Very convenient location for visiting Coimbra University including the famous Biblioteca Joanina. The staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful. There is a small rooftop deck for drinks and with views over Coimbra and the river. The room was very large (Junior Suite) and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Quite simply the beast place I stayed in Portugal - if anywhere ! Beautiful big rooms - wasn’t expecting a whole extra sitting area, flash bedroom area, flash bathroom area. Absolutely beautiful. Even small things we reperfect - like comfy firm pillows and mattress - you would think a basic, but so many hotels fail on this. I was so impressed with everything. The location is perfect - down the road from the university and botanic gardens, close to cafes and bars down the road, but a quieter area. AND there was a swimming pool ! Absolutely perfect stay.

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.

    I stayed in 5 places on a backpacking trip around northern and central Portugal - the other 4 were all good, but this was the best! The accommodation is clean and spacious and it has a lovely little terrace area. Unlike some places where you have to rely on other travellers in adjoining rooms being mindful and quiet, you will have this one all to yourself. Good communication from the owner. The location, across the river in Santa Clara is fine. There's a good craft beer place, Epicura, down the road too 😉

    This was the best accomodation we had on our long trip around Portugal. Hosts were really nice and gave us great tips for trips. Breakfast was not included but we still received some delicious pastries for breakfast. Whole house is incredible and has magical garden. We would definitely stay here again if we ever travel to Coimbra again and definitely would recommend.

    We were travelling through Spain and Portugal and wanted to stop somewhere that would allow us to chill, re-charge the batteries, enjoy a good meal and not have to pay an extortionate price. This hotel met every expectation for us. Great facilities, friendly service and a fantastic meal in the restaurant. Really easy to find just a few kilometres from the motorway.

    Location is nice, right across the road from Portugal dos Pequenitos (you can see it from the window and balcony). On the other side you can see Mosteiro de Santa Clara-a-Velha. Old house, high ceilings, wooden staircase leads up to the entrance. Overall fine for an overnight stay.
