Top Coimbra University Hotel Reviews

Zero Box Lodge Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable bed. Quiet dark room. Good opportunity to catch up on sleep. Nice bathroom. Nice terrace and lounge to hang out. Storage lockers. Restaurant. Good value."

Hotel Mondego

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotel experiences ever! The breakfast was wonderful and the location perfect for us. While the property was lovely, the entire staff was welcoming and beyond helpful. The airline lost my luggage and when I was having no luck in getting them to follow up, Marina (sp?) stepped in and took control of the situation. This was a great relief for me and allowed me to enjoy my time there without the added stress."

Entre Ruas Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was very nice, clean and also spacious. We really enjoyed the location. Check in was very smooth, you park outside the Hotel Oslo (there are parks on the left in front of the hotel) and once you have checked in you are given a pass for the parking building nearby. We really appreciated having parking! All the staff we interacted with were fantastic. As others have pointed out there is a section with stairs (about 30) on the walk to the apartment and there are no lifts/elevators in the apartment building itself, however, once we reached the building staff carried our bags up to our room. I would recommend staying here."

Vila Gale Coimbra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Praxis CBR Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a nice surprise. The rooms were fantastic with a book theme right out of a fairy tale. The staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast room was amazing with a great breakfast and they even offer afternoon tea with cake.the location was central near to shops and restaurants."

Sapientia Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable little hotel very well situated. The staff friendliness makes for a great experience."

ibis Coimbra Centro

10/10 Excellent

"Best shower i ever experienced in Europe."

Hotel Astoria

10/10 Excellent

"The location was excellent. The balcony offered a beautiful view directly over the river, which was definitely a highlight of the stay. The soundproofing could be a little better, but overall it was a lovely place to stay."

SOPHIA STUDIOS

8/10 Good

"Great location. Room is very modern with a full kitchen. Comfortable firm mattress. Many restaurants and shopping just steps away on the flatter areas near the river. Bus stop right around the corner that goes to the train station in 10 minutes. Very safe area. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. In the flat part of the city so no hills to climb to get to the property (much of the city is hilly). Daily housekeeping if desired. Bank with ATM right on the corner. Lots of hot water and the most water pressure we’ve ever had at a hotel. Ask for a room away from the noise of the street (but largest rooms face the street). Not enough electrical outlets for lamps and charging devices you bring. No elevator. Uber drivers said they could not drive down the street to pick us up so we never figured out the best place to catch Uber near the property. Apparently only buses and service vehicles allowed on the hotel street. Police station right around the corner. Police presence almost always monitoring the vehicle traffic at the corner"
