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.

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.

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 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.
