Old World Charm

If your looking for modern conveniences this is not the hotel for you, but if you want 1920s charm, this is 5*. No fridge, coffee, satellite TV, but great charm.and a pleasant breakfast. Very friendly staff, old carpets and I think it's great.

Probably the most beautiful example of art Nouveau I have ever seen. I’m grateful that they have not demolished or changed the structure, the furniture, or the detail.

Stayed at 5 hotels during my trip in Portugal and this one is by far the worst hotel. Pros: - Nice receptionist that helped us refill our water in the middle of the night - Cool elevator - Free breakfast and was actually decent. Had drinks, eggs, and lots of protein choices Cons: - Very run down and old building/room - Water pressure was super weak - Horrible wifi connection - Musty carpets Would not stay again personally

Hard bed!

100+ year old hotel that they have tried to preserve close to it’s original character. Obviously it wont have modern features and that’s fine with me. I only gave this three stars not because of the age but because of the hardness of the bed and issues with the cooling/fan. Cooling issues were resolved quickly (thank you!). Bed hardness was not (until I could get back to my chiropractor). The breakfast was very nice (European), but it was the same every day. Some variety would be nice. Staff were mostly friendly and accommodating.

Art Deco Charm

Great service friendly staff and a great location for a nights stay. Charming art deco hotel, a little tired but very original. I would stay again. Internet seemed to only work in the lobby.

The building is 100 years old and a bit of a time capsule. The location is fantastic if you arrive by train at Coimbra-A as it's a 3 minute walk away. Lots of good restaurants in the street behind the hotel. The staff were super helpful with ideas and maps -- much better than the official tourism office staff!

First of all I knew from previous reviews the hotel was showing its age but my view was it had alot of charisma and charm. It also checked all the boxes for me on being convienently located, clean, quiet, and comfortable. Everything in my room functioned fine and my bed was comfortable. The breakfast provided was a wonderful way to start the day. I would not hesitate to stay again.

Great location but hotel is run down and could do with updating. No coffee making facilities in the rooms and shower temperature is hit and miss. When we arrived staff were very rude and spoke to us like something she had just stood on.
