The property was very central to everything. The courtyard in the front with the Famous Panda wall Artwork was fabulous to enjoy breakfast or drinks. The ocean view from the patio was beautiful, if your room faced the front this was your view. We had the room in the back with a larger sitting area on the first floor. Quieter on the back side. There was complimentary coffee and water 24hrs a day. We would definitely return and stay at Pousada Alfama again.

This is the first negative review I have ever written. The hotel is in a great location in Alfama but it is incredibly noisy. There was loud music playing throughout the night making it very difficult to sleep. The rooms are very tiny. The staff were unfriendly and, at times, downright rude. There is a nice breakfast included but they refused to let us eat it one morning because it was not quite 7:30. We had a booked tour and had to leave at 7:30 but the breakfast was out and available. They told us we were not allowed to have it. They were not nice about it. I would not recommend this hotel. There are many other options available.

Helpful staff, good breakfast, comfortable room. The area is very congested, although it is very convenient to many Lisbon sights and food restaurants. It is very quiet inside the hotel.

We went for a long weekend. The staff were excellent, very friendly and very helpful. The only thing I wasn’t pleased with was the bed. It was a little bit too hard for me, that’s my opinion because I don’t like hard beds,those who do ,would love it. The room was lovely very pleasant. we had a garden view. we were very central . we managed to walk all around Alfama.

Room is the size of a closet.

We have traveled a lot and during all my years in travel this was the second smallest room that I ever stayed in. It was a size of a closet. There was no place to even open your suitcase, no place to sit, you had to watch your head to get out of bed because of the angled ceiling. The shower is like in the RV. On top of it AC is regulated by the staff downstairs and if you want it on, you have to ask them to turn it on. If you want to have a temperature change, you have to ask them downstairs to do so. The view is of the wall and the back of the biuldings but they charge more for it. Anyway I would never stay there.

Good location for walking to sites such as the fortress and main cathedral. Lots of eating options. Hotel quite modern in refurbished building and very, very clean. Some noise on street side but great view of harbor. Staff generally quite helpful but occasionally surprisingly ignorant ( e.g., location and options for going to tile museum). We used taxis and Uber and generally walked. Having a personal car in this area is rank insanity. Overall, highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is convenient for Alfama attractions.Room was spotless and the lovelly view from the window was of the sea front and the roof tops of the houses below. Staff were fantastic and so helpful. Breakfast was ok but nothing special.If returning I would probably go and use one of the many restaurants situated nearby. Overall a good experience but be prepared for the ongoing noise from the rumbling of the tramway rails both from the trams themselves and the many other vehicles crossing them.From very early until very late.
