I loved staying here. It’s a great property and the staff is very kind and accommodating. The surrounding area is fantastic and you feel like you are right close to great food and activities. The metro is just across the street, and it’s a short walk to the train to Sintra or Cascais. The buffet breakfast was fresh and delicious. I love spending time here and will definitely come back if I’m in the area!

The hotel was very clean and quiet, despite being next to an open plaza. The beds were very comfortable, and we were able to sleep well. The staff were very friendly and helpful. When our Uber did not show at 6:15 am to get to the bus depot, the front desk clerk was able to get a taxi there within minutes. There are many restaurants and shops nearby, and we could walk to the castle in 10-15 minutes. The breakfast was breads, cheese, meat, fruit, yogurt, etc.. a simple but nice selection to start the day. Highly recommend this hotel!

4 nights in Lisbon.

Really friendly hosts. Stay away from the overpriced patio restaurants on the block. Overpriced and cater to the cruise ships. Very small room. But nice clean sheets and towels everyday. It’s reasonably located to a lot of things and there is a subway nearby. Belem is definitely a ways but we truly spent one morning there. The area around the hotel was much more interesting. Only did breakfast once but it was good. A lot of choices but simple.

Incredibly helpful, kind and friendly staff. Showed a genuine desire to make guests as comfortable as possible - for example, we left the hotel for one night to go to Porto and left our luggage with them during that time. We came back the following day in the evening to check back into our new room, and they left the luggage waiting in our room. They also let us go to breakfast a little early on our flight day, as by the time it officially started, we’d have already left for the airport.

Acts like these showed they really cared about us being comfortable and that made our vacation al the more relaxing!

Great location, friendly staff but poorly maintain

The location is fabulous, the staff super friendly and helpful, the free breakfast surprisingly tasty, varied and pleasant. HOWEVER, the room looked nothing like in a photo (you really wouldn’t want to spend more time than absolutely needed); the state of the room was atrocious (all walls were chipped and stained); the glass wall in the shower was probably never cleaned. While clean, there was a clear maintenance debt.

Perfect!

It’s the best hotel I’ve stayed at ever! I went stayed there with my mum who is very picky about hotels but even she gave them the thumbs up.

They were quick to respond after I made the booking and requested a shuttle to pick us up from the airport. The driver was lovely.

Once we got to the hotel we were greeted by the lovely staff. Throughout our stay they were very attentive and kind. They gave us lots of recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to eat at and how to get everywhere. It was all very useful. They Give you a map and explain all the transport links to you!

The hotel itself is right next to the harbour. It is within walking distance of all the major transport links and the restaurants. The restaurants on either side are divine and I’d highly recommend them. There is a supermarket right next door too! We went everyday and the cashier were lovely.

The hotel were kind enough to keep our luggage for a couple of hours till our check in time.

They have a lift to the floors.

We were on the first floor and right next to the restaurant which was very convenient because we could roll out of bed and go to breakfast. Breakfast was included for us and it was all very nice. The kitchen staff were very nice and friendly. There were lots of options.

The room itself was lovely. It was very clean and modern. You got a nice view outside and lots of light. The beds were very comfortable to sleep in. They have a massive walk in shower.

A fine little hotel

Overall this was a perfectly fine hotel for my stay in Lisbon. It is situated 3 minutes' walk from the Azul metro line, and just on the outskirts of Alfama so you can walk to many things (Praça do Comercio, Chiado). It is also particularly convenient to a few good fado houses on Rua de São João da Praça. The hotel is very clean and tidy and the staff was pleasant. The breakfast was a typical European spread, with the addition of pasteis de nata, of course. :)

My negatives are all very small things about the room. Although the room itself received lots of natural light, the lighting in the bathroom was terrible which made it hard to do makeup. The bathroom only had one usable outlet, and there were no usable outlets next to the bed. Also they did not provide small washcloths, only hand towels.

As I said, overall this was a fine choice for my stay in Lisbon, and I have no major complaints beyond what I mentioned above.

Riverside Gem in Lisbon

The Hotel Riverside Alfama is a wonderful boutique hotel, set directly across from the Tagus river in the heart of Alfama district. It was the perfect launch point for our 8 day vacation in Lisbon. The staff are incredible, the hotel is neat and clean and the location is simply superb. The room was spacious and comfortable but the beds could be a little softer (for my taste). The breakfast buffet was wonderful and offered plenty of options. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay in Lisbon.
