This was the worst experience in my several visits to Portugal. I arrived to find the hotel locked in the late afternoon. I rang the doorbell several times and no one responded. I called the phone number on the window and a male staff member answered. I told him I was there to check in and he told I could not as I did not have a reservation. If I had I should have access code . I informed him I was not given one I had a confirmation number for the reservation. Again he denied I had a reservation. At this stage I am frustrated. He says he will call me right back. 10 mins later no response I called him 3 times no answer. Text him and all I get back is hi, I text him I need the code to get in and eventually he gives it to me. To add to the situation the bathroom was not cleaned properly previous guest hair was in the shower tray and on bathroom fixtures. Clothes from a previous guest in closet. As for soundproof they might want to remove that from their description I would highly recommended noise canceling EarPods for the internal noise in the hotel. Better yet do yourself a favor find another hotel.

Loved everything about the property. There was no real good place for us and a couple we were traveling with to get together and share stories about our trip or have a drink besides the rooftop terrace. It rained everyday while we were there. We had a very nice room, clean and very comfortable.

Very charming boutique hotel occupying the space of an old pharmacy, thus the name. The lobby still has many of the old compounds in their original glass jars lightly back lit giving the room a warm glow. Very welcoming. The room was very nice. Large bed with a comfortable spring mattress. Importantly the shower was great—strong water pressure and warm water. Staff was friendly and helpful. Suggested some excellent restaurants and we can confirm they know their local area.

Hôtel fort joli, sur la rue la plus animée de Coimbra. Notre chambre ne donnait pas sur la rue et c’était donc malgré tout très calme, sauf peut-être quand des gens marchaient dans les escaliers. La terrasse commune sur le toit était coquette et permettait de boire son café le matin avec une belle vue sur la ville. Tout se faisait très bien à pied à partir de l’hôtel. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour!

Very uncomfortable

Music was blasted until 1:00 a.m. The rooms don't have AC which would be okay but the fans provided in the room where all broken and the only way to stay cool was to keep the window open. The music they were blasting outside was so loud it made it impossible to sleep. We informed the front desk and they said they were unable to help us and that the room is non-refundable. These conditions were unacceptable and we ended up checking out early and losing out on two nights and finding a different hotel to sleep in. I highly recommend saving your money and going somewhere else.

Different but not bad

It was a good place to stay for a few days. It’s right in the middle of center city and you can walk to the main sites and restaurants. It’s a historical building that used to be a pharmacy so that’s cool. However I would not stay there longer than a couple days and next time we plan to stay in somewhere that offers in room refrigerator and not historical. There is a tiny common kitchen but it’s not convenient. It’s also set up for you to enter and exit on your own with no front desk person most of the time.

It is on a lively and vibrant pedestrianised street, minutes from shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. Open the balcony doors and you are in the midst of Coimbra However, shut the double-glazed doors and “presto”, all is quiet and restful. It is the best of both worlds.
