Pros:

Die Lage, direkt an der Universität ist super, leider aufgrund der extrem engen Gassen mit dem Auto schwer erreichbar.
Eine kleine Küche mit Geschirr, Herd, Mikrowelle und Kühlschrank stand zur Verfügung. Auch einen Kaffee konnte man bekommen.

Cons:

Leider gibt es keinen Aufzug und wir mussten die Koffer in den dritten Stock schleppen.
Die sanitären Anlagen im dritten Stock waren geschlossen und die im 1. Und 2. Stock auch nur teilweise in Takt. Leider waren sie auch sehr dreckig. Natürlich hat das nicht immer nur mit dem Reinigungspersonal, sondern auch mit den Benutzern zu tun. Auch unsere Zimmer waren nicht alle sauber. Haare im Bett und auf dem Boden.

Pros:

Da simpatia do funcionário. Da beleza do espaço, da higiene, da vista e da localização.

Cons:

Gosto cada vez mais deste porto de abrigo onde já me sinto quase em casa.

Pros:

De locatie is prachtig. Wat mij betreft op 1 van de mooiste pleintjes van Coimbra. De manager is erg aardig en denkt graag met je mee. Tip: doe een drankje op het terras voor het hotel en geniet van het uitzicht.

Prima
Pros:

Het lag perfect gelegen naast de oude kathedraal! Ook het personeel was super vriendelijk en behulpzaam

Cons:

De badkamer was best wel vies. Voelde niet alsof het regelmatig werd schoongemaakt.
Ook waren er 2 kranen waarvan de ene niet werkte en de andere niet doorliep.

Pros:

Expérience incroyable ! L'hostel est litteralement aux pieds de la vieille cathédrale, certaines chambres ont meme vue dessus. Le bâtiment est immense, très beau et bien tenu. Mais par dessus tout, le service est impeccable : tout le monde aux petits soins, et surtout le propriétaire qui s'assure que vous passiez un super séjour dans cette ville sublime ! N'hésitez pas à lui demander si vous avez besoin d'informations.
Rapport qualité/prix incroyable, bref je recommande à 100% !!

Um bom custo-benefício para estadias rápidas
Pros:

aceitar pet pra mim é primordial e já merece meu elogio a localização perfeita principalmente para quem quer aproveitar uma vez ao ano a festa medieval

Cons:

A segunda vez que fico nesse alojamento e a TV nunca funciona mesmo solicitando ajuda não resolver o problema

Pros:

Location was good. Building had old charm in to it. Bed was o.k. Kitchen was usefull.

Cons:

There was only one tap out of 3 which had water in the female bathroom sink. That one also did not drain well. I mentioned the problem to the reception, but nothing fixed.
It was also hard to get soap out of soap dispenser, either did not have soap or not working well.
The room carpet seems has not been vacumed for a while.

Pros:

Beautiful location right next to the cathedral.

Cons:

The drain was clogged and the water couldn't go down. Brushing my teeth over a sink full of dirty water left behind by the last person almost made me throw up.
