Great locationHelpful staff
IlseSouth AfricaGood location, get breakfast elsewhere.
Central location.
There were drug dealers hanging out just outside the hotel. It made walking back at night feel unsafe.
Breakfast was very limited. There is no kettle in the room.
On the morning we had to leave early…

Questions about Hotel Riverside Alfama
What time is check-in and check-out at Hotel Riverside Alfama?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Hotel Riverside Alfama allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is breakfast included at Hotel Riverside Alfama?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Hotel Riverside Alfama have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Hotel Riverside Alfama have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Hotel Riverside Alfama?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Hotel Riverside Alfama?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
