely helpful and were genuinely determined to help make our stay memorable. The rooftop bar is lovely with fantastic views over the river and surrounding areas. It is a lovely spot for drinks. Breakfast was good and food at the bar was really nice, good variety of tapas. Only minor issue was that the room was quite small. If you are walking from the station the climb up to the hotel is quite steep.

The hotel provided additional travel services from the hotel to tour the surrounding cities. I GO with Pedro M.. was fantastic.. He took us to all the hot spots in Lisbon.. Very safe driver and knowledgeable about the history in Lisbon.. Definitely select his for half day trips around Lisbon or Belem.. Help me find the elusive pressed penny machine in Belem

Memmo Alfama was hands down one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at. The service was amazing, literally the nicest hotel staff I think we have ever encountered. The breakfast was so good as well. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms very modern and cozy. We loved it here 10/10 recommend!!

My husband and I stayed here for 7 days when visiting Lisbon. This place was amazing. It is kind of hidden in the Alfama neighborhood, which is the old city neighborhood. The Memmo Alfama is more than a hotel, It felt that I was home. While our room was "cozy", it had everything we needed. What made this place so special was the staff. These young men (most of the servers were male) were outstanding. I was struggling to stay sober in a place that everyone drinks the fabulous Portugal wine and the servers prepared for me delicious non alcoholic mojitos and Coke Zero with ice and lemon. I need to also mentioned the terrace. I wanted to sleep out there. You had the view of most of the city and the river. We watched the cruise ships going in and out. It has a small pool and plenty of chairs to enjoy the view. They also presented live Fado and a BossaNova singer at no additional cost in their cozy lounge. And most rooms also have a view and almost forgot they served tapas and other small plates that are also great. If you are going to Lisbon you must stay there.

I booked a room just for me after a work trip. My room had stunning views, the hotel is amazingly located in the heart of Alfama, it had a super comfy bed and very friendly and helpful staff. I enjoyed a yummy and healthy breakfast - overlooking the sea. This place is a wonderful find in Alfama. Next time i am coming with my husband. Thank you
