Safe, walkable, and very close to everything I wanted to walk to. The property sent me a code to enter the bldg the day before my arrival. I arrived at 1:30pm or so, and since my room was almost ready I was given the option to wait in the kitchen, which I did. Therevis no lift and my room was on the 2nd floor but staff always offered me a hand with my bag. Room was minimal but sufficient and efficient. AC worked and wifi worked. Hot water took awhile to get going but once it did the temp was nice. I feared street noise is a thing, but despite the square playing Xmas music and public parking so close, the noise surprisingly wasn't an issue. I slept for over 12 hrs on day 1(my first having traveled from the States). The wall between you and your next room is thin though and on day 2 unfortunately I had neighbors with explosive laughs waking me up between 1and 2 am, dropping a plate on the floor then going on to snoring. Well you always are at the grace of your neighbors. Overall I had a wonderful time in Coimbra and would return to this property.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Our checkin was very easy and our host was super friendly and gave us some tips for things to do around the city, as well as a map. There's a very convenient kitchen shared between guests on our floor, and it's kept very tidy and organized! Although we didn't have a long stay here, we enjoyed it greatly.

Excellent find. I’d go back.

So welcoming and friendly. The place is well located a very short walk from the station and spotlessly clean. There is a kitchen for drinks and so you can make your own meals. Very comfortable rooms. I would definitely recommend.

The hotel was well equipped and we were able to do our laundry there. Walking distance to everything worth seeing in Coimbra. The shared kitchen and fridge was very convenient. Comfortable beds and good shower. Highly recommended and we would definitely stay there again.

Liliana welcomed us with warm enthusiasm! She helped us to the third floor (!) with the luggage and made sure we were comfortable with the room. When they warn you about the ceiling height of the attic rooms, pay attention! I knew the warnings, but liked the idea of the attic. My husband who is over six feet tall was not as happy with the room. I giggled with each bonk of his head on the ceiling. Despite his minor injuries, we both loved the location and room, and we are still married! Liliana is an effervescent, lovely hostess who is generous with sharing her knowledge of the city and area. She was also kind enough to wash a load of laundry for us! We enjoyed the central location and quiet neighborhood. It was a wonderful stay!

Service made the stay amazing.

What really made this hotel great was the employee Liliana. She was unbelievably friendly and helpful. The room itself was nice but nothing special. Liliana gave great recommendations of things to see and do. I checked out the first two on her list and ended up just trusting her after that and wasn't disappointed. It is very central to the historic and shopping district. I would definitely stay here again if I return.

Liliana at the front desk is an amazing person and very friendly. She makes the difference!! Rooms are small, bathrooms also. No free parking near and the hotel is in the old city, not accessible by car. Liliana show us a place to park the car for free but @15 minutes walking from hotel. Main attractions in the city is on a walk distance from the hotel.

I thoroughly enjoyed my four nights a Coimbra city charm. Sophia who work there is very special and very helpful. I enjoyed the coffee as well as the use of the kitchen. The location was also quite good being not far from either the train station or the bus station or the sites to see in Coimbra. There was also good Wi-Fi and TV services.

Tiny but has everything you need. Lots of store’s & restaurants close by. Had a shared little fridge & micro & coffee bar on each floor. Keyless entree to the building & your room. We walked to the meeting point near the bridge for our free student tour which was excellent. This room was a great find!
