Wonderful hostel, the perfect base in Coimbra
Pros:

The hostel is super well located and the building and facilities are lovely and up to date. The air conditioning in the room was perfect and the showers actually have pressure! The kitchen is well equipped and there are nice common areas to relax at any hour

Cons:

Even after messaging to confirm, the lockers didn’t work (lock broken) but fortunately I had brought a padlock so I could lock my zips shut

Esperienza fantastica
Pros:

Posizione, accoglienza e struttura storica molto suggestiva.
Abbiamo avuto una stanza molto ampia con letto comodissimo.
Esperienza fantastica

Cons:

Su booking compaiono molte informazioni inesatte. Non c'è stata pulizia giornaliera della stanza ma questo non ha comunque comportato problemi perché gli asciugamani erano sufficienti per i due giorni della nostra permanenza.
Non c'era possibilità di fare colazione sul posto ma con una breve passeggiata si è in una via piena di pasticcerie.

Péssima
Pros:

Vidros duplos que possibilitavam o silência

Cons:

Após fazer a reserva de duas noites, quando cheguei foi-me dito que a minha reserva era para dormir num quarto partilhado num bliche. Para não perder o dinheiro que já tinha pago, tive de pagar o restante para ficar num quarto sózinha. Havia vários preços, nomeadamente, quarto sózinha com casa de banho partilhada no exterior, ou quarto sózinho com casa de banho incluida. O dono, pareceu-me muito confiante com a situação, deve ser costume isto acontecer. Situação muito desagradável. A televisão não funcionava e não havia frigorifico, como descrito na reserva, nem pequeno almoço incluido, como também descrito na reserva, O dono ainda me disse que eu estava na cidade, podia tomar o pequeno almoço onde quisesse. Serviço horível.

Pros:

Uns wurde ein sehr netter Empfang bereitet. Der Rezeptionist war sehr zuvorkommend und bot uns an, unser Gepäck bis zur Check in-Zeit in einem Raum in der Unterkunft aufzubewahren. Es ist ein sehr schönes, altes Haus. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und die Aussicht toll.

Cons:

Unser Gepäck war während der Lagerung in dem Stauraum durchsucht worden. Die Kleidung lag zum Teil auf dem Boden.
Die Gemeinschaftsküche und das Gemeinschaftsbad waren sehr dreckig.

Buona location, sistemazione deludente
Pros:

Location ottima. Staff molto amichevole

Cons:

Abbiamo ricevuto un upgrade per la suite con bagno privato ad un costo aggiuntivo. Ma:
1. La stanza non aveva finestre: il balcone affacciava una corte interna, chiusa da un soffitto di plexiglas e in cui c’era la lavanderia. Risultato, la temperatura della stanza era quasi tropicale, quando fuori c’erano 20 gradi. Impossibile dormire, se non con l’aria condizionata accesa (molto rumorosa e che sparava l’aria sul letto). In più le lavatrici sono azionate la notte.
2. Il lavandino era otturato.
3. La doccia era rotta, sia gli sportelli che il sifone.
