ibis Coimbra Centro

8/10 Good

"good location.Good price,SPOTLESS."

Bussaco Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were privileged to stay in this palace. When driving up to the building you get a feeling for the grandure, but on entering the reception it's jaw droppingly impressive. The staff were very helpful and happy to share their knowledge of the history of the building. The breakfast was excellent. The woodland grounds are beautiful, we spent a day exploring with a picnic (you have to be fit, it's very steep in places) The room was clean and functional but not at all luxurious. Come to this property for the amazing architecture and beauty of the forest, not for the room."

NH Coimbra Dona Inês

10/10 Excellent

"Très bel endroit où rester à coimbra."

Coimbra Vintage Lofts

10/10 Excellent

"It’s off the main road in a small back alley. Pretty easy to locate. You do have to pay for parking if you want to be near the lifts. It is within walking distance to most attractions"

Sapientia Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect hotel, comfortable beds, amazing location."

SOPHIA STUDIOS

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! So close to everything in downtown area. Of course you need to walk up the hill to the university. Place was clean and nicely renovated. Air conditioning is much appreciated. The plugs in the kitchen are tricky to reach, and it’s not very soundproof between units / with the staircase, but otherwise a wonderful place to stay in Coimbra."

Hotel Astoria

10/10 Excellent

"Where do we start. This was a fabulous hotel. Everything we expected and hoped for. Sonia looked after us from the moment we arrived and we could not have wished for a better host. If you want a modern hotel with square rooms and satellite TV, this is not the place for you. Keeping the style of its initial build 100 years ago makes this place very special from the opulence of the residents lounge, the ship like dining room and the rooms which are old but well cared for. We were fortunate to have a room facing the river with large balcony doors and air conditioning. The breakfast was exceptional. We dropped one star on the amenities only because it would have been nice to have a bar. To be fair there is an honesty bar but its not the same. Deserves all 5 stars overall and we re already looking at dates to return."

Stay Hotel Coimbra Centro

8/10 Good

Hotel Oslo
