Staff were very helpful, including not only ordering us a taxi but also walking us to the meeting point (as the guesthouse is on a pedestrianised road) and waiting with us to check we got it.

Top Water Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Oslo

10/10 Excellent

"Room was small but perfectly fine and clean. The staff was very helpful with our questions, and booked an evening of fado for us as well. The restaurant/bar had a great view. Food was also very good."

Hotel Mondego

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff, very helpful. Convenient location."

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"

Quinta Das Lagrimas

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful hotel and gardens. Set away from the noisy city in a quiet area. Dinner was fabulous and worthy of a Michelin star"

Hotel Astoria

10/10 Excellent

"A well placed hotel for visiting the city. Lovely art deco designs are everywhere, and the hotel has real character. Arriving during a yellow warning heatwave, the air conditioning in the room made for a pleasant night’s sleep. Breakfast was quiet varied, with a hot food option in the form of bacon and eggs. The real highlight was the help we received from the hotel staff. They were engaging, and able to answer our queries about where places were, and how to get about using the public transport in and around the city. Certainly worth staying here."

Solar Antigo Luxury Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a 17th century building and the room was really cool. There’s a big round style jetted tub in the room. That was also really nice after a long day of walking. My favorite part was breakfast brought to our room in a big basket."

Praxis CBR Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Fabulous river view in an deluxe room (room 6) on floor 2 . Nice modern room with interesting features. If you have an early start, beware that breakfast is from 8.00am, and we had to order a breakfast box, which isn’t ideal; l have fed back that breakfast should start earlier from 6.30am for a continental style. Good location and next to the old town and main street"

Zero Box Lodge Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and value. Very small room but functional. Nice AC and water pressure."

R3 Service Five Senses in Coimbra

"Quiet spot. Nice bathroom and bathroom. Great breakfast"
