Coimbra hotellia

Plussat: A very uniqe place with beautiful surounding! A huge room with style and character. Clean room and helpfull staff. Big and beautiful garden with a little river beside it. Great breakfast.

Plussat: Characterful rural property with a beautiful garden. Room was cool and dark due to its position under a verandah. E xcellent breakfast. Friendly owner

Miinukset: Due to the age and nature of the property there was a musty smell. Very noisy creaking floor above us and plumbing above noisy too!

Plussat: The Quinta was a pleasant place to stay, a comfortable room with traditional furniture and good bedlinen and a new bathroom, It has rather strange surroundings but an attractive garden with a good pool and a nice country view. The owners are friendly. Breakfast is standard fare. We found restaurant im Lousa 'To dos Frangos' to be extraordinarily good value, massive portions very cheaply, beware the is a Locals section which is fun and a normal restaurant. 'Vilha' not quite so cheap but the delicious pork shin could easily have fed three!

Miinukset: The disadvantages are that, after a long tiring journey it was very difficult to find using GPS and the nearest restaurants are over three miles away in Lousa. The hot water supply is temperamental despite the fact we were the only guests. Wifi coverage is poor.

Plussat: Very well decorated room.

Plussat: The staff very helpful and respectful

Miinukset: The farm is very small and dos not have restaurant for diner or lunch.

Plussat: Great room, silence, great garden en pool, very nice breakfast and tasteful dinners. Perfect place to come to rest.

Miinukset: I was travelling by public transport, than the location is a bit outside but still manageable if you use taxis. For 2 dinners, 1 lunchbox and 1 clothing washing I paid 60 euros what is a bit high to Portugese norms.

Plussat: This place is set in farmland on the outskirts of Lousa and has great rustic charm. It is a good base for exploring the local area and is a very comfortable, quiet and relaxing place to stay. This is probably mostly to do with the philosophy expressed by Filipe (the son of the owners who met us on arrival): 'when you come through our gates you are at home'. Guests are genuinely trusted and encouraged to treat the property as their home. All the rooms are decorated with an individual theme, are comfortable and immaculately clean. The grounds are lovely with lots of places to sit quietly or to socialise with others. The pool is good for a cool off after a long day. Breakfast is simple but fresh and tasty. We also had dinner on one of our nights stay, enjoying fresh local cuisine and the company of some fellow guests. Highly recommended.

Plussat: Friendly staff, clean rooms, quiet place, nice areas to relax and great breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing at all

Plussat: Staff was wonderful. Helpful and so pleasant.

Miinukset: Welcome beveverage was a nice touch. Wonderful breakfast and delicious dinner. Also, again the staff.

Plussat: Spacious room, lovely garden and a very good breakfast buffet.

Plussat: lovely hotel in park like setting

Miinukset: The type of room we reserved was not assigned to us because of a large wedding party. We wanted a balcony room but were given a garden view room instead. Should have offered better compensation than an upgraded welcome drink.

Plussat: I liked the atmophere of the hotel and an invitation to a pre-dinner class of wine was a nice bonus, as it more or less collected all the quests to socialize a bit before dinner. A small par three golf course was a very positive surprise.

Miinukset: The hotel was not very easy to find, even if we had a navigator. This can of course be a bit intentional to preserve the feeling of exclusivity. Some signs around the hotel would help the guests to find it.

Plussat: Breakfast was great- lots of options. Staff was exceptional. Incredibly gracious and helpful Recommended a fabulous restaurant for a celebratory dinner. Easy walk into Coimbra.

Miinukset: We honestly loved everything about this hotel!

Plussat: Gorgeous gardens and the old section of the hotel were interesting.

Miinukset: Rooms are dark, there are no available points without pulling out a light. The modern section of the hotel clashes with the old section.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel, beautiful surroundings.

Plussat: Location to the city center was great. The food at the restaurant was fantastic and the staff was very helpful in everyday. The room was very clean and it was a fun to stay. Great breakfast!

Miinukset: Honestly, the way they decorated the hotel did not fit the look and feel of the history and time period of the building. The carpet and some other items were modern looking in a place with ancient history and stories. Bring in a great designer and dust the common areas and it would improve the image of the place. Still a great place to stay in Coimbra.

Plussat: We booked the superior suite and the room is fantastic : best bed so far during our trip, very spacious, bright with lots of beautiful windows (all with shutters) and a small balcony, coffee & tea facilities on the room. A bright and spacious bathroom en suite. Breakfast in the morning was good with plenty of choice. We arrived early but could leave our luggage and the hosts gave us some information about the area so we could already go and explore.

Miinukset: Depending on who the other guests are it can be a bit noisy as it´s an older building..

Plussat: The room was spacious and clean with comfortable beds.The breakfast was fine and the personel was kind and helpful .The bathroom had an amazing view of the city.The location was nice and easy to find .

Miinukset: Though the outside bathroom was private and very clean it was a little far away from the bedroom. The floor was noisy.

Plussat: Breakfast, atmosphere, clean and cosy

Plussat: The room is very clean and well decorated. It had two windows and is very airy.

Miinukset: I know we have to share bath rooms with other guests. The shared bathrooms and toilets were clean. But they’re like the ones you used when you’re staying in a university dorm. They were six cubicles each in the toilet room and bathroom. I’ve stayed in many bnb which I need to share bathrooms with others. But I just personally didn’t like this kind of shared toilets and bathrooms. It’s my personal preference. FIY

Plussat: The staff were very helpful

Miinukset: It was all good!

Plussat: Modern twist on an old style home. Welcoming living rooms.

Miinukset: A little bit awkward to have a private bathroom across our room with keys... Other rooms have their bathroom in their suite.

Plussat: The hotel was clean and as described. It is a great location and there is parking right outside.

Miinukset: The shared bathroom facilities - they were clean and you had plenty of privacy, but I personal did not like it. I obviously already knew about the facilities before we arrived. It is not a dig at the hotel, just a personal preference.

Plussat: Good location, easy walk to the university, student (inexpensive) restaurants etc. Room was comfortable, spacious. Outstanding breakfast!

Miinukset: Wondetful old house, but that means squeaky floors and the odd nail head. Wear some flip flops!

Plussat: Helpful staff, nice view, convenient location, clean room and toilet. Breakfast is great, too!

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: Amazing place in quiet district. Beautiful view on Univercity. Very tasty breakfasts, comfortable kitchen and cozy public room. Clean in shared toilets and showers, comfortable beds.

Miinukset: No hanger or hook in room for clothes

Plussat: Location was brilliant, just around the corner from the station, near to good restaurants and the old town. Great view from our room (which was on the 4th floor).

Miinukset: Very crowded at breakfast. Not really enough tables for everyone. Best to go for early or late breakfast.

Plussat: Valet parking offered for car. Hotel took over car in front of main door and returned it to main door at departure.

Plussat: Lovely roof terrace with a great view of the city, especially nice for a nightcap.

Miinukset: More space in the breakfast room, it was full & we had to wait for a table.

Plussat: We up greated which cost us 30euros more. Which gave us a bigger room.

Plussat: V nice breakfast with the most lovely view ever

Plussat: The rooftop deck. I wish the bar had opened earlier in the evening as it is nice to enjoy cocktail hour and the sunset. Room was fine but a bit dated. AC worked well, bed was comfortable. The breakfast was ample and overall satisfactory. Front desk staff exceptionally friendly and helpful and we LOVED the free parking with valet service. Such a pleasure not to have to deal with parking.

Miinukset: I would have preferred more fruit for breakfast. It was all whole pieces of fruit and some weren't ripe. Would have enjoyed berries, melon etc...also this was the only hotel where we stayed during 17 days in Portugal and Spain that didn't provide fresh Orange Juice. It's always nice to have a minifrig in the room and some bottled water is always appreciated.

Miinukset: Pienet huoneet

Plussat: Ystävällinen henkilökunta, siisti huone, helppo pysäköidä, henkilökunta hoiti auton parkkihalliin

Miinukset: Huone vähän ahdas, aamiaisen lämpimät tarjottavat haaleita

Plussat: Staff was friendly, very helpful, and professional. Great view from our room with small balcony. Breakfast buffet was outstanding and served in a top floor area overlooking many historical areas of the city. Excellent location!

Miinukset: Room was bright and clean, but somehow felt small and cramped for a “superior double” with a healthy price tag. Almost no room to store or hang clothes. Would have liked a kettle to heat water and a more useful electric outlet in the bathroom.

Plussat: Friendly staff eager to go the extra mile to make our stay a very pleasant experience.

Miinukset: We liked it all

Plussat: Comfy bed. Nice clean bathroom. Roof terrace.

Miinukset: The bar food wasn't great.

Plussat: Wonderful location with excellent and extremely helpful staff. The breakfast was delicious and there was free parking for our car. The view was great with a deck that looked out at the old city that was just as good at night as the day. We liked it so much we ended up staying an extra day.

Miinukset: We were not able to stay there longer.

Plussat: Very comfortable room with small, but clean bathroom. Excellent location in the city centre. Very good breakfast with variety of hot and cold dishes. Free car park very close to the hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location of the hotel is excellent and at walking distance to major attractions in the historical center. The staff were helpful and very kind, no objection at all. Decent breakfast. WiFi connection and speed adequate. Airconditioning worked as it should. There are a couple of (cheap) restaurants on the same street right next door.

Miinukset: Breakfast was decent, but really nothing to write home about (few choices coupled to zero day-to-dayvariety), and they haven't heard of having salt&pepper available anywhere (this actually seemed to be endemic to all Portugal eateries that I have visited, rally strange). The room I was staying in was tiny. As a consequence: barely adequately big bathroom with minuscule sink. No wardrobe, no desk, no chair. therefore if you need to work, you have to do it on the bed! There was only one power outlet in the room beside the two for bed lights. No safe box or refrigerator in the room either. Since I was alone and stayed only for 4 nights it was OK, but for a couple staying in this double-bed room it would be crowded and if you need to do any serious amount of work - look elsewhere.

Plussat: Great location, with lovely view across the river to Coimbra old town. Good breakfast and very helpful receptionist.

Miinukset: Room was very basic with a tiny bathroom. No kettle or tea tray provided which you would expect in The uk. The road in front of the hotel was very busy and noisy, so not a lot of sleep.

Plussat: Hyvä ja monipuolinen aamiainen. Siisti huone.

Plussat: Great location with easy stroll and cafes along the way to old town. Quiet spot, super helpful staff who spoke excellent English.Couldn't have been happier.

Miinukset: No complaints

Plussat: Great modern location over the river at Coimbra, we had views of city and river and ruined monastery from room. Excellent breakfast in basement and a terrace at rear. 5 minute walk to old town. free secure car parking within 700 metres. warm staff and really quality layout and interiors. had a lovely suite,

Miinukset: nothing really, on site car parking would have been nice but easy enough to drop off bags/kids in nearby road but this may not be to taste of all travellers

Plussat: The host was most welcoming and helpful. He gave us tips on what to see and how to get around the city. We had booked for 2 nights only but decided to stay 2 more nights. He was able to find us accommodation even though the hotel was very busy. There are great eating places nearby . Don't miss the ice cream creations at Novalis. To die for! The €5 for breakfast is well worth it. There is great vRiety and the food is fresh. Enjoyed the street scene outside our window on Sunday when the street is closed to vehicles ...but not to bikes, roller blades, etc. Good sound proof windows and black out curtains. There is an elevator which is welcomed even when you have even minimal luggage. We would stay here again and recommend you do!

Miinukset: Everything was great except we found the room lacking in storage space. A chair and a small desk would nice. Guests have the use of a fabulous living room on the lower floor which we used often. If the weather permits there is also a very nice and private patio area off the living room.

Plussat: Very good location, a short walk to downtown Coimbra. Comfortable beds, but a small room. Breakfast is adequate - scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, tomato slices, crusty croissants... Lots of restaurants next door, and a couple of good ice places to refresh your evenings

Miinukset: I wish they were still serving the freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast...

Plussat: The breakfast was great. In addition to that the location was very convenient, just ten minutes away from the city's centre.

Plussat: Good and confortable

Plussat: Location, quiet night, breakfast, nice staff, comfort, good bathroom.

Miinukset: Room in second floor without elevator, bad coffee at breakfast, bed duvet too hot for the season and no lighter alternative available.

Plussat: The location is very convenient for the Coimbra (A) station (only a couple of minutes walk. Within reasonable walking distance of the university (although uphill!). The room represented excellent value for money with a good sized/very clean bathroom. Breakfast is basic but in the context of the overall price of the room it represents good value

Plussat: Lovely hostess gave us the best city tips! Validation of parking Great location in Coimbra

Miinukset: Small squueky bed. Very hot building and malfunctioning airco. Loud street below with lot of addicts

Plussat: Very kind and helpful staff. Great suggestions for food and highlights of the city. Car park very close to the hotel.

Plussat: Very convenient location. Receptionist - although a bit slow - was very happy to help with any questions regarding the hotel and town. Rooms were tidy and the bathroom nice and modern.

Miinukset: The pillow covers felt like they were made of paper.

Plussat: Very simple, but cosy place. The staff were very helpfull and nice!

Miinukset: sound isolation isn't great

Plussat: The location is brilliant, so close to the train station and at the foot of the climb up to the University, couldnt be better located. Lovely view from the balcony up the hill. Recently refurbished rooms. Breakfast was ordinary but in keeping with the price Very friendly staff and helpful

Miinukset: Breakfast could have been a little less bread dominated!

Plussat: Staff was very kind and friendly. Lovely balcony !!!

Miinukset: Not easy to find the property at first.

Plussat: Katarina gave us a wonderful welcome and helpful information about the city.

Miinukset: If you are on a gluten-free diet, skip the breakfast.

Plussat: Easy check in. Rooms are basic but for the night we stayed it was perfect.

Plussat: Excellent location - close to the University, the river and terrific restaurants. My room had a nice view of the university tower. Staff were very friendly and helpful both with the check in process as well as sharing tips for sightseeting and dining options. Would definitely recommend them and would stay there again. My only complaint is I wish I could have stayed longer.

Plussat: Excellent location, very clean, affordable great service.

Miinukset: No complaints

Plussat: Breakfast was nice.

Miinukset: Air conditioning didn't work. Located about 15 min walk from center of the city where restaurants are. Believe better value for money alternatives are available.

Plussat: Pool was perfect, enjoyed playing ping pong, there is also some gym equipment. Location is ideal to either easily walk into town or walk to the beautiful park in the other direction. Great for people who love to go running in the morning. Easy walk to either of the two train stations as well. Super comfortable bed!!!!

Miinukset: Breakfast buffet was a bit basic, but overall ok.

Plussat: The beds were very comfy and so was the bathtub. Breakfast was excellent with good selection.

Miinukset: Wish it was a little closer to the University, but is still in walking distance.

Plussat: great food at restaurant and breakfast

Plussat: The hotel was very quiet and comfortable (a huge double bed) with a good restaurant. we were able to park our car in the underground garage and walk to the old town. The receptionist was very knowledgeable on sites to visit in the town and she gave us excellent advice. The pool area was very comfortable for lounging around although the water was a bit too cold for me. A great stay ... oh and the breakfast was good too.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Near the bus station. Easy to get in and out All the staff were very helpful. Room was great. Has a swimming pool.

Miinukset: A little far from center of town . 15 minute walk. Some of the younger staff at the reception desk need a little more training in how to get around the city.

Plussat: Room was very clean and comfortable, great service. Staff very attentive. Breakfast was excellent, a variety of international food and portuguese pastries. I would recommend to my friends to stay there if visiting Coimbra!

Miinukset: The only thing I didn't like is that breakfast time starts at 07.30 which in my opinion is a little bit late for business guest who already have meetings starting at 08.00. But everything else was excellent. :)

Plussat: Private parking

Miinukset: Our room has no internet connection & that effect our trip. The hotel cannot arrange other room for us because fully booked & we didn't get compensation from hotel because they say because we booked the room through booking.com. There is nothing they can do with the room price.

Plussat: Very very clean, lovely hotel with friendly staff.

Miinukset: The pool area could be improved but this is only a very minor point

Plussat: Hyvä uima-allas. Siisti huone ja hyvät sängyt. Sopivan matkan päässä ksupungista, eikä liian kapeilla kaduilla. Parkkipaikka.

Plussat: location was good slight walk to the centre but this did mean that we had good parking and it was easy to get to. I would not hesitate to book this hotel again.

Plussat: Located just on the edge of town by the motorway with underground parking. Very helpful at check-in explaining the sights by walking through the city centre. Pleasant, clean sunbathing and pool area. Comfortable rooms with air conditioning. Good range of breakfast foods including a few local specialities

Miinukset: Some might view the building as being a bit boring to look at from the outside

Plussat: Sijainti, ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta. Nähtävyydet kävelymatkan päässä.

Miinukset: Joka aamu sama aamiainen. Huono vuode, olisi pikaisesti päivitettävä.

Plussat: Great value for money! 79 euros a night for a family of 4, double bed plus bunks for the kids, lots of room to move around with a modern clean bathroom. A basic breakfast is included, nothing special but considering the price we had no complaints. Staff were friendly and they will store your luggage if you need.

Plussat: Great little central location with lots of character in the se Velha plaza.

Miinukset: A little noisy with students on Thursday night but also good to see young ones having a good time.

Plussat: Grat location, nice, competent and helpful staff

Miinukset: If you travel with someone please consider if both of you are ok with glass door to the toilet (related to apartments with privat bathroom)

Plussat: Sijainti on hyvä.

Miinukset: Meluisa, kaikki käytävässä tapahtuva liikkuminen kuuluu huoneisiin, samoin mikäli huone on kadun puolel- la opiskelija ryhmät juhlivat joka yö. Huoneet eivät ole tasalaatuiset, ja esim. luvattu jääkaappi puuttuu osaltilta huoneista. En suosittele huonojalkaisillle.

Plussat: Location. Staff enthusiasm.

Miinukset: Wash basins are useless!.....you can't wash your face because the stupid design of the motion sensing tap means you can't get your head over the sink!! When booking check if you have a useable toilet/super room on your floor as the one on ours was women only!! I had to walk 100 metres up and down 2 flights of stairs to go to the toilet during the night. Breakfast is very basic and espresso is 1 Euro. Rooms were dirty and unswept. Previous occupiers hairs littered the bed!! Landing carpets were filthy.

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and was always available to help us.

Miinukset: Our floor didn't have a bathroom

Plussat: The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful. They recommended a restaurant that became my favorite in Coimbra. The location is near the college so very convenient.

Miinukset: The location is near the college and was rather noisy outside when we were there.

Plussat: Perfect place inCoimbra. They let me change rooms

Plussat: Beautiful building in a great location

Plussat: Serenata Hostel is clean and comfortable hostel, i’s very well located, close to La Sè. The kitchen has everything you need for cook and the breakfast is super rich! High recommended!

Plussat: Amazing location with restaurants, cathedrals and shopping within walking distance. The neighbourhood was amazing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Budget price.

Miinukset: The rooms were tiny, tired and stuffy. There were a lot of smokers around ... it was hard to get away from. There are hundreds of students roaming the streets 11pm to 4am, shouting, singing, partying, smoking and littering. The cleanup starts early every morning with a power blower. Sleeping is almost impossible.

Plussat: Great location.

Miinukset: it is very dirty with some insects in the rooms.

Plussat: Very clean place, everything well organized, very quiet zone at night time. I definitely recommend this place to any one. I love it.

Plussat: The rooms are well equipped and the hostel itself is nice in terms of facilities and what it offers. Wifi is so basic though that it not working forced me to lower my rating for the facilities. It was generally pretty clean though

Miinukset: A lot actually, the self check in system meant we never got to encounter a single staff member till by accident we entered the kitched in the morning before checking out. The wifi didnt work at all, the ned was uncomfortable, the entire place was pretty much a ghost town, and granted we did arrive around 10, we still didnt see a single person in the morning. The whole experience was subpar at best, and honestly there were better options in the area, we chose this to take a break from airbnbs and get a more social experience, which we did not.

Plussat: Room had everything what was needed, it was clean and the price was reasonable. I enjoyed staying in this place.

Miinukset: Place is located a bit far away from the city centre but I enjoyed walking so it wasn't a big deal to me.

Plussat: Friendly place. Good car parking.

Plussat: It was great. Simple and quick check in. Very clean. The hostel looks nice and like small hotel with separate rooms for 2 people.

Miinukset: Crazy climbing to reach the hostel. Not perfect location. But not so far ftom down town.

Plussat: Be prepared to get the full residence hall vibe! Entering the accommodation was pretty easy, just call the staff (phone number on the door) and they will open the door for you. Also you‘ll receive an email with alle the information about check-in, wifi, etc.. wich also means you can do the check-in at any time. The rooms are small and simple but clean and cozy, you‘ll find everything you need, even had my own bathroom en suite. I arrived with a car and was allowed to park it on the courtyard, wich is a big plus, but parking on the street around the hostel is also free. Location wise, you‘ll make your way to the university and the botanic gardens in just a few minutes by walking down the hill. Enjoyed staying there, would recommend especially for young backpackers/travelers.

Miinukset: The kitchen is used by a lot of people, mainly students, so don’t expect it to be as clean as your kitchen at home, but for preparing your breakfast it’s all fine As i said, there are a lot of young people/students living there, so be prepared to hear them talking and laughing till late at night

Plussat: - very friendly and helpful staff - nice verwnda outside - very good kitchen facilities

Plussat: Great view, great location (5m walking from the main bar area), room had lots of space, bathroom was very clean, has a really nice pateo outside to chill. Would definetly come back

Plussat: The staff was very helpful with checking in and out. The room was spacious and quiet. And old building but comfortable. The shower, toilets and kitchen were clean although they had to be shared among the visitors.

Miinukset: There weren't many visitors at the time. It took a while to walk from the CSI to the centre. I would have liked some more cafes in the neighbourhood.

Plussat: Small but had everything you need. Incredible location in old city but easy to walk to. Easy parking a block away.

Plussat: Location is perfect, parking is very convenient.

Miinukset: Wifi did not work. The room was big, but enormusly huge wardrobe and extra bed took all the space.

Plussat: The location of this very small hotel is excellent. It is 'down', and most of Coimbras interesting places are very 'up', but you are central, quiet and have excellent restaurants close by. There is a bus nearby to take you up to the uni/nteresting areas.

Miinukset: Our rooms (2 single occuppancy rooms) were next to the reception but we actually had no issues with this. You need to be fit - no lift an d lots of stairs.

Plussat: Lyhyt matka vanhaan kaupunkiin.

Miinukset: Aamiainen oli niukka. Lähellä oli iso katu, josta kuului melua. Kova patja. Kosteaa (kosteus tiivistyi ikkunoihin).

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: Pillows need updating

Plussat: The breakfast was adequate although different from north american standards. The location was excellent although a little hard to find. If I had known the room was so small, I would have booked 2 rooms.

Miinukset: rooms were small. No onsite parking.

Plussat: Sijainti on loistava! Majoituspaikka vastasi sikäli odotuksiani että en odottanut mitään ihmeellistä koska yöpymisen hinta oli niin matala.

Miinukset: Sänky oli huono ja epämukava, yksi yö täällä olisi riittänyt, koska nukuimme huonosti. Sängyn patja oli liian kova ja patja oli vuorattu muovilla tms, ymmärrän sen lasten sängyissä mutta en aikuisten. Aamiainen ei ollut mikään ihmeellinen.

Miinukset: A very simple room without any decoration and quite noisy as we were close to recetpion area

Plussat: Included breakfast, location, staff was friendly, ...

Miinukset: Can’t pay with a card in advance.

Plussat: Despiste of the problems mentionated it was a good stay for 1 night.

Miinukset: Air conditioner was very noise, old furniture and impossible to take shower without flood the bathroom.

Plussat: Straightforward and clean hotel in great location. Very helpful staff and parking within easy reach for just 5 Euros every 24hrs.

Miinukset: The ac unit was really noisy

Plussat: The location was very good- close to the main square and across from the river. The beds were very comfortable, and even though the room was small, there was enough space to put luggage & things. Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: The shower was a little slippery, and the room was small. The towels were very thin.

Plussat: I liked the personal of the hotel and the conditions offered. They were cleaning every day the room, a quiet hotel, well placed vry close to the middle of the town.

Miinukset: The costs were a little big big but...we managed

Plussat: - fair service for the price

Miinukset: - Quite tight rooms

Plussat: Good location Great value

Plussat: Hotel is clean and has a parking space available for extra charge.

Miinukset: Towels are bad and at night I smelled someone smoking in nearby room (but is not the hotel fault, hotel doesn’t allow smoking) I though hotel was close to the university but is a long walk up.

Plussat: Good access to restaurants and places of interest. Specially if you are a keen walker. You can see a lot if you are prepared to take long walks. Also, my bedroom had a good view of the park and Montego river.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Excellent location, has it's own parking, great staff!

Miinukset: A very little side negative, really little - the contacts to charge the cell phone were away from the bed

Plussat: comfortable room with great staff and also a good breakfast

Plussat: Great value

Miinukset: All was good

Miinukset: The room was the size of a closet.

Plussat: Good discount :)

Miinukset: Good value for money in general but the place has become old a bit and requires refreshing.

Plussat: Big elegant hotel, great price, plenty of free parking perfect if you are driving, as it's a few min drive to the center

Plussat: the location

Miinukset: the lack of an Pool/recreational area

Plussat: Very big room, good reception, beautiful view from hotel, free parking

Plussat: Good parking facilities, close to the centre, nice view over Coimbra. Comfortable room with good beds and good breakfast.

Plussat: lots of parking, not much more positive to say.

Miinukset: Staff did not seem very happy. There was a rowdy group of german guests that were very drunk and causing trouble. Breakfast was very average, the hotel is very far removed from the city

Plussat: Free parking, free shuttle to town, breakfast was above par & the front desk clerk (Miguel) took plenty of time to show me a map & explain what may be best to do during my short stay. The bed was firm but comfortable. Flat screen tv, connected to wall...but was quite small. Having the restaurant/bar/room service was helpful due to the area hotel is in, not much walkability. Because it’s set apart, every room probably has a decent view of green or the river & city.

Miinukset: Rooms were dated, but looks as if renovations come in waves (the bedroom floor looked new, keys were electronic/touch). The tub was the older deep style & had finish/pain damage, there was hair in the tub & mirrors were smudged/handprints. Location doesn’t lend itself to walking...it’s directly off the highway round-a-bout.

Plussat: The large free safe car park is a thing always appreciated on my journeys.

Miinukset: I didn't enjoy the draught beer very much, so had bottles instead.

Plussat: Great location. Loved the historical hotel. Friendly staff and great breakfast.

Plussat: Location next to the train station was great. It was right on the square and pedestrian street where most of the action is happening. The building exterior is gorgeous baroque. The staff was friendly. We were able to check in 3 hrs before the room was said to be ready. They had nice luggage storage for before or after check out. View from our room to the city was beautiful. The historic elevator was fun.

Miinukset: The interior needs a serious update, even it it kept the Art Deco design stylings, it needs a refresh. People were not kidding, the carpets are pretty bad. The bed wasn't the most comfortable things. And not having wifi available in the rooms (although they do state this in the booking information).

Plussat: Excellent location with easy access to all sites. Very nice Art Deco building and the staff was very pleasant. Also a good breakfast.

Miinukset: The place is in need of some sprucing up but still a very good experience.

Miinukset: Wi-Fi in lobby only, parking a block away

Plussat: An Art Deco beauty that has retained its personality. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast good for the money, bar the coffee. Super handy location as in the old town and one min from the station.

Miinukset: The woefully lumpy pillows let down the otherwise simple and clean room. The downside of it being 'untouched' means it's not for those who can't tolerate staying somewhere that smells like an antique shop.

Plussat: Very helpful and serviceminded employees

Plussat: Tyylikäs rakennus

Miinukset: Rakennus rapistumassa - vanhanaikaiset kraanat

Plussat: Stayed in the honeymoon suite with good views of city up hillside to university. Pleasant room, best bathroom layout. Windows that open fully to let in cool night air - lovely. Light weight bedding at last! Average breakfast offering in comparison to all other places we’ve stayed in Portugal this trip. Great scrambled eggs. To have someone playing the mezzanine piano at breakfast time would be a real bonus.

Miinukset: Awful over brewed Coffee.

Plussat: Very good buffet breakfast was included

Miinukset: This hotel is very old and sparse but clean. Could use updating current for charging electronic items or for international travellers.

Plussat: Well located, sized facilities, looks like a palace, specially the old fashioned elevator

Miinukset: No parking or vallet, AC not working

Plussat: Charming old hotel in a great location. Spacious room. Helpful staff. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: Bed extra-firm. Carpets in need of replacement

Plussat: Beautiful hotel from the Art Deco era.

Plussat: Perfect location in the middle of the city - close to railway station Coimbra A.

Miinukset: Internet only in the lobby and on 1st floor (wireless)

Plussat: We liked the location and the public areas of the hotel.

Miinukset: The hotel must have been a gem in its hayday. Today, however, it is in need of a drastic overhaul. The rooms and hallways are dingy and warn. With a little bit of work it could be a wonderful place to stay. They do not have parking so we had to use a public lot across the street and had to refill the parking meter every few hours.

Plussat: The original fixtures and fittings from when the hotel was built are still in place and give the building an old-world charm and (slightly faded) glamour.

Plussat: Elegant breakfast room and wonderful view of the river.

Plussat: It was a convenient location from which to explore Coimbra.

Plussat: Loistava sijainti Lissabonin keskusta-aluetta ajatellen.

Miinukset: Huone oli vanha ja hyvin kulunut, talviaikaan ikkunasta veti, joten yö oli viileähkö nukkua.

Plussat: Hotelli on vanhanaikaisuudessaan viehättävä ja sijaitsee keskeisellä ja kaunilla paikalla.

Miinukset: Hotellin on todella meluisa! Liikenteen äänet kuuluvat todella selvästi, mikä on selitettävissä sijainnilla, mutta toisista huoneista kuuluvat äänet olivat niin selkeitä, että päädyimme vaihtamaan majoitusta ensimmäisen yön jälkeen, vaikka olimme varanneet kaksi yötä.

Plussat: Mukava kun hotelli oli aivan keskellä kaupunkia.

Miinukset: Hissiremontti kesti melkein koko päivän eikä ollut toista hissiä käytettävissä. Kipeäselkäiselle neljänteen kerrokseen kipuaminen ei ole helppoa.

Plussat: Hotellin vanhan ajan tunnelma

Miinukset: Hotelli edellyttäisi remonttia, erityisesti ilmanvaihdon parantamista. Huoneet haisivat. Vaihdoimme huonetta, mutta tilanne ei paljon parantunut.

Plussat: Well located. Old fashion of the room with its pro and cons.

Miinukset:

Plussat:

Miinukset: It was very shabby, old and smelly. We had no hot water in our shower.

Plussat: The decor, the friendliness of the staff.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Nice hotel with young looking design, good breakfast with the essentials (bread, fruits, cereals and various pastries). Kind and welcoming staff. Good position, close to the Coimbra A station and city center.

Miinukset: The breakfast room is a bit small for all the guests and this might be cause confusion. In addition just one staff member person for breakfast time was not sufficient even if she was running all the time (juice squeezer always dirty and crumbs on the tables).

Plussat: Close to old part of town, easy walk from Coimbra A station. Nice staff. Comfortable bed.

Miinukset: The room was very warm in the afternoon. Noisy if we opened the window. Air conditioner was of limited benefit.

Plussat: Very convenient location, walking distance (flat road and not hilly road) to train station and sightseeing places, a very big supermarket close by.

Plussat: The location is nice and near the old town. Rooms are clean and worth the money.

Miinukset: The bathroom is a bit outdated and has a bathtub.

Plussat: Hyvä hotelli automatkailijalle Portossa piipahtamiseen. Iso parkkitalo korttelin päässä ja keskustan nähtävyydet tavoitettavissa myös jalkaisin, jos ei ihan pientä kävelyä säikähdä.

Plussat: Good position near the main attractions and the bus station, room comfortable and clean, staff kind.

Miinukset: Breakfast too expensive, I suggest to search coffee bar around.

Miinukset: Breakfast not KETO friendly. No hot meals eggs and bacon or boiled eggs would fix all

Plussat: Woman were here extremely helpful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Centrally located, comfortable hotel with great breakfast

Plussat: Sijainti kätevä. Vaikka itse hotelli ei olekaan vanhan kaupungin puolella, on ainakin sen ylimmäistä kerroksista loistelias näkymä vanhaan keskustaan ja yliopistolle. Kadun puoleiset parvekkeet olivat myös kiitettävät suuret sekä oleskeluun että maisemien ihailuun.

Miinukset: Rakennus on hieman betonisen ja karun tuntuinen. Jos kaipaa tunnelmallista majapaikkaa, tämä ei ehkä ole oikea valinta.

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was not as convenient as it was away from the main path of the Camino, but that is subjective.

Miinukset: The bathroom shower curtain and shower area had mold stains and we had to bring it to staff attention - which they dealt with immediately. We had one airco issue, but again the staff responded quickly.

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: Too much noise in the rooms facing the avenue

Plussat: Great great staff. Best breakfast so far without doubt on muøy trip. Close to the historical part. Cozy place, with a living room you can use and chill out. Great value for money.

Miinukset: A bit long walk from the bus terminal

Plussat: The breakfast was great.

Plussat: It is clean, with good breakfast

Miinukset: The place was noiseing, all night and morning

Miinukset: Hinta laatusuhde huono. Liikenteen melua. Epäsiisti. Melua käytävästä ja muista huoneista.

Plussat: Handy location,very helpful and friendly staff,great breakfast.Clean and tidy

Miinukset: The room wasn't the quietest place we've ever stayed in. Across the road in the main square there where lots of noisy University students that were celebrating something (The start of their studies? )for a couple of nights and then there was a reggae concert in the park across the road for one night as well. Not the fault of the hostel but it happened to us so just request a quiet room.

Plussat: Very well located, close to the city center. The breakfast was good and plenty and the people there are very friendly

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very good breakfast

Miinukset: Bathroom were horrible! Only 2 bathroom for all the rooms and they were for male and female. The showers were underground and they are like the bathroom of a big gym..terrible

Plussat: Beautiful room with a stunning balcony!!! Also the staff was friendly and helpful. You can walk to the university within minutes

Miinukset: The traffic seems to be very busy in front of the building.

Plussat: Nice breakfast with lots of options, facilities were modern and clean, the staff was friendly. Located in the center of the city.

Miinukset: I was told I was going to be just 2 people (in a room of 4) but at 2 am two guys walked in very loudly, and did that repeatedly during the night which was very unpleasant. The area is central but quite noisy if you stay on a Friday night.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Very noisy we had a room with a own bathroom on the frontside.

Plussat: Location right opposite to a big park (Jardin) with a free walk in cinema at night. Such friendly humble staff. Great breakfast, helpful lady. Nice common living room, well renovated 18th/19th century building it seems.

Miinukset: Dark scary steps/stairs to shared bathrooms downstairs. Strange bathroom shutters/locks which nearly got stuck from inside. But have seen same locks elsewhere in other hostels in Portugal, so suppose that's only what they have.

Plussat: Hotelli oli aivan kadun vieressä, joten liikenteen melu kuului melkoisesti huoneesemme, samoin kun huoneemme oli juuri vastaanottoa vastapäätä joten muiden asukkaiden äänet kuuluivat selvästi. Pysäköinti paikat ovat kadun varrella jotka olivat ilmaisia. Vuoteet olivat hyvät. Aamiainen oli hyvää ja kahvi erinomaista. Henkilökunnalta saamamme palvelu oli avuliasta ja ystävällistä. Hostelli on kauniisti sisustettu.

Miinukset: Äänieristys vóisi olla parempi.

Plussat: The swimming pool was the only good thing and they offer a great canoo trip.

Miinukset: Flimsy cottage with mismatched supplies, broken showerdoor, not clean. Wasp nest on the midget golf range, our son got stung 8 times. Camping shop is closed.

Plussat: The campsite is well located, just a short drive from the centre of Combra where you can park easily enough by the river. I don't know how much parking costs as we were there Sunday evening and it was free. The bungalows are small but well equipped and clean with lovely views and sunset over the hills. The pool was cold but very clean with a lifeguard.

Plussat: well equipped home, good facilities

Miinukset: no restaurant on walking disctance (all closed at the time, in peak season)

Plussat: We stayed with 3 people in a bungalow for 4: not very big but well laid out. Good alternative for a hotel if you just stay in Coimbra for a couple of night. Sheets and towels are provided. Nice balcony with a view. We did not try out the pool but it looked quite nice. We had breakfast in the restaurant: was good and staff is very friendly. If you travel by car, the camping site is easy to find (there are signs to it). To get to the city centre, you can drive to the large parking at the river side. There is also a bus stop to go the city centre right in front of the camping.

Plussat: The pool and environment.

Miinukset: There are no AIR conditioner in the boongalos. At the time we've been there it was absolutely impossible to stay in the boongalo.

Plussat: It was well laid out. Facilities were good

Miinukset: We had to wash some items in the cupboards before we used them

Plussat: The balcony was great. The swimming pool was very nice. The wifi worked well in bungalow 5. The view is gorgeous. The location is close to the main tourist attractions.

Miinukset: The bungalow for 4 people was very basic and small for our family. It could do with some maintenance. Some of the kitchen utensils could be replaced. The pillows were lumpy.

Plussat: Amazing place near the city and perfect to connect with the nature.

Plussat: Tostas w ham and cheese ciffes wines alls
