Concept is boutique style apartments . Air conditioning didn’t work it was 82 degrees during the day . Luckily it was 70 at night in Coimbra . Matress was hard and room was small and cramped . Felt like a small cabin on a cruise ship . Area was very walkable and central . The breakfast was continental. The property was nice on the lobby and grounds but not worth the price( high season)

Beautiful place. Lots of unique decor. Shower was good, bed was a little soft for us. My parents' room struggled to stay cool. It is next to a prison, just fyi. It did not bother us. Actually we felt a bit safer because of this, but we were surprised. Parking on the street was easy and free. No elevator so be ready to climb some stairs. Pictures on the website showed suspended beds and rooms. We booked two rooms and did not get one of these rooms, even with the room of 3 people. They just scooted an extra bed in with the main bed. So it was tight quarters. I had thought we would get a separate sleeping area from our daughter. It was fine, but I thought I was getting a 2 different bed areas. Overall, very nice place and would stay again if it were just 2 of us.

We checked in at 8:30pm, there is only 2 girls in the reception. It was very difficult to understand their instruction. Finally, We can not enter the hotel batter finishing dinner by their instruction.

Whilst this hotel is in an undoubtedly beautiful building, it’s seems a little vacant, it’s probably to do with the ongoing pandemic but the rooms were a little marked, a few cobwebs and an empty dining area (breakfast must be pre booked)

Lovely accommodation option in Coimbra
I was in Coimbra for a conference and chose this place because it was walkable to the conference venue. It is about a 5-minute walk from the botanical gardens and another 5-10 minutes uphill to the main university site. The hotel is very well kept and comfortable, with decent in-room amenities. Given that it's advertised as having a kitchenette, I think that a kettle, mugs, and tea bags should be added into the rooms' small fridge, microwave, sink, and limited dishes/glasses/cutlery. The breakfast was really great, far beyond what I would expect at a continental breakfast, with hard boiled eggs, yogurts, meats and cheeses, a selection of breaks and spreads, fresh fruit, tomatoes and olives, cereals, juices, and a choice of espresso drinks, American coffee, and teas. Staff were so friendly and helpful! There are a few local eating options within a 10-minute walk (downhill to Praca da Republica, uphill back). There is no lift and, regardless of which floor you stay on, there are stairs. Located in an older building, rooms and corridors in this hotel have limited sound-proofing. Aside from any late-night noise from hotel guests, the students who give Coimbra so much energy also boost its late-night noise, which can go into the morning. I found ear plugs necessary on some nights!

We didn't get to stay in the main area. The 2nd guesthouse was nice but very loud area and the beds were not good. Lumpy and they made noises everytime you moved

Conveniently located, near University
Super place. Well appointed, fridge, clean, great shower. Pulling out the 3rd bed required moving several small pieces of furniture but was not a burden. Nice rooftop outside sitting area. Very secure. Parking not provided but available nearby and much easier to find later in the day.

We thought the place was lovely. Great staff, breakfast was good, location was good, etc. No parking, but never had problems with finding a spot on the street (staff said 2-6 is the hardest time to find a spot, FYI). Being uphill a bit wasn’t a problem - little quieter, and the walk / climb really isn’t bad at all. Neighborhood has beautiful houses.
