Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was cozy and pleasant. The room was small but adequate for a short stay, with nice wooden floors. However, it was smaller than expected from the pictures. The staff was kind and professional, taking care of parking and offering a delicious breakfast. The location was ideal, close to the train station and overlooking the historical areas of the city. The dining experience was good with plenty of choices and an excellent view of the old town from the terrace bar on the 5th floor.
My stay at the hotel was decent overall. The room wasn't that much better for the extra 30 euros per night, overlooking the backyard. The bathroom was fairly small, and to be honest, I can't remember what the breakfast was like.
The hotel offers small rooms with a balcony and a view up to the University, which helps to escape front road noise and disturbances from late-night drinkers. The rooms are compact and tidy, but for the price paid, they are completely acceptable.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, spacious, and well appointed, creating a comfortable and perfectly quiet atmosphere. The service was top-notch, with the staff being absolutely dedicated to helping us and even inviting us to their rooftop bar for an AMAZING view of the city. The location was excellent, just a short distance from the historic town and within walking distance of all the sites and excellent restaurants. The dining experience was delightful, offering a good variety of hot and cold items with a beautiful view over the city.
The hotel offers a choice of cozy rooms, albeit on the smaller side compared to the average European size. The service is incredibly helpful and friendly, providing useful indications about the sights of Coimbra. The location is excellent, just a short stroll to the delights of the old town, although a bit noisy due to the traffic if the windows are open. The dining experience features everything you might need in the morning, with a beautiful view from high up, but possibly limited due to the current circumstances. The facilities are adequate, ensuring a pleasant stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were extremely comfortable with great air-conditioning, providing a nice view across to the university. However, the room was a bit small and located above a busy corner that got noisy early in the morning. The hotel has a great set-up overall.
The hotel offers wonderful views towards the university and a beautiful panoramic view of Coimbra. The rooms, while large enough and clean, appeared small, old, and tired-looking. The service was excellent, the best from all the hotels visited in Portugal, and very helpful, even offering to keep luggage while exploring the city. The location is very good, despite being on a busy road, with everything nearby for city exploration. The dining experience was ample and overall satisfactory, with a great variety and an amazing view from the rooftop. The facilities are ok, nothing extravagant.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and featured a comfortable, big bed with quality linens and pillows, even though they were a bit small for the price. The service was fantastic, with the friendly staff going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The location was perfect, within walking distance to major sites, restaurants, and shopping. The dining experience was very good, with a decent variety of quality food. Overall, a great option.
The hotel offers a beautiful panoramic view of Coimbra from the terrace and serves a scrumptious breakfast. The rooms are slightly roomier with a nice wooden floor. The service is extremely helpful, including parking assistance and knowledgeable staff. The location is great, right in the center of everything to see. The dining experience is okay, with some interesting choices but lacking variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and a convenient location.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though smaller than expected, were beautiful and featured a comfortable bed, but the distance from the toilet was inconvenient. The service was top-notch with professional and extremely helpful staff, making my experience enjoyable. The location was convenient, being close to the train station and many restaurants, but the view from the rooftop terrace was a nice touch. The dining experience offered a good variety of quality food, especially fresh salads. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
I decided to pay for an upgrade after seeing how small the standard room was. The room was small, but for one night only, it was okay. It was clean and comfortable, but I felt it was a bit tight. The staff was helpful but a little impersonal. They were exceptionally nice and efficient, speaking English very well. They tried to upsell another type of room, which I found a bit pushy. The location was brilliant, just around the corner from the station, near good restaurants, and the old town. The dining was ample and overall satisfactory, although it could have been better with a slightly improved selection. The hotel had phenomenal views of the university, especially at night.
The hotel had super comfortable and clean rooms, though a bit noisy from the street. The service was helpful and friendly, with good breakfast options. The location was ideal for exploring the town, close to eateries and bars. The dining experience was surprisingly good with a lot of fresh fruits. Overall, a cozy stay with minor noise disturbances.
The hotel has great aspects, like being super tiny and the shower, but the rooms were a bit small, dark, and noisy. The staff was incredibly helpful and focused on making my stay the best possible. The location was perfect, close to many good restaurants in the historic center of the City. The dining experience was very good, though not a huge variety of items available. Facilities were absolutely amazing.
I opted for an upgrade after seeing how small the standard room was. The hotel is nice and conveniently located on a traffic road, which can be noisy. However, the absence of a water boiler, coffee machine, and fridge in the room was a letdown.
The hotel offered both positives and negatives. The rooms, while small and lacking some amenities, were still comfortable and adequate for a short stay. The service was mostly friendly and helpful, except for a few instances. The location was convenient for exploring major sites. The dining experience varied in quality. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
