This is a hotel of understated grandeur both in its older and more modern buildings. The setting , historically at the site of a romantic legend as well as actually within superb gardens are incomparable. The location, a 10 minute walk to the city centre is perfect. The staff are the most courteous and helpful you could find. The meals in the Bistro restaurant were of high quality and good value, served in this tranquil and most tastefully decorated suite of rooms, like a club or library. The extravagant breakfasts are served in a patio dining area beside the Romantic Garden, where the ducks make their ablutions in the tree-shaded pond as you drink your coffee. The weather was beautiful so the indoor pool was not used but looked to be a pleasant , if relatively small facility, within the spa area. The large, classically rectangular outdoor pool with ample, fresh and comfortable loungers, parasols and a discreet bar was a lovely spot after city tours of a late afternoon. (Don't miss the churches or museums, even a short visit is rewarding). The fascinating history of the place is so intimately bound-up with the story of this city as to make this a rare chance to live in the event. The wealth of art, literature and guidance as to the 14th century tragedy of D.Pedro and D. Inez available on site made for easy appreciation of the facts and legends relating to this aspect of Coimbra's history. As for the bigger historical picture, the staff were very happy and well able to advise on how to make the most of a 2 day visit.

FAQs about hotels in Coimbra

A Seat of Learning and Royalty

Portugal’s medieval capital, and a pioneer of fado music alongside its modern counterpart Lisbon, Coimbra is a vibrant university city with a good helping of historic sights.

The university is the country’s oldest and its attractive buildings cover a small hill overlooking the Mondego River. The institution has an excellent science museum, the ornate Joanina Library, and one of the world’s oldest botanical gardens which contributes to the lush landscape.

The midweek nightlife in the city’s bars and restaurants is popular with students, while shopping options range from the stores of the CoimbraShopping complex to smaller boutiques on cobbled streets in the historic Baixa district.

The medieval centre houses the museum of Coimbran sculptor Machado de Castro and the Old Cathedral, begun under the reign of the first Portuguese King, Afonso Henriques. He is buried in Santa Cruz Monastery, while the tomb of a later queen – Elizabeth of Aragon – is in the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova. She founded this hilltop convent to replace flood-prone Santa Clara-a-Velha below. Between them is Portugal dos Pequenitos where Portugal’s main monuments are reproduced in miniature.

Nearby is Quinta das Lágrimas, a 19th-century mansion that is now a luxury hotel on Booking.com. Also available are cheap hostels and guest houses near the 2 main train stations.

This modern city on an old historical site

This modern city on an old historical site has much to offer for it's size of 140k pop. A prestigious University, a clean and beautiful river, upscale retail shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and UNESCO World Heritage sites to visit. Queen Isabel/Saint Elizabeth might like what they've done with the place. All the quality pace of Porto and Lisbon w/o the Urban pressure.

The city is based on simple tourism and education due to the presence of the University of Coimbra. The landlords there refuse to rent to anyone but students. They refuse to grant leases to tenants, even though this is against the law.

Coimbra as a former capital, it’s full of historic buildings and fascinating attractions. The University of Coimbra is a highlight, especially its breathtaking library.

Coimbra is a very nice town.

Coimbra is a very nice town. And you can go by train to Aveiro, another pleasant city, about one hour from Coimbra. And with a taxi or uber you can reach Conimbriga, old roman ruins (the best in the Iberic Peninsula), very interesting place.

After Porto and then Lisbon we found Coimbra to be a welcome relief from the tourist hustle and bustle. Its a lovely town, quieter than the bigger cities but with some great sites. The University Library is spectacular as is the Cathedrals and the old town is very interesting wandering around. Definately worth the visit and turned out to be the highlight of our trip.

This is a small family run hotel in a quiet back street. You can drive down the road but the space outside the hotel is very limited. We parked on the main road outside the Oslo Hotel (it's only meant for guests of that hotel but they let us stay for 10 minutes) and we picked up the parking card for the big underground car park. The location is excellent - walking distance to pretty much everything you want to visit. The staff are really friendly and attentive. Rooms are clean, air con is good.

Appartment is located in the beautufull old center of Coimbra, in vicinity there are many cafes and restaurants and it is very easy to reach the University buildings from there. App is big enough, comfortable, clean and very nicely decorated, great view from the small balcony and hidden garden on the back side. I understand the same owner also runs nearby hotel Oslo, so you check in in the hotel and you can also store luggage there if needed. All personel is very kind and helpfull!

We had a really great view on the city center and the room was really spacious. At breakfast they served fresh and ripe fruits, which I love in Portugal. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. Car parking was extra for €12,50 per 24h in a closeby garage. The hotel is central and everything in the city center is within walking distance.

Good location for a family as quiet and just round the corner from a supermarket. For kids it was a little way away from the centre of Coimbra, although ideally located for Portugal dos Pequenitos (Portugal for the Little Ones) which our children could have spent all day at. Really good value for the money and served us well
