Location of this hotel was the best part - right on the main street, close to everything, and easy to get to. The main lobby was unique and looked the old pharmacy it used to be and the rooftop patio was nice place to take pictures and spend some time. The room itself was comfortable, though could have used some renovations. While the shower was larger than other hotels we stayed at in Portugal, the sealant could have be replaced as it was a bit grungy. The room was at the back of the building and on the 4th floor so it was quiet, except for we could hear the people in the room above us walking around. Staff were responsive online and let us check in an hour early, which was appreciated. Still good value for money though.

This historic building is in a perfect location to visit Coimbra. The amenities are sparse so if location is more important than luxury then this is the place for you.

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.

The overnight stay at Pharmacia Guesthouse was a great find. I was very impressed that I cane across this location when I visited Coimbra. Very nicely located in the center of the Main Street. The guesthouse was very safe, clean, spacious and easy access to the city. The room was large enough to relax, Juan was great with details for dinner. Highly recommended! This was our best stay in Portugal.

The guesthouse was in a great location in the Old Town. It had an interesting lobby with character and the rooms were lovely. They offered a small area for self service of coffee and muffins off the lobby. The owner/manager was very friendly and helpful. Walking score was exceptional. Would highly recommend!

A Wonderful Stay in Coimbra
The room was very comfortable and clean. The location was great. João was there to greet us at check in and was very helpful throughout our stay. He's a tremendous asset to the hotel. We briefly met the owner when he came one afternoon and we wish him well in his endeavour. I'd definitely stay there again.

Great location. Very large room. Staff were super helpful with AC problem. You will not regret booking this hotel. If you have mobility issues, you may struggle getting your luggage down the street since its a pedestrian only street.

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.
