"A comfortable room, excellent food both at dinner and breakfast, and an interesting property with lots of history. The legend of Inez and Pedro gave it a unique twist, and the numerous pictures of them by many different artists were displayed throughout the hotel. We also walked through the gardens in the back. They are probably beautiful in the spring and summer, but being October there were just a few plants still in bloom. We enjoyed our stay very much!"

This was our first visit to Coimbra. We took a Flixbus to Coimbra from Porto. Easy to get to the hotel. The hotel was well located and it was very easy for us to see all of Coimbra. The staff were excellent. Breakfast was nicely prepared and included each morning. Coimbra is a small but friendly college town. The hotel was safe, clean and the staff were very helpful. When we return to this charming city, we'll stay here again.

Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

The breakfast was not only fresh, magnificent and delicious, but the view from the terrace is amazing. Very generous. It felt like we were lodging in someone's comfortable home, located in a residential neighborhood but close to the university, shops, etc. Our hosts were invisible most of the time (jn a GOOD way) but always available as we needed them. Coimbra is a lovely, historic destination and this hotel/hostel was the perfect location from which to see and access all of the local...

Reading the reviews (which were back and forth ) had me debating whether on not to book here but in the end we were very happy with our stay! This is not a traditional hotel. At check in and it looks like nothing and you start to question your choice to stay here but then we saw the room we were assigned and was thrilled. They decorated it for our anniversary! Such a wonderful touch. It was so clean as well. I know some rooms are more cramped than others but ours was more than enough. However...

Hotel Oslo

10/10 Excellent

We stayed here for a one-night stay in Coimbra as tourists. It is conveniently located downtown near the river. You have to walk uphill to the main attractions. The room was clean and comfortable, but not too big. The staff was helpful with suggestions. The rooftop view was amazing in the evening! If you are coming with a car, as we were, the parking is free in a. public lot across the street. The lot is very tight, but then again this is an urban area and space is tight.

Quinta Das Lagrimas

Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is located in historical palace which definitely adds a lot to its charm. The hotel lobby, corridors, restaurant and other areas look like a royal palace and it feels like you are living in the museum, but with ability to touch and use the items. The room is very spacious and comfortable and the hotel part is very beautiful and pleasant to walk. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is also located quite conveniently within 10-15 mins walk to Coimbra city center.
