Great location and warm, very hospitable staff. Great breakfast in room and lovely welcome snack/drink upon arrival. We were lucky to have the hot tub room which was welcome after a cold, rainy day of sightseeing. The room is a little small but very cozy and well maintained. Parking was fine on the street but beware of the possibility of some very narrow roads if you are using GPS and driving straight to their location. we opted to park on a more distant neighborhood street(free) and walking up the hill with our bags. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

Nothing

Don’t be fooled by appearances. It may be a little over the top, but this is a great hotel. It is what I call a fun place to stay and the location is perfect. It is comfortable and pristine clean. The room is roomy. Breakfast is delivered in a basket to your room every morning at your chosen time. There is bread, scrambled eggs, yogurt, fruit, Ham and cheese, coffee, and orange juice, plus butter and jam. The staff are 10+. Always helpful. And trust me you are going to love Coimbra. Go to a Fado performance. You can spend most of a day at the University. Don’t miss the Roman Museum. We found a restaurant we liked so much we ate there 3 days in a row. It is Tapas nas Costas Bistro. This is seriously good food. We were trying to eat everything on the menu. About a 10 minute walk from the hotel.

Absolutely nothing. Would go back in a second.

The hotel and the staff were so wonderful and welcoming. From the welcome drinks to the breakfast brought to the room we felt extremely well taken care of. They even offered to do laundry for us when they saw we were headed to the laundromat. The apartment we stayed in had two bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The design and old charm of the building felt like a fairytale. The hotel is located close to the university and plenty of restaurants which made for lovely day trips on foot. We also enjoyed a beautiful sunset view out the windows of the kitchen. We highly recommend this hotel and would love to visit again in the future!

This was a truly unique experience. The design of the rooms at Solar Antigo is quite unusual and very romantic, making it an appealing choice for couples on their romantic getaways. Each room features a jacuzzi right in the middle, adding to the intimate atmosphere. Upon check-in, the friendly staff greets you with a welcome gift: a glass of champagne and a slice of cake. Located in the historical center of Coimbra, on a hilltop, the property offers stunning views of the city. However, navigating the area may be challenging for individuals with disabilities, as the streets consist of paved hills. Nonetheless, if you are a history enthusiast, an artist, or simply in love, this place is ideal for you. Breakfast is served directly in your room in the morning, and each accommodation is well-equipped with everything you may need for your stay.

I can't think of anything. I just want to highlight again that walking around that area of the city might be challenging for people with disabilities. The hotel and the staff were amazing.

An unusual property with rooms spread out among several older buildings. Each room is unique—ours had a hot tub and a wonderful view over a steep hillside. It was spotlessly clean. A generous breakfast is delivered to each room in a basket. The staff is super friendly. The hotel is on a very steep street and a little hard to find. Because it is an historic neighborhood, streets are narrow and figuring out how to get around is a bit challenging. But the city is rich in history and there are interesting things to do.

Our room had a hot tub but no room to sit comfortably.

I recently had a wonderful experience at this property during our vacation, and I can't thank the site manager, Katia, enough for her thoughtful efforts to make our stay special. She upgraded our room and adorned it with lovely candles and rose petals upon our arrival, which truly set the mood for our celebration. Katia even took the time to show me several rooms so I could choose the one I preferred, which I greatly appreciated. The room itself was impeccably clean, and I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. The building is very old, and each room is updated with modern amenities and still has the old building charm. If you enjoy unique stays, I wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable getaway. The only minor drawback was the noise from the surrounding college town, especially late at night. Since the building is historic, the windows aren't soundproof, which can be a bit disruptive. However, this was a small price to pay for such a fantastic experience overall. I would definitely return!

Some slight noise late night.

It is VERY steep to get up there, but no problem when the lift is working or you can get a bus. Walking down is fine! The breakfast pastries don’t taste fresh The ensuite could use some shelving above the light switch, so you have somewhere to put your toiletries

The staff at Solar Antigo were exceptional. They went out of their way to be freindly, thoughtful and accomodating. The location is near the university and is on a hill, with a narrow road, but there is a parking lot close by to leave your car. GPS is a little funky in finding the hotel. The breakfast each morning was delivered by a cheery employee. The room was updated and had a big jacuzzi tub but we did not use during our stay. The decor is a little modern, bright colors, but very comfortable. There is not an elevator so you will have to walk up stairs if your room is not on the ground floor. The staff suggested 2 outstanding restaurants which we dined in and were amazing. The staff also provided laundry service and the laundry was folded so nice we hated to pack it! Wish we could have spent more time in Coimbra as it is a beautiful city. The Solar staff will go out of their way to make your trip memorable.

As mentioned, the property is on a hill so be prepared to walk down and up the hill to visit the main square of the city. There is a lift for the return trip back to the hotel but we did not employ it.

Staff very welcoming and informative upon check-in. Took the time to show us on the map some points of interest such as tours and restaurants. Shown to our room, we had deluxe suite so very comfortable. Staff replaced bottles of water each day, linen, cleaned room and brought breakfast to the room at requested time. Overall a pleasant stay, close to downtown and with some amazing views.

Very steep walk to downtown, as it was an old building ceiling was low and had to watch your head, be aware that a fraternity house is close by, so because the room was right on the street you could hear party goers and people and cars going past.

Everything was what we expected for our couple's escape. The bed was astonishingly comfortable and with a classy touch on it. The view of the bedroom was great, you could see the whole city centre. The bathroom and the hot tub were very clean and spacious. The breakfast was delicious and it could be described as a "melange" of flavours available. From cereal, to fruits and amazing breads available, you could even get your own chocolate milk with the materials they gave you. Also to not forget, that we were received with champagne and homemade cake made by the hotel staff. The staff members were very helpful and welcoming! To summarize 5 out of 5 stars in our humble opinion, can't wait to be back!

Nothing everything was great
