Guest Inn Alfama Apartments

Spacious and quite clean, the bed was comfortable and it had AC.

Quite noisy; you hear almost all other apartments as well as everything coming from the road. It’s an old house which is part of the charm.

I liked the location in the old district of Lisbon. The neighbourhood has a very charming atmosphere. The apartment is not very high up. I was afraid we would have to climb the streets for a long time, but that wasn’t the case. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped.

We arrived a few hours after the check-in time, so I was sure the apartment would be empty and ready. I got scared because there was a man there who seemed to be finishing the cleaning, and I wasn’t expecting that. Besides, he had no idea who we were and seemed very surprised that we were entering the apartment. It was strange. The apartment is only suitable for people who sleep very deeply or go to bed very late, because the area is very noisy. There is a restaurant opposite where a woman sings every evening, and you can also hear people outside, rubbish collectors, and so on. You should keep in mind that the apartment is basically one large open space. There are supposedly two bedrooms, but neither of them is fully closed off. Everything is kind of connected, so if someone wants privacy, they definitely won’t have much of it.

Good location/area .. v central & authentic. A nice light roomy apartment. Excellent friendly support from the hosts.

The lockbox functionality was a bit tricky .. seemed inconsistent. Perhaps it was just me.

Super easy to collect the keys - easy check in and check out. Great location and solid value for money for what you get. The pictures make it look quite a bit nicer than it is but worked for us for the time we stayed.

The lock box didn’t lock anymore after the initial opening so we couldn’t leave the keys in the box throughout the day but always had to take them. The apartment was overall nice but it smelled very musty, the couch had a super big stain, same for the actual bedding (not the sheets, they were clean). We didn’t mind that much but it was VERY loud. There is restaurant right outside and since we visited in June, the entirety of Alfama was one big party (which is lovely until you want to sleep and there’s live music until 3am outside your door).
