The Pousada Alfama came about from the restoration of a historic building that exudes authenticity while combining the traditional with the contemporary. Right at the entrance you are welcomed by a work of urban art by the artist Bordallo II, ushering you into what will be a unique and innovative experience right in the heart of the Portuguese capital. This hotel in Alfama is spread over 4 floors and has 43 rooms of different types, all of which offer you the comfort needed for spending unforgettable days in Lisbon. The hotel is located in a pedestrianised area dominated by Lisbon’s most typical and original delights, and from here, you can experience the city’s most breathtaking sunset. The prominent location of this hotel in the historic centre of Lisbon puts it right opposite the viewing point of the Portas do Sol. This name comes from the old Porta do Sol, one of Lisbon’s medieval gates, which was part of the city’s Cerca Moura, destroyed in the 1755 earthquake. The essence of Alfama is fado, popular saints and tradition and it’s also an excellent starting point for getting to know the authentic heart of Lisbon, its charming streets with distinctive Portuguese paving, the traditional courtyards and the famous number 28 tram. From the Pousada Alfama, you can easily reach, on foot, Lisbon’s Cathedral, St. George’s Castle, the Santa Justa lift and other famous Lisbon landmarks, such as the Praça do Comércio or the Baixa Pombalina.

Property's Favourite Review
We had a great two night stay at this hotel. Service was wonderful, room was very comfortable, and breakfast was delicious (they even had champagne!). It is a great location, just be prepared for steps and hills if you're walking. Uber is very easy and affordable for any kind of distance. We were treated to a small bottle of ginja and pasteis de nata our first night along with a hand made tile as a keepsake. The reception doubles as a bar so getting a glass of wine to take to the room was really convenient.

We stayed in a Superior Double room with river view for 4 nights and it was excellent! If I could rate this hotel a 10, I would. The location is fantastic in the historic Alfama area with easy access to restaurants, shops and sites (via walking, trolley, metro). Our room was a very nice size with all the amenities. The view was fantastic over the river and the front outdoor patio and the balcony doors kept out the noise nicely. The bathroom was small, but that was easily manageable since there was extra mirror space and many power outlets in the bedroom. Breakfast buffet was very nice and they also offered eggs cooked to order. All of the staff including reception, breakfast and housekeeping, were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this boutique hotel!

Every single one of your team members went above and beyond to make us feel welcome the moment we stepped onto your property. We arrived early to leave our luggage and were served pastry, shown how to get a cup of coffee and welcomed us to sit and be comfortable. A tour was booked with a reputable company and arrangements were made to get us to the airport. Also, dinner reservations were made at a sweet restaurant down the street. Five Star Service from beginning to end!

We stayed here Mid May for 3 nights. We arrived late at night about 11.30pm and the taxi driver dropped us right outside the hotel, so it was very convenient. Just a 15minute drive.
BF: Decent had a decent but limited spread. There was a different slice cake to look forward to everyday and fresh fruits. Some croissants n fresh yoghurt. There was wine as well but we didn’t have that in the mornings.
Location: Love Love Love. The main attractions like the lovely Alfama lookout and the castle of Jorge were very close and even the lovely yellow tram 28 (I think) was passing right outside the hotel.
Room: A little small for 2 people to share but we were hardly in the room so it served our purpose
Customer service: Excellent. In fact the front office (can’t remember his name) even upgraded us to a river view room on request the 2nd night.
Will definitely stay here if we visit again :D

The Pousada Alfama is a charming little hotel in the Alfama district of Lisbon, 2 minutes walk from the Miradouro Santa Luzia. It is a small hotel of around 44 rooms, I think, in a refurbished old building. It is close to many restaurants and historic sites and on the route of the famous #28 historic tram that runs through Lisbon. The rooms are small, with not much space to unpack, but fine for a short stay. Everything is new and clean. The free buffet breakfast is very good. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient (as they seem to be in every hotel we have visited in Portugal). The rooms facing the interior garden are slightly larger than the street-side rooms and have small balconies which is very nice.

We had a really fantastic stay in this lovely hotel. Very tasteful and comfy rooms and a perfect breakfast. The staff was very friendly and helpful and as an un-asked extra they provided sparkling wine and sweets on my husbands birthday.
We loved the location and enjoyed the quarter.

The Pousada Alfama is a first class hotel. Great location. The sleeping accompaniments are lovely with many room amenities. First rate breakfast and 24 hour coffee machine.Great outdoor seating. Even thought the front side offers view of water the back side features a small garden view with balcony and no street noise. The staff is very friendly, some learning my name and remembering it. Catch the 28 trolley outside the front door.

Excellent hotel in a fantastic location . Staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was beautiful, clean, had everything we needed, it was such a welcoming and lovely place. The breakfast was fantastic and was served in a pretty courtyard and lounge. It felt really unique and like a lot of thought and care had gone into every detail.
