it is a very stylish boutique hotel, located just next to the university campus (all historical buildings, plus a short walk downhill to the city centre). it has an excellent restaurant and super helpful staff. The building is old yet refurbished with good taste. It was a perfect finish of my tour around Portugal. Bonus: a sweet turtle girl lives in the garden fountain.

This is a hotel of understated grandeur both in its older and more modern buildings. The setting , historically at the site of a romantic legend as well as actually within superb gardens are incomparable. The location, a 10 minute walk to the city centre is perfect. The staff are the most courteous and helpful you could find. The meals in the Bistro restaurant were of high quality and good value, served in this tranquil and most tastefully decorated suite of rooms, like a club or library. The extravagant breakfasts are served in a patio dining area beside the Romantic Garden, where the ducks make their ablutions in the tree-shaded pond as you drink your coffee. The weather was beautiful so the indoor pool was not used but looked to be a pleasant , if relatively small facility, within the spa area. The large, classically rectangular outdoor pool with ample, fresh and comfortable loungers, parasols and a discreet bar was a lovely spot after city tours of a late afternoon. (Don't miss the churches or museums, even a short visit is rewarding). The fascinating history of the place is so intimately bound-up with the story of this city as to make this a rare chance to live in the event. The wealth of art, literature and guidance as to the 14th century tragedy of D.Pedro and D. Inez available on site made for easy appreciation of the facts and legends relating to this aspect of Coimbra's history. As for the bigger historical picture, the staff were very happy and well able to advise on how to make the most of a 2 day visit.

We had a very good stay at this hotel. The location was convenient, just a short walk from the train station, yet in a clean and pleasant neighborhood. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. The interior design was beautifully done, with thoughtful touches that made the atmosphere very relaxing - including a lovely aroma throughout the hotel. Breakfast offered a standard variety of options, but the quality of the products was excellent.

I loved everything about this hotel, the size of the hotel, the size of the room, the food in the restaurant, the team the parking space the area around the hotel, the service that was 24/7 I guess, the price the location which is 15 to 20 minutes just outside of the hustle and bustle of Coimbra, the beauty of the hotel everything is so comfortable and beautiful, the people that live around are very nice, there's a bakery that prepares food and a pharmacy and a supermarket just 100 m from the hotel, so if you're looking for something outside the hotel that's close by on foot it's very accessible, there's a big river just 200 m from the hotel where you can go for hiking, everything is amazing about this place really.

We had a really great view on the city center and the room was really spacious. At breakfast they served fresh and ripe fruits, which I love in Portugal. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. Car parking was extra for €12,50 per 24h in a closeby garage. The hotel is central and everything in the city center is within walking distance.

FAQs about hotels in Coimbra

A Seat of Learning and Royalty

Portugal’s medieval capital, and a pioneer of fado music alongside its modern counterpart Lisbon, Coimbra is a vibrant university city with a good helping of historic sights.

The university is the country’s oldest and its attractive buildings cover a small hill overlooking the Mondego River. The institution has an excellent science museum, the ornate Joanina Library, and one of the world’s oldest botanical gardens which contributes to the lush landscape.

The midweek nightlife in the city’s bars and restaurants is popular with students, while shopping options range from the stores of the CoimbraShopping complex to smaller boutiques on cobbled streets in the historic Baixa district.

The medieval centre houses the museum of Coimbran sculptor Machado de Castro and the Old Cathedral, begun under the reign of the first Portuguese King, Afonso Henriques. He is buried in Santa Cruz Monastery, while the tomb of a later queen – Elizabeth of Aragon – is in the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova. She founded this hilltop convent to replace flood-prone Santa Clara-a-Velha below. Between them is Portugal dos Pequenitos where Portugal’s main monuments are reproduced in miniature.

Nearby is Quinta das Lágrimas, a 19th-century mansion that is now a luxury hotel on Booking.com. Also available are cheap hostels and guest houses near the 2 main train stations.

    It is a nice city, but lots of construction and we were there during Burning of the Ribbons, and the parade so the University Library was closed. We saw the gardens, which were ok. I thought it was fun to see the parade and all of the students celebrating, but my husband said he could have skipped Coimbra. We stayed on the main street, Rua Ferreira Borges, up the hill, (near town hall), but our friends stayed in a place that was parallel to the river, R. da Alegria. They said it was not a pleasant walk to their place as it smelled like urine.

    The city will be more inviting in a few years when some of the construction projects are completed. The people seemed friendly and helpful. I was disappointed to not find any churches or cathedrals that didn't charge an admission to enter. Most other places in Spain, France, and Germany were not like this.

    After visiting Lisbon and Porto it was nice to visit this beautiful historic city and escape the crowds. We enjoyed the music (Fado), food, and history of the city. We found the city to be easily walkable, although like much of Portugal, prepare for hills. We relished the quite walks through the city streets in the evening.

    Coimbra is a beautiful city with lots of things to see. the only problem is that it is in a valley so there is a lot of walking up and down the hill to get to places. Driving seems quite difficult and parking even more but do can reach all places in the historic centre on foot.

    My friend and I are travelling Portugal on the road and we booked the apartment for 1 night stay: we loved everything about the room and the process, from pre check-in to check-out and everything was communicated clearly, without leaving any room for "misunderstanding". Aurélio and Bruno have been very kind and Mariana was super nice. If I am going back to Coimbra (and I know I will) I won't even bother looking for accommodation somewhere else but I would definitely stay with them again. Thank you for the nice experience!

There was also an other activities room for kids. - The Breakfast was great and had a large variety of both savoury and sweet. - Can walk on river front from hotel to city centre - Had some discounts for sightseeing like "Portugal dos Pequenitos"

    The location ais great, very central! As Coimbra is quite small is a perfect place to stay for a weekend. The studio was cleaned, and has basic thing in the kitchen so enough to cook few basic meals. Perfect for a weekend or a pitstop while travelling trough Portugal. Also, there was an AC in the studio which helped a lot.
