Alfama Yellow House

The neighborhood is great, but access to it is limited. Uber and taxis are not viable because the street names are hard to decipher, roads are very narrow w cobblestone, and the address listed on the website and *******'s information was incorrect.

The little room itself was perfectly nice. The problem was the noise at night and on one of the 3 mornings that ,even for heavy sleepers, was impossible to sleep through.

My experience with alfama yellow house was amazing. The apartement is very cozy and well decorated. There is every equipement necessary for the sejour. And of course i can't finish this review without thanking manuel who is a really kind person, i enjoyed talking to him, and he is available for all your needs.

For us Americans, staying in a quintessential medieval flat on a cobblestone street was the European experience we were looking for. Although maybe this was more medieval than we bargained for! Pros: Budget-friendly and great location in the heart of Alfama. We were able to walk everywhere from here, plenty of landmarks, shops and dining nearby. We had an issue with the heater and lack of toiletries which Manuel responded to promptly. For a small fee, you can arrange to have a driver pick you up and return you to the airport. Cons: However small the room looks in pictures, it’s even tinier than I imagined. We stayed in the Orange room, which while clean, felt dampy. We were lucky in that it didn’t smell of mildew as that of our friends’ did and they ended up moving to another hotel. Since we just needed a place to sleep and shower we were fine with the apar**ent, although it felt claustrophobic after several days. If you just needed a place to sleep for a couple of days, this would be fine, but I think longer stays might be more comfortable in a larger room with better ventilation.

The owners should be clear that this property is in a restricted zone. Uber is not allowed and access to taxis is almost non-existent. As a solo traveler needing to leave for the airport in the early hours, I left this property for another to ensure I was able to get to the airport in time.

Absolute gem of a property! Perfect location, close to everything but on a nice and quiet street. Manuel was an excellent host. Great communication and recommendations. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Lisbon

Wonderful stay at Alfama Yellow House, accommodation in the heart and spirit of the culture of Lisbon and Portugal. The location is in the most original district of Lisbon and just a few steps from the tram line that runs the famous Tram 28, with several accommodation options, depending on the needs and number of people, with a very good value for money. The host Manuel is very receptive and with helpful tips for staying. If we return to Lisbon, we will definitely stay at Alfama Yellow House again!

Nice clean apar**ent, restaurant opposite, public transport walking distance, only thing about location, lots of hills, if you are walking with young children. Good communication and very helpful with the tour.

Manuel was an amazing host and the apar**ent was very well located, cleaned and really comfortable. All the restaurants / bars located around the apar**ent were really friendly and typical. If we return to Lisbon, we will definitely book this apar**ent again!
