Hotels on the River in Coimbra

Amazing staff and clean, no frills, quiet property with an outstanding restaurant. Honestly, I was shocked when I entered my room. No windows, basically a box with a door….but let me tell you….the mattress and pillows were so comfortable. The pillows were divine. The shower water pressure is out of this world and so nice. Hot water came out immediately, so no waiting. It was so nice and clean and the staff made my stay so wonderful, including the restaurant staff. I was dubious at first, but I fell in love with this place. It’s right on the river, next to an amazing street that has brilliant restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, and shops. There was dancing, parades, demonstrations, and even a winning football team getting a police escort in the three days I spent there. Big shout out to Margarita and Artur in the main office and Tiago in the restaurant. I loved Coimbra so much and you all made me love it more. Thank you. I will be forever grateful for all you did and I hope to see you all again. Much love. Obrigado.

This is a great base for a few days in Coimbra, which is a must-see in between Porto and Lisbon. Our room was comfortable with great beds and a view of the charming tile-roofed hills. The shower was very tiny and could be challenging for large people but it worked fine. The best thing about the Hotel Oslo is the rooftop bar with a stunning view of the town. The 5th floor breakfast area also has an excellent view. The breakfast was good, with a nice variety of Portuguese specialties. The Hotel Oslo is a quick Uber ride from the train station and an easy (hilly) walk to the charming shopping street and university.

Great hotel it is not in the center however it is no far. Staff very friendly, there are a lot of amenities inside the property.
