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.
