Reasonable walking distance to historic centre, sizeable and characterful building, with lovely view out from the breakfast room. Bright and airy common areas including small bar and day room (though not all air-conditoned). Helpful and friendly staff. Close to a popular square with lots of places to eat and drink, but the place itself is not noisy.

Be aware Coimbra is hilly and this is near the top of one - it can feel like quite a trek back up from the historic centre if you're tired at the end of the day!

Breakfast had lovely selection of cereals, cold meat, cheese, breads, buns, hard boiled eggs and hot scrambled eggs, bacon and beans, yogurt and fruit juices. Choice of different coffee brews plus hot chocolate. Rooms are well appointed with comfortable beds. Free parking is available on nearby streets, no problem finding space! Thanks to Tony for recommendation of “Papa” & “Praixis” restaurants and for suggestions of things to see and do!

I planned a trip for 14 friends and this was one of our stayes. I had trepidations about The Luggage, but all for naught. The house was a gorgeous old mansion that had been fairly well divided and excellently restored/remodeled. The rooms were spacious & beautiful, windows and woodwork classic, and bathrooms well built and provisioned. The help was super helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were some of the best we had while in Portugal. It was an easy walk to Papa resaurant - recommended, and the university.

We happened to be there the first night of fall semester. Techno pop played and amazingly high volume at a park about a 100 meters away until 2:30AM.

The house is nearly 100 years old and is beautiful with stunning views, from a huge balcony, across Coimbra. The facilities are excellent and clean and the breakfast was varied and self help. Ask for room 203 as it has access to the balcony, a living room, the bathroom is external just across the hall but not a problem and this is why the room is so big. Arthur at reception was very helpful. It is close to everything you want to see.

Communication was really good - and the team were very accommodating and helpful when our flight was delayed meaning that we had to check in after hours. Thank you! A great area to stay (behind the university) with a few bars a couple of minutes walk. We had a suite arranged as a double bed and two sofa beds for our teenagers - which was quiet and very clean. Breakfast was very good with lots of tasty options to help ourselves to. We would definitely stay again.

Close to the University, not far from city center. Very spacious room; classic elegance in an old manor house, with some nice modern touches. The breakfast was good, although not the best we had on our trip.

I wish they had made better use of the balcony/terrace space, possibly for breakfasts, or at least for afternoon lounging. Also, beware: Its proximity to the University means that there can be a LOT of noise at night -- seemed like there was a nightclub concert happening just below the host. I guess it's not that we didn't like it, per se (it's to be expected given the location), but it did deprive us of a bit of sleep... :-)

Everything about this property is just lovely, we really enjoyed the comfort of staying here. The period of the building was matched by the interior/decor. We had an external bathroom for our stay, but it was no real problem, just across the hall from our room. All linen and towels were clean and comfy. Staff were so friendly and helpful providing an explanation of the area and places to go and see and where they were located.

We were here for a Thursday/Friday night stay and because the property is at the top of the hill the noise from the bars in the square below travelled up hill. The first night the music was going till 4am, the 2nd night we joined in!!

The Luggage is hosted in a nice traditional house with nice views over the old town. Our twin room was simple but functional, relatively spacious with high ceiling, beds were comfy. Bathroom was private but outside (~ opposite) the bedroom, and it had a good shower. Breakfast was self-service and decent, with fruit/ham&cheese/pastries/etc, and nice views from the indoor breakfast room. We left early in the morning (at around 6 AM) to catch an early train but the host prepared some generous breakfast the day before and left it in the kitchen for us to take away, which was much appreciated.

Nothing really. It might get a little noisy if there are big groups (which we didn't experience during our stay) because the bedroom doors are not heavy and you can hear the stairs' floorboards and people talking from other rooms.

Wonderful rooms comfy beds and perfect interiors, super breakfast, incredible position and view, super beautiful villa! A must stay when you come to beautiful coimbra.

The bar and breakfast room need just a little bit more love - like table runners or some minimal flowers a bit of soft music Its has a cold atmosphere even though it is perfectly furnished with a lot of taste and the breakfast is delicious!

The whole hotel is so elegantly curated , yet in a way that feels homey and comfortable. The room was very big (got upgraded to a suite- very nice gesture) , everything was flawless. It is 3 minutes away from a big square with numerous bars and restaurants. The receptionist was also very helpful and insightful with an itinerary of what to see and do in the city. I would 100% recommend it to everyone coming to Coimbra!!
