Room was very small and we had to take a steep stair to get to the bedroom part of the room.

Property is located in the old part of the city which can be charming. However, it is near the university and the students are young people who party very loud, particularly on Tuesday nights and Thursday nights when they don’t have class the next day.
Really quirky hotel with must see rooms, everyone is unique

Terrible parking. Narrow streets to get to hotel. Had to park far away and walk up a steep hill with our s Room and bathroom was very small. Spiral staircase to bedroom was so narrow we left our suitcase downstairs and had to walk up and down the stairs with our clothes and toiletries to access the bathroom. Furniture was tacky and outdated. Don’t recommend this hotel to anyone older than 30. Don’t stay here if you have mobility issues. Breakfast basket that was served was good. Staff was friendly and nice.
I stayed in suite 66 and it was super romantic, very cool place to stay. Check in was super easy once I found the right door! It’s 15 sometimes the door is closed so hard to tell. Welcome cocktail and snack are amazing, I’m suite water, drinks all free make this place just an absolute gem. Highly recommend.
It is right next to the university so I could walk. I was able to find parking nearby. Parking requires coins if you don’t use their parking app or MBWay. It is free at night.
The room is just gorgeous, perfectly decorated for Valentine’s 😄 stone walls, spacious shower, a little window for the city lights and a niche to snuggle. Very cozy and elegant space.
The best part is the service! Upon arrival I was offered sparkling wine and cheese. And next morning a beautiful basket of breakfast was delivered to my room on time. I couldn’t finish all the foods myself. The stay was a highlight during my trip. I would highly recommend!
Unique cute little hotel. Our room was in a separate house. The jacuzzi tub is huge & kind of a waste of space. Would be better off to just have a couch & some seating. Metal circular stairs to get to bedroom. If you have mobility issues not the place for you. Breakfast in basket to room was great. Also beer & sparkling wine at check in was appreciated. All in all I would recommend if you want a clean stay in a budget boutique like hotel for a couple of nights.
Hotel very small, but rooms beautiful. Fabulous breakfast delivered to room at your time request. SKINNY cave for toilet, tough for us plus size Americans!! No dinner available, but plenty of options close by if I wanted to venture out. Staff was A . Will go again.
Everything is excellent. Close to every hot tourist spots. Service is top of our trip.

Quirky, fun experience
It seemed like a good idea to stay in this over the top quirky hotel n the old city. It was a fascina experience but our room was a small two story house in the old city. It had a spiral staircase and not much space to put things. Everything was sweated in. The circular jacuzzi took up most of downstairs. There were plumbing issues which they were resolving.
It was a great experience but not exactly convenient. I guess you have to fire go convenience for the experience.

The room furnishings are quite unique - very palace-like opulent. Breakfast was included and it was awesome. It was very nice to get a welcome drink. Location is very close to the university. Parking is not available at the hotel site. We had to park in one of the university's parking lots. Room was somewhat claustrophobic, tiny bedroom and a huge jacuzzi under the bedroom. We would rather have a decent table instead.
The people: staff went out of thruway to accommodate us. Nice to know staff who catered to the guest’s need.
Thank you Ana, Juliana and the conceir who brought our luggage down the hill.
It’s a unique and special property but it is located down an alley without signs on the street making it challenging to find at night! If you are visiting the university it’s a perfect location.
What an amazing hotel. Staff and hotel were wonderful. Extremely clean and cozy room. Amazing breakfast delivered to your room every morning. Wish all hotels were this great.

Pros - near Coimbre U and city center
Cons- room 66 was terrible. Too small to open suitcases. Mold in the bathroom. No reception when we left. Breakfast was poor. There are probably nicer rooms, but 66 was awful
Friendly staff. Great breakfast delivered to your room. Spacious room with Jacuzzi.
A little tricky to find and on road parking. Coimbra is built on hills, so bring hiking shoes. The (free) botanical gardens (close to hotel) are in need of some maintenance.
From check in to check out, they were so nice abd accommodating. But the most impressive part is the decor! Moorish? Morrocan? Graceland? tufted velvet, gold tiled walls, black laquer, private hot tub, breakfast in our room...all was over the top and yet reasonably priced
We had a great time!

Indeed very artsy! Beautiful funky decor - each room is unique. Service is awesome! Have to be in shape as it is on a steep hill and some of the rooms up flights of stairs. But Coimbra in general is super hilly - not for the physically challenged.
This is an unbelievable hotel with amazing staff in an awesome location. The room was incredibly good. I got my room with a jacuzzi and gave us an amazing experience. Super helpful and polite staff and the location is super close to every thing and the historical sites
This is a cool, funky property made up of multiple converted 200-300 year old row homes on a very steeply inclined street near Coimbra University. The straight used to be one of the main streets during the walled castle days. We absolutely loved the staff and accommodations. Having a jacuzzi was an unexpected bonus. BTW, the place is not recommemded for people who are not in decent shape. It takes work to get to and from. Otherwise, we LOVED it!
