Tandem Palacio Alfama Suites

I loved how clean this place was! The photos absolutely do not do this place justice. The furnishings are modern and well thought out. Additionally, the windows were light and airy and everything was very clean and new. People complain about ubers not being able to access the street that Tandem is on, but the walk is very short from the street entrance and also taxis can enter the road. The toilet got clogged at one point and they had sent someone to fix it within the hour.

What a setting, in the heart of Alfama, with shops and restaurants right on the block. Easy 10 minute walk to the Santa Apolónia train station (without luggage!) The unit was extremely spacious and clean, with access to a beautiful private terrace. Plenty of room for luggage and gear. I appreciated the support and attention of staff.

Amazing, huge apartment complex and rooms (not at all what we were expecting from the outside as the street are so small and close together). The apartment was modern and the beds were king sized in all rooms. The most amazing bit was the back doors to all the apartment which led out to the most beautiful rooftop garden and pool area overlooking the Pantheon. A tranquil spot to have a glass of wine with an amazing view!

We stayed for 4 nights, 3 adults and 2 children aged 12 and 14. We probably got the best apartment available. We had a large terrace with a stunning view over the rooftops to the sea. On the other side, we could see the National Pantheon. The apartment was beautiful. The location was overall excellent, right in the middle of the old town, yet quiet and peaceful. The surroundings of the apartment were well thought out and truly beautiful; the garden was well-maintained with flowers and lemon trees. Likewise, the pool area was fantastic, never crowded. The facilities were excellent overall. The service was also very friendly and efficient, although there wasn't someone at reception 24/7. Responses to inquiries were prompt, and the door code worked flawlessly. Requests (like for additional towels) were also handled quickly.

Absolutely spectacular stay! Our room (top floor) was a grand apartment! The staff Luis and Fabio made us feel so welcome the moment we walked in the door. They made great recommendations and we thoroughly enjoyed Lisbon thanks to their suggestions. The hotel is perfectly appointed and the finishes are top notch. The large garden and pool area were a very charming escape from the busy-ness of the city. Staying in the Alfama district was IDEAL as we were a quick walk to the train station (5 minutes), the main square (15 minutes) and dozens and dozens of shops, restaurants and cafes. We had a washer in our unit, which was a treat as we'd been traveling for many weeks prior to our arrival and it was nice to not have to go to a laundromat. We feel so lucky that we found the Tandem Palacio Alfama and can't wait to return! Thank you! Obrigado for the PERFECT stay!
