Detailed Reviews
We booked at Rua Fernandes Tomas 54 as we liked the look of the older style accommodation with the stone walls etc, however when we arrived they had moved us to Rua da Boavista 47, without consulting with us at all. We left the main train station in a taxi and ended up getting out as she had no idea where the address was and spoke no English, ordered an Uber and he was able to get us closer to the location but again could not find the exact address at Rua da Boavista. To say we were annoyed and frustrated by the time we got to reception is an understatement, and then to find out our accommodation had been changed?? Not happy! The unit they put us in (thinking they were doing us a favour) was very modern, almost sterile and not at all where we had in mind to stay. It was very spacious, the kitchen and bathroom both well equipped, we were given 2 "complimentary" coffee pods for the machine but then had to buy more if wanted from reception, not expensive at all but thought it was a bit stingey with what we paid for the accommodation.
If you like firm pillows and a firm mattress you'll like the bedding, we both found them a bit too firm and almost uncomfortable, with no other options of pillows.
It is in a great location, walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants, and train station....until 2am in the morning when it is VERY noisy - we were not there on any special occasion/public holiday etc but both nights the early morning noise was horrendous, we had the windows closed and the unit was supposedly sound-proofed. If you do choose to stay here I'd suggest asking for a room at the back of the complex and not facing the street.

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment with twin beds on Rua Fernandes Tomas so we were in the older building. It was a short uphill walk from the riverfront to the building and then there was a narrow steep staircase to the apartment we stayed in. However, it was worth it - we just loved the ambience of the old building as well as the view of the Monumento a Cristo Rei from our apartment. Neighbourhood was quiet and the apartment itself was very spacious with good amenities (including a coffee machine!). The location is good being in walking distance of the transport hub and downtown Lisbon (recommend the Time Out market) and the staff were excellent, providing advice on where to eat and what to see. Would definitely stay there again should I be lucky enough to return to Lisbon.

54 Santa Catarina
Excellent customer service is always easily identified by the degree to which a business goes beyond expectation. This is especially true for hotels and other businesses which provide lodging. A clean bed, functional utilities, convenient location, and competent staff are for me the bare minimum.
I require just a little bit more to be impressed, and I am happy to say that 54 Santa Catarina delivered in spades!
The staff are absolutely worth their weight in gold. There were a total of three women, I think, who managed the hotel, and my wife and I had the pleasure of meeting and working with two: Patricia and Anna. Patricia greeted us upon our arrival and walked us through the lay of the land. She made sure we were able to orient ourselves correctly (neither my wife nor I had ever visited before) according to the maps provided before she turned us loose onto the city. She was also always available to us within 5 minutes of any communication sent via WhatsApp on a wide variety of issues including electrical power, currency exchange, restaurants, and public transportation.
Anna was just as helpful. I'd spilled some food onto the floor of my unit, and when I told Anna about my mistake she sprung into action and located cleaning products for me. She and I also had an opportunity to discuss our love of martial arts and national French fry battles while I rested in the lobby after a particularly challenging walk up Lisbon's sloped streets.
The facilities feature everything that you need for a comfortable visit including complementary laundry and a full kitchen.
Whenever my wife and I decide to visit Lisbon again, 54 Santa Catarina will be first on our list of places to stay!

This place badges itself as a ‘boutique aparthotel’.
Yes, it’s clean and very well located but our room had a sun terrace with two parasol bases, both with broken poles and no actual parasols! The two reclining chairs on the terrace had definitely seen better days. There was no bottled water, only one soap and one shampoo, and 2 coffee capsules to last two of us for a 4 day stay. I’d definitely expect more of a ‘boutique’ property from experience.
We were staying here to use up a credit which had been granted by the hotel due to our cancellation on 2020 as we were banned from travel because of Covid rules. During our stay, one receptionist let slip that the hotel itself had closed down during the time we’d been due to stay, so why they didn’t give us a full refund instead of credit is beyond me!
There was an issue whereby they charged my credit card for 50% of the balance of the room prior to our arrival despite agreeing they would not do so as I’d agreed to pay in € on arrival - this took nearly a week to resolve.
Finally, I didn’t appreciate being called on my mobile phone during my stay to remind me to pass by reception to pay the €9 I owed for a bottle of wine (they stock a limited selection) before I left the hotel the following day. Top tip, their wine is old and not properly cellared, buy elsewhere.
I’d say this place is definitely watching the pennies and not investing in the property perhaps in the way they should.
We wouldn’t stay here again sadly.

Response from AMGI Recuperação Arquitectura Design, Proprietário at 54 Santa Catarina
Responded 19 Jan 2022
Dear Stu Jr, We would like to thank you for choosing the 54 boutique Apathotel. We face each challenge as an opportunity for evolution. Therefore, your feedback is very important to us. 54 Santa Catarina is a small unit of charming apartments, our main objective being to provide our guests with a personalized and excellent service. We believe that this is precisely why, since opening in 2014, 54 Santa Catarina Boutique Hotel has won several awards for excellence, in addition to the important reviews from our guests, where on TripAdvisor we have a rating of 5 out of 5. Located in a traditional neighborhood in the heart of Lisbon, our historic building has been carefully renovated, and our 11 picturesque apartments have been designed and decorated to achieve the perfect harmony between the old and the modern, with a special touch of elegance and sophistication. Upon arrival, we usually welcome our guests with one coffee capsule per guest and a small bottle of wine, so they can taste some of the Portuguese delights. We also have a selection of Portuguese wines and water available in the apartments, which Customers can purchase if they wish, something that our guests have greatly appreciated. We regret that during your stay you did not inform us that you needed more toiletries, as our receptionists would be happy to provide them. Covid has brought challenges to all of us, families, individuals and companies. For this reason, and although contrary to what you say, we have never closed and, regardless of the cancellation conditions, we have decided to allow all customers with active reservations the possibility of rescheduling their holidays. This was very well received by most of our guests, who have been rebooking their holidays. We regret that you did not have the stay that our guests are used to, but as we mentioned earlier, and given the vast majority of comments from our Guests, we believe that your assessment is a little unfair and does not reflect who we really are. The 54 Collection Team

I stayed twice last week at Santa Catarina apartments. One time in the penthouse which has an extraordinary terrace and view a cross Lisbon and the second time on the first floor in an exceptionally well equipped apartment. The access is easy, parking arranged nearby, and while O didn’t use the kitchen facilities these are 1st class as is the bathroom. But the beds are SOOO comfortable! Must find the name of the supplier.
I unhesitatingly recommend Sant Catarina and will be back even tho’ we have many friends asking us to stay with them!

We spent 8 nights in their first floor apartment last week. The managers of the hotel-like property (Nurian and Patricia) were the finest hosts you could hope for. No request was ignored and they were very generous with their time. Making and confirming restaurant reservations, helping with our laundry so that we could sight see instead of watching our washing, and making sure our stay was perfect. The apartment was AMAZING and HUGE. We had a nice outdoor space, kitchenette with espresso maker, nice bathroom that actually had a shower door (unlike so many European hotels) a big bedroom, tons of storage and places to hang clothes and spotless. The only drawback that kept us from spending too much time on our patio was a neighbor whose 7 dogs barked all day long and a dance club next door. Hotel management is addressing these issues. I would still stay at this hotel again because it was so perfect to spread out, write at the nice dining table sit in a couple longue chairs and enjoy our wine and cheese. Would absolutely recommend this property which was also in a great location! So close to wonderful restaurants and sights.

Our stay at 54 Santa Catarina was excellent: accomodation had a large fully equipped kitchen with large lounge and bedroom. There was also a spacious shower room decorated with wood and stone walls. The appartment was real old portugese style with wooden floors, stone walls, shutters, balcony overlooking all the red rooftops. Lovely traditional design. It was so quiet at night eventhough our balcony overlooked a late night bar/cafe among the rooftops. Air con also available and double glazed windows. Friendly Reception staff were always on hand for anything and rooms get cleaned x 2 week with clean towels everyday. It was great having this lovely quiet relaxing space after exploring lively Lisbon. Good location as restaurants, supermarkets close by - half hr walk to Rossio and seafront 10 minutes walk. Tram stop 5 minutes walk. Recommend it 100%. Top tip - take flat shoes/trainers with good grip as cobbles everywhere and v v slippery when wet. Plus many steep hills to sights.

My wife and I stayed at 54 Santa Catarina Apartments, on the recommendation of a friend, in early July 2022 and absolutely loved it. The Apartments are in a fantastic location in the centre of the 'old town', close to great places to eat and drink, and in a local district that still felt real, even though tourists were everywhere. Our apartment, 202, was stylish, cool (in both senses of the word), perfectly sized, had touches of the old mixed with the modern, and came with everything you need for a short break away. We also have to specifically mention the service provided by Claudia and Patricia on 'reception'. Their level of customer service was first-class, friendly and made the stay feel almost like a home away from home. Truly an exceptional place to stay!

Our experience with 54 Santa Catarina was fantastic, from the original booking, to airport car hire, to the staff on site. Our flight from Canada was delayed four hours, meaning for a very long day. Having Sergio waiting for us, looking after loading our luggage and taking us directly to the front door of our accommodation, made the end of day much more pleasant and stress free. Our room, although on the third floor, was excellent. A juliette balcony overlooked the quiet neighborhood below. Our bed was extremely comfortable and the shower is big enough for a small party! The location was very close to the tram for exploring Lisbon and great restaurants and squares were around every corner. Each day the staff would offer suggestions for activites or to book dinner reservations. Our only job during our stay was to enjoy 54 Santa Catarina, Lisbon and the beginning of our holiday. Thanks to everyone.

We stayed here for 4 nights in June 2024. The accommodation is excellent. We booked directly through their website which was cheaper than through a third party.
As this was the first part of a longer stay we had cases so booked the option to be collected from the airport, this was well worth it.
On arrival we were warmly greeted and they did offer to carry our cases up to the room, we did not need this assistance but someone else might. We were on the third floor and the apartment was excellent. The bed was comfortable and it was lovely to have a comfortable sitting area with air conditioning when we returned in the evenings. The bathroom was good with a very good shower. We did not do any cooking so I can't comment on the kitchenette but we did order the breakfast which was plentiful and promptly delivered at the time requested. It is centrally located and so we were able to walk everywhere even down to Belem although we then got the tram back. Rossio station was also close for a trip to Sintra. We were given recommendations for local restaurants and we went to two of them. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, the location was great and I would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Lisbon

Mary hi,
My sister and I shared twin accommodation at 54 Santa Catarina so I cannot comment on what other accommodation the hotel has. That said we loved the hotel and the staff were just great. You might want to consider its position though (which is uphill) if you are travelling with young children.
I got a taxi myself and he dropped me in a corner of the street, some 10 meters from the appartment 's door.
Yet I did not notice restricted traffic signs and hence I don't know if UBER cannot enter tue area.
I suggest you check the municipal website where the restricted area's map should be.
Dear HanColl,
Thank you for contacting us. Regarding your question, we would like to tell you that we don't have a bar/food service, because our apartments have fully equipped kitchens. However you have a supermarket just a 5 minute walk from us and close to us you also find restaurants with wonderful portuguese traditional food for an afordable price (12€ per person). If you have more questions or if you wish to book with us, please send us an email to booking@amgi.pt. We thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
PatrÃcia Torres
Director of Accommodation
