Top Coimbra City Centre Hotel Reviews

Sapientia Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome boutique hotel next to the University of Coimbra. The decor followed the theme of literature and knowledge. The courtyard was great. Nice restaurant and breakfast buffet. Only note is that the rooms have 3 steps up from the sitting area to the bed, so not for the mobility impaired. Rooms are spacious, have a kitchenette in the room, and awesome views of the city."

Zero Box Lodge Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff and clean, no frills, quiet property with an outstanding restaurant. Honestly, I was shocked when I entered my room. No windows, basically a box with a door….but let me tell you….the mattress and pillows were so comfortable. The pillows were divine. The shower water pressure is out of this world and so nice. Hot water came out immediately, so no waiting. It was so nice and clean and the staff made my stay so wonderful, including the restaurant staff. I was dubious at first, but I fell in love with this place. It’s right on the river, next to an amazing street that has brilliant restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, and shops. There was dancing, parades, demonstrations, and even a winning football team getting a police escort in the three days I spent there. Big shout out to Margarita and Artur in the main office and Tiago in the restaurant. I loved Coimbra so much and you all made me love it more. Thank you. I will be forever grateful for all you did and I hope to see you all again. Much love. Obrigado."

Coimbra Vintage Lofts

4/10 Poor

"Property located at unmarked location down an alley, numeric keypad entrance. We received no check-in instructions or keycode in advance . We phoned the number listed to discover that one needed to check in at the front desk of the nearby Hotel Oslo. Anyone's guess why Expedia or the property didn't simply advise us of this in advance The room itself was on two floors, up a steep flight of stairs to get to the first of the 2 floors (no elevator, which is not uncommon in Europe though). The bed was located up a steep set of spiral stairs. Almost no sound insulation with nearby rooms. Even though we were told at check-in that there was a strict "no parties after 10pm" rule, this helped little as we could hear everything being said by our neighbours who were up late talking. And we heard street noises as well. If booking this hotel, you might get lucky but we recommend bringing ear plugs. Heating/AC: the HVAC unit, a heat pump, is located high in the room near the 2nd floor bedroom, so it will probably do a good job on hot evenings. But when it is cold outside, the bedroom will be toasty but the downstairs (kitchen, dining area, sofa and, most importantly, the unheated bathroom) will be cold. Very small mini fridge, no temp control (our milk froze). 2 burner hotplate (no ind. lights) + kettle. TV high on wall not really usable."

Hotel Oslo

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great base for a few days in Coimbra, which is a must-see in between Porto and Lisbon. Our room was comfortable with great beds and a view of the charming tile-roofed hills. The shower was very tiny and could be challenging for large people but it worked fine. The best thing about the Hotel Oslo is the rooftop bar with a stunning view of the town. The 5th floor breakfast area also has an excellent view. The breakfast was good, with a nice variety of Portuguese specialties. The Hotel Oslo is a quick Uber ride from the train station and an easy (hilly) walk to the charming shopping street and university."

Solar Antigo Luxury Coimbra

8/10 Good

"We had a two night stay at the Solar Antigo Coimbra. The Pros about the property are: unique accomodations, very nice staff & nice breakfast brought to your room each morning. The cons: The room (at least we the one we got on the main level) was very small, there is no privacy between the shower, toilet and the rest of the room. Our room was right beside reception and when i mean right beside, I mean when we opened our door new guests checking in were right there blocking our doorway. We were also bothered by guests checking in late or stopping to chat with the person at the front desk who would have long & loud conversations right outside our door at 10:30pm. The reception closes at 11 so this wasn't a problem after that. It was an experience, but I'm not sure I would do it again."

CBR Boutique Hotel - Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"Very cool hotel, the design is amazing, based on the ancient jeanine library. Our room over looked the river and was lovely & spacious. Breakfast was good quality and they provide complimentary tea & coffee with snacks from 3pm to midday, which was great, they have a nice rooftop seating are to relax too. Location is excellent for exploring Coimbra old town. "
