Great location high on the hill just a short walk to the college & the famous library. Breakfast brought to your room in baskets every morning was a nice treat.

Pros:

The staff who checked us in was fantastic. The room was small, which is to be expected, but the location was great. The staff served us breakfast in our room, which was nice. Overall a wonderful place.

Didn’t happen
Pros:

It’s impossible to rate our stay because the hotel had to cancel due to an issue. The surprising part is you are asking me to rate a stay that didn’t exist. I tried to cancel the booking through you but experienced nothing but incompetence from your company. Not the hotels fault

Great place, but not for mobility impaired
Pros:

The place is 2-3 small townhouses in a cute cobblestone road near the university. The sign of the hotel blends with the facade , therefore we were not able to see it right away. The check in process was seamless. Our room was across the street on a renovated, 2 story room with jacuzzi. Breakfast is served in your room. The fridge did not work. If you need anything from the front desk you can message through WhatsApp but do not expect fast service. As the hotel is high in the hill, you need to walk downhill ( and then back up) if you want to go by the river. I would stay again.

We stayed in this beautiful place in July and were amazed how clean and beautiful this place is. Breakfast was served in the cute baskets and it was delicious. Lady who works at front was so friendly and nice. We are definitely coming back and we would recommend this place from our heart….Irena and Pred with kids

Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at Solar Antigo! The staff were very attentive and helpful. The hotel is in a central location, being both close to the university and close to the city center. The rooms were nicely designed, albeit not the best when it comes to functionality. The shower is right beside the bed, and since it’s see through you can always see the toilet. It’s not great when it comes to privacy in that regard. Beyond that, however, this was a great property, and we’d stay again!

Luxurious
Pros:

Our Room was luxurious. Staff extremely helpful. Very nice breakfast. A little hard to find. I dont recommend to use Rua dos Apostolos because very steep and narrow road. Go by way of Rua Padre Antonio Vieria which is a main road and intersects Rua dos Apostolos. Parking is on the street right nearby if you are lucky.

Place is at very odd location. Parking is not feasible. It’s on a slope steep hills, place is so small, bathroom where you cannot extend your arms. Staff is definitely 5 plus. Very helpful but facility I would not recommend others.

Adorable small hotel.
Pros:

Amazing place up on a hill very near the university. The staff was super helpful with everything from helping us find parking to recommending restaurants where we had our best meals in Portugal.
