A lovely stay in a very interesting and historical city. The hotel was great too.
Pros:

It was a boutique hotel with a lovely restaurant with inside and outside options. The rooms were comfortable, clean and best of all there was a lift! The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was good too. We would stay here again.

Cons:

The location was a bit further out of town than expected, but we were able to see the sights easily either by taxi or walking.

Ein Tag in Coimbra

Sehr freundliches Personal. Sehr gute Lage. Das Abendessen im Hotel sehr zu empfehlen!

Peaceful low key luxuary
Pros:

The hotel is in a very peaceful area, with a large internal dining space shaded by a large walnut tree. The staff are super helpful. The breakfast is a wide ranging buffet. Our room was a wonderful large two floored affair. Would highly recommend this hotel. Note: it is located in the upper town, so requires a climb from the lower town.

Cons:

The kitchen could have been better equipped.

Pros:

Personal molt amable i predisposat a ajudar.

Cons:

La ubicació és el punt més fluix: és massa allunyat del centre i l’accés amb vehicle és complicat, tant per arribar-hi com per sortir-ne. A més, està situat en una zona bastant deprimida de la ciutat. També és poc pràctic per a l’equipatge: l’accés a l’hotel —i a algunes habitacions— no és gens còmode. En concret, hi ha dos apartaments dins l’hotel, que jo conegui, amb mala accessibilitat i poc confort.
