    We knew in advance parking was scarce being in the historic centre, we received two emails saying to ring the hotel to check on our way, we rang 5 mins before we arrived, receptionist said no spaces outside hotel, we parked a distance away then arrived to find two spaces out the front, when my husband pointed this out the two people at the desk said they haven't time to look at the road to see if there are spaces. Thats fine, in that case don't send an email asking to ring and don't say there are no spaces because you haven't time to check. Another time I asked for a bottle of water for the room, I'd seen other guests taking them from the bar area, was told no, was passed over to another member who said it was complicated to replace the water in the room. I'm guessing it's just refilled from the tap which I did myself. Again, that's fine, but just say so. Didn't warm to the attitude of the staff

    Lovely hotel, great location for seeing the university and library. Be prepared there is a steep walk to the centre, this wasn't an issue for us but may be for some people.

    Breakfast was nicely presented but I wish there were more food options. But not a dealbreaker, we had a lovely stay and would recommend the hotel for Coimbra.

    We only stayed one night but loved it. The hotel upgraded us from a double room to the Superior Apartment, which felt luxurious with so much space, high ceilings, multiple exposures drenched in sunlight. The hotel is located on the top of the hill, which makes it convenient to visit the university. The common areas are beautiful and modern, with a lot of outdoor areas.

    It is definetely hard to park a car nearby. It is a hilly city full of narrow streets, and the hotel is on the top of a hill. We were lucky to have a parking spot in front of the hotel because we arrived on a sunday night, but we imagine that during weekdays (especially during daytime) it will be tough to park nearby.

    It is very close to the university, so a lot of the tourist attractions are nearby. The rooftop and our room had a great view of the city. Our room was clean and spacious.

    My teenage daughter and I shared a room at this hotel - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful, and every part of our stay was just delightful. We were offered a welcome drink and snack, and then shown to our room. The room was beautiful and very thoughtfully designed, with great lighting (and a welcome note!). My daughter was very touched when 2 tiny cookies and a bed time story were delivered to the room. The location of this hotel is perfect for exploring the historical centre and the treasures of the University.
