Picture-perfect palace in Lisbon…

5/5

The Santiago de Alfama was wonderful. We stayed there for the final 2 nights of our 8-day trip around Portugal. Portugal was one of our favorite trips, and the Santiago de Alfama was one of the highlights of Portugal. The location is excellent--literally steps to the castle, the 28 tram, and the best views in the city. The breakfast was a feast. If you're around for lunch or dinner, try the Goan shrimp curry. The premises are amazing--a 15th century palace built atop Roman ruins (you can actually see a preserved Roman stairway under glass on the 2nd floor). The staff were wonderful, and Manny and Heleen made you feel more like guests in their amazing home than visitors at a normal 5-star hotel. What an incredible experience.…The Santiago de Alfama was wonderful. We stayed there for the final 2 nights of our 8-day trip around Portugal.

5/5

We had the Alfama studio downstairs. It was modern, clean and comfortable. Great amenities. 1st class in all ways. Pablo & Paulo are wonderful hosts. Very good location if you want to be in the Alfama neighbourhood. Cons - not much exterior light. Sometimes felt like I was in a very fancy cave. Unit was across the street from garbage bins. It could be very noisy at any time 24 hours a day.…

Alfama Lounge Three-Bedroom Apartment w/ River View and Parking - by LU Holidays

Expedia Verified Review…

5/5

Loved the view! Great location if you want to easily access downtown Lisbon. Beautiful decor, clean and well maintained. Warning: if you have mobility issues, beware that this apartment is located in a steep hill vicinity. Walking uphill from the subway to the apartment would be a concern.…

Take a cab there if you have heavy bags....…

5/5

After trecking up hill in the hot mid day sub with my havey back pack for what felt like forever, i was pleasently surprised with the hostel, it has a huge terrace with a great view and you can buy buys and wine from the reception, which is much apprecaites after the trek up there! We stayed in a double room with a private bathroom which was clean and well maintained. We were only there one night but could have happily stayed longer. The hostel had a friendly vibe and there were a few people around around still even though we were entering in to low season. I wasnt a solo traveller but could see that this was a good place if i had have been there alone. We didnt stay for breakfast as we had an early flight but it lookes good and you are able to use the kitchen to make the eggs (which are provided by the hostel) in what ever way you want, which is a nice touch. If you book here and do have bags make sure you als the hostel for directions and they will let you know how to get there via an city elavtor rather than climb many many mnay steps and hills (and i mean many!) Staff were a mized bag, one person on reception was super friendly, the one the next morn seemed like she couldnt really be arsed to be there. Over all though a good place to stay in the old town and near loys fp afes and bars that feel leas of a tourist trap than in other areas.…After trecking up hill in the hot mid day sub with my havey back pack for what felt like forever, i was pleasently surprised with the hostel, it has a huge terrace with a great view and you can buy buys and wine from the reception, which is much apprecaites after the trek up there!
