Hotel was conveniently located, close to restaurants, shops, & attractions. It offered free underground parking across from the hotel & you are allowed to park temporarily in front of the hotel to unload your luggage & check in before parking in the carpark. It offers a very good complimentary buffet breakfast spread. The breakfast area becomes a drinks counter in the evening. There’s also a comfortable lounge next to it. The best feature is the open air terrace one floor above the lounge with ample seating. The terrace gives a panoramic view of the city. Service by the hotel staff was personal, warm & excellent. Pedro (I think that’s his name) offered me an umbrella when he noticed I was going out in the drizzle without one. Rita was very generous in sharing information, history & stories on the various attractions & of the country. Although the room is small every attention was paid to small details such as embroidered pillow cases, good breakfast selection & making the lounge area comfortable & homely.

Space is tight in the room & bathroom. The bathroom needs a little update. The shower door couldn’t keep the water from splashing out onto the bathroom floor, making the floor rather wet.

The room was small but the bed was big and comfy. The hotel is also close to the bus and train station and also very close to the city centre. The staff were so friendly and helpful and outlined exactly what to do and where to go. The rooftop had a great view of the city at night.

The room was on the front but noise was not a problem. We had a wonderful view of the town from the room. Breakfast was in a lovely location higher in the block, again with fantastic view. Parking was not on-site but just across the road in a Parking house. It was included in the price and was secure. The staff went out of their way to help.

Nothing.

Our previous property that we had booked cancelled on us last minute. This hotel was recommended by a friend, and we were so pleased. Staff were wonderful, the view from our room was spectacular, room is cosy, but we had the extra space of a balcony. Also the bar and rooftop terrace were fabulous, the views at night were amazing! See the attached photos A huge and delicious buffet breakfast was also included. The location was central and perfect for exploring Coimbra. I think the previous property did us a favour.

It was a little small, as we normally do apartments, but it was fine for one night. A little street noise as no double glazing, but nothing that ear plugs couldn’t fix

Comfortable clean, roof garden great. Access to breakfast until 10.30

No water or tea-making facilities in room

The room was clean and had everything we needed. The breakfast was very good. We were surprised that the hotel is on a VERY busy street - however, once we got settled and went out and explored we realized that we were half a block from the old town and pedestrian areas. So it was in a very good location. We were just a few minutes walk from the main square where we met for our walking tour. Lots of restaurants nearby as well. The rooftop bar was lovely with great views. The staff were super helpful. And the parking was very convenient.

Room was VERY small - but useable! If you arrive by car, you can park right in front but there is tons of traffic so it was a bit stressful. You unload your car and then go park a block away in an underground garage which was great as long as you have a little car. I wouldn't want to try that garage in a big car! Fine for our Fiat 500.

Location is perfect. Breakfast was superb. Staff was very friendly.

Hotel is little bit outdated. Pillows aren’t comfy. Electric kettle or coffee maker in room would be nice to have.

The location is really excellent - at the foot of the hill on the edge of the old town, it's only about 4 minutes walk to the main street with all the restaurants, and the start of the stairs going up to the university. It's a new-ish hotel, fully modernized. We booked a standard room and it was really small with 2 single beds, but when the staff checked there was a somewhat larger room that they moved us to. Not a large room, but OK. Bathroom was a bit small, but had all the modern amenities. It's on a main street, so bring earplugs for the morning truck traffic below. The staff were exceptionally helpful and attentive, and spoke excellent english. They have a free-parking arrangement (in/out privileges) at a garage just across the road. That's excellent, but it is a very challenging ramp system between the floors: up and down traffic use the same ramp (which is extrememly tight, and has several very awkwardly-placed columns)) so there can be some difficult backing-up...one day, we encountered 3 cars coming up as we were trying to go down. Bonus: the rooftop terrace is a wonderful place to wind down the day with a glass of wine, with a full-on view of the old town and the university, Breakfast was standard offerings, but freshly prepared and tasty.

The wifi/internet was very poor - weak, and dropping often

VIEW The room faced up the hill to the university and many towers. This was especially great at sunset and provided a fine view with a sundowner. ROOM The room was on the same floor as the little bar (which was fab) and was a superior room. It was a bit small for what we expected but there was a very comfy bed and we slept well. There was a lovely little balcony that we could sit out and have a drink at. HOTEL One of the best things is the rooftop terrace where we sat and had drinks before going out. The views to the old part of town were amazing and this terrace was a stylish and well designed area. The staff could not do enough to help. As we were visiting Coimbra for a triathlon my wife was taking part in, we needed somewhere to assemble and store her bike. There is no parking at the hotel but they do have access to a couple of levels of an underground carpark across the street, and a storage room. There were very accommodating and ensured we had access whenever we needed it. LOCATION The location was very good for access to the main shopping areas and also get to the quaint streets that criss-cross through the old town. There was a great local supermarket a few blocks away and this was easily walkable in 5 mins. The riverside is also only a short walk away and there are some lovely riverside bars and restaurants to visit. The train station is literally around the corner and well connected.

There was not much but one of the things we noted was that there was no tea and coffee making facilities in the room, and no minibar fridge.

The location was its best feature, which I now realise might sound harsh when you say that the best thing about a hotel is how handy it is to leave it. But it's true! You are at walking distance from just about everything of interest, including great restaurants. It made our short trip much easier. The rooftop had the most amazing view over the city. (I notice a trend here... The outside seems to matter a lot.) The front desk staff was super friendly, the rooms are of a fair size and, most importantly, they were clean (the rooms, I mean, although I would imagine the staff are too). Oh, and there was a reading light! You won my heart with that one. Thank you!

The downside of its brilliant location was the street noise. If I'm not mistaken, the hotel was relatively recently refurbished - it's a bit odd that they didn't invest in better sound insulation. The shower was tiny and not very inviting, but the water pressure was really good, which at the end of the day matters more. It's what's inside that matters, right? The breakfast was Ok-ish. I take my breakfasts really seriously, and this one, I'm sorry to say, was disappointing. Sure, the view is good, but I waited all night for my breakfast!
