The hotel
Staying in an old Lisbon house
Casa de São Mamede occupies a seventeenth-century house on Rua da Escola Politécnica, between Rato and Príncipe Real. Its 26 rooms follow the irregular plan of the old building and contain a mix of traditional furniture. Every room has a private bathroom, air conditioning, double glazing, a safe and satellite television. Breakfast is served in the dining room, and reception staff can look after luggage before check-in or after departure.
The old building is part of the attraction, but it comes with quirks. Rooms differ in size, outlook, bathroom layout and floor, and there is no lift. Guests drawn to old Lisbon interiors may regard worn floorboards or period fittings as part of the appeal, while those who prefer a crisp modern finish may not. Anyone carrying heavy cases should request a lower floor. Study the photographs and floor information before choosing, especially if you need more space or fewer stairs.

Before you book
What recent guests consistently mention.
Guests mention the kindness of the staff as often as the building itself. Clean rooms, comfortable beds and a generous breakfast feature throughout the feedback, and many visitors enjoy the traditional furniture and residential atmosphere. The same age that gives the house its character also explains the main drawbacks. Some bathrooms are compact, floorboards and fittings show wear, and there is no lift. A lower-floor room is the sensible request for anyone who finds stairs difficult or expects to arrive with heavy luggage.
This summary draws on guest reviews published in August 2026. We last reviewed it in September 2026.
