Hotel muito charmoso com pessoal muito atencioso
Pros:

O hotel está situado ao lado da Universidade de Coimbra. É perfeito para quem quer visitar a universidade e a Biblioteca Joanina e a parte histórica da cidade. Tem um rooftop com uma vista espectacular sobre a cidade e o rio Mondego. O hotel, sendo um Boutique Hotel, tem uma série de atenções para com os hóspedes. Fomos recebidos com um welcome drink: ou um sumo de abacaxi ou um Porto, acompanhado de um mini pastel de nata. Há águas aromatizadas à entrada. Ficámos no quarto denominado "Luís de Camões" que é muito confortável e tem Kitchenette. O pequeno almoço é variado e de boa qualidade. O pessoal é muito atencioso e agradável.

Cons:

Gostei de tudo.
