"Our stay at this hotel was wonderful. Behind the simple walls you will find a beautiful and modern hotel. The included breakfast was great and the common areas were lovely. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment that was amazing. Margarida at the reception area was very helpful and provided us with tips and even helped us make dining reservations. She went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The location of this hotel was perfect to explore this magical city. It’s located right next to the university and a short walk to the city center, dining, and attractions. My husband and I wished we could have stayed at this hotel and in Coimbra longer. We highly recommend this hotel when visiting Coimbra."

"Everything was neat. Place, food, staff.I loved it. I will strongly recommend this place. "
