about SAMESAME
We didn’t start samesame to build a brand.
We started because we needed to find our people. The ones moving with the same pulse.
The ones who didn’t quite fit into hotels, hostels or traditional rentals.
The ones looking for something slower. More intentional. More human.
What began as a search for belonging became an urban coliving space in the heart of Lisbon,
built around connection and community.
Since 2018, we’ve been holding space in Lisbon for people to drift in, stay for a while, and find their own rhythm.
Locals, internationals, friends, strangers: they come for a few nights or a few months.
They all leave lighter. Or fuller. Or just… different.
Yes, we have two buildings, coworking, and a new venue coming. But the real story is what unfolds inside.
Talks that start in the kitchen. Dinners that turn into rituals.
Spontaneous ideas. Shared silences. Some call it connection. Some call it love.
We just know these are the kind of moments that don’t need a flyer.
Here, life happens in lowercase.
No performance. No big claims. Just honest presence. Not for everyone.
Just for those who get it.
And if you do — welcome in.

samesame Ecosystem
Madalena
Quieter, softer,
still very much part of the house.
A five-floor building with a full coliving floor, private apartments, and studios. Welcoming, vintage, retro 60s design. There’s a vinyl playing in the living room and space to slow down. It’s where people rest, reset, and still feel at home, just around the corner.
Booking options: Single and double private rooms with private bathroom, studios, 1, 2 and 4 bedroom apartments
Beco
This is where community really lives.
Two floors, coliving only.
It’s where dinners happen,
gatherings stretch late,
and people naturally cross paths.
Shared moments, shared rhythms, shared life. If you’re here for connection,
this is the heart of it.
Booking options: Twin room with shared bathroom, premium private rooms with bathroom, 1 bedroom apartments
Coworking
Where you get your stuff done.
A calm, focused coworing space in the Madalena building, with its own
external entrance through Beco do Rosendo.
Open to colivers and anyone looking for a calm, focused space to work. Fast Wi-Fi, quiet corners, and the chance to cross paths with our community (we bet it’s worth it).
Booking options: Standard or Premium Desks
the neighbourhood
In every direction, something old, something moving.
Cais do Sodré, Chiado, Carmo. The Cathedral, Castles.
Tiles, corners, balconies, stories. Baixa is Lisbon’s heart: loud, luminous, unapologetically alive.
It’s all happening around us.
samesame is what happens in between.
