This hotel is beautiful like the pictures, but the buffet is overpriced. My travel companions loved the themed buffet nights, but I ordered from the menu (which was limited). The AC would have to be reset by the front desk everytime we removed the key from the power slot and one night several rooms lost power for an unknown reason... so I woke up to no AC and I had to get dressed for my conference by cell phone flash light.... When I asked to speak with the manager, I was told that she was not there... no apology, explanation, or offer to make amends for the inconvenience! The room was ALWAY cleaned excellently! The AC was very cold and the remote only worked sometimes so I had to call the front desk often for them to fix it. But they did not alway answer the phone? I am not sure why, but I had a hard time reaching any services... room service, the spa, the front desk. No one consistently answered their extension. I stayed here with 14 students and 4 coworkers so we had like 10 rooms but we experienced similar issues. The spa was very reasonably priced. I recommend using the steam room, sauna, hot tub, and indoor pool... by 8p because they literally asked me to leave the pool at 8p (even though the front desk guy said that the pool closed at 9p). Different people give you different information. For example, the bartender told us that we had to leave the lobby tables because we had outside food. When I asked at the front desk, they said we could our food anywhere!

I ❤️ Coimbra

We were upgraded to a corner room with an oversized balcony looking out over the pool to the river. Spacious room, quiet, plenty of shelf and drawer space. The staff were amazing, Portuguese-friendly. Breakfast was very nice, with lots of hot and cold options including an omelet station. Location was very walkable to the Old Town, and also to the opposite side of the river and the Santa Clara monastery, plus walkways on both sides of the river.

Nice clean central hotel

Nice clean and well located hotel. The room was a bit outdated and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable but was perfectly fine for one night’s stay. While the mini bar was surprisingly included in my room rate, I was equally surprised to see that there were no amenities provided (body lotion, cotton balls etc). I didn’t try the breakfast.

Affordable 4 stars with Caveats

This was an affordable stay in Coimbra. Supposedly it's a 4 star hotel. However the in-room amenities/experience made it feel more like a 3 star. The room didn't have facial tissues and the toilet paper was rough. The bath was immaculately clean but the shower head leaked water all over the place. You can ask for a coffee maker to be brought to the room, but then it will cover the TV. All extra outlets were in a wall away from bed, so when the phone alarm rings in the morning you have to walk to turn it off, if you put your phone to charge at night as most people do. The hair dryer is the 1200watt attached to the wall without much cord that easily overheats. The room was very ample with plenty of storage and a great view, but the area around the hotel was not enticing for a stroll to the city which is just a 10min walk. The lobby and common areas are very nice. Breakfast was very good, and the staff was very attentive and helpful. Overall mixed feelings about the place. But for $165/night including taxes, breakfast and parking it's not a bad option.

The staff were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the outdoor pool and the bar area. The breakfast was really nice and they even offered a tray with gluten-free options to my partner with outstanding and tasty products. However, it does not seem like anything else change since I was last there about 8 or 9 years ago. The rooms looked dated, the door didn't really offer soundproofing so you could hear everything in the hallway and other doors banging loudly, the bed was not comfortable whatsoever and the tables and chairs in the balcony were not clean (they had bird poop all over them). Moreover and even though we put the DnD sign at the door, the hotel staff entered the room without checking with us and while we were away: one to leave a plate with apples (not sure what that was about but ok), and another one to leave a slice of cake and wine, which I admit it was nice but I would rather have someone checking with me before walking into the room. Plus, because we were out the whole afternoon and evening for my birthday, that slice of cake must have been left out for so long it was pretty dry and sad. You will need a cap to use the indoor pool, which they don't tell you about it until you reach the spa staff, who look to charge you 4€ for each cap, so we didn't use it. I think this hotel is good enough to stay for a couple nights but not a whole week like we did. Will certainly look for other options around the area next time.
