Good news and bad news. Good news: We had a broken suitcase handle when we arrived. On mention to the concierge, the maintenance man arrived in 5 minutes with toolbox in hand and in another 5 minutes he had it fixed. Yay! Five stars to that guy! Bad news: my wife and I had a couples massage and were charged double the price quoted to me. I felt ripped off. That marred a wonderful stay. So only four stars.

The room was clean. Nothing special, similar to what you find in an USA city hotel. The breakfast was extra special. If you can't find something to eat then you don't like breakfast. The hotel validated the parking ticket for the garage below the hotel. The parking garage included about a dozen spots to charge an EV.

Nice stay

We enjoyed our stay here. We stayed in a suite with the extra beds for our kids. It was clean and comfortable. The pool was great. 15 min walk to the old town of Coimbra was the only drawback. Also, limited food options at the property and immediate surroundings on a Sunday We would stay again though

Great place for a family visit or conference. My only complaint is thin walls, and much of the public, regardless of nationality, seems to have forgotten what it means to stay in a shared space while speaking in hushed tones. The people who work here are caring and kind, but hotel guests need some training.

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!
