My wife loved the property. The lobby as you enter from the street is very unique and interesting. It had a nice kitchenette on the main floor. The location is central to the tourist area of Coimbra. Overall it was a nice stay.

Great location. Very large room. Staff were super helpful with AC problem. You will not regret booking this hotel. If you have mobility issues, you may struggle getting your luggage down the street since its a pedestrian only street.

The guesthouse was in a great location in the Old Town. It had an interesting lobby with character and the rooms were lovely. They offered a small area for self service of coffee and muffins off the lobby. The owner/manager was very friendly and helpful. Walking score was exceptional. Would highly recommend!

Thank you/obrigado! for your hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay! We were very tired when arrived. My husband was able to get a good night sleep. He did not sleep at all at the previous hotel. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. When I booked the guesthouse I was doubting that it was really as nice as it looked from the pictures (We’ve been burned in the past) It is!!

The Pharmacia is an excellent hotel in a nice location to tour Coimbra. All instructions were helpful as I arrived later in the evening. My room was much bigger than I expected and was very comfortable. Juan was very god at helping me with questions and he walked me to the Coimbra B train station bus.

This was a beautifully restored building. Modern rooms with terrific amenities nestled in an elegantly restored apothecary on one of the main pedestrian streets in Coimbra. Would return to this place again in a heartbeat!

This was an excellent property. Centrally located. Clean and comfortable. Only negative is we couldn't figure out how to work the A/C remote and the staff didn't know either. But I would definitely stay here again.

This is a beautiful and unique place. The location is amazing. They have done a fabulous job rebuilding this place - keeping the old and incorporating just enough new. The character is still here for sure. Location is amazing. I just loved staying here!! Highly recommend!! Just a lovely boutique hotel!!

Great location ! Clean and the ambiance is truly amazing , brings you back to the history of Coimbra. We we’re grateful to meet the owner who gave us some history of the building. Highly recommend staying there, we will be back! From Canada

Very pleasant and convenient place to stay and quiet at night as no traffic on the street outside (a pedestrian zone). The only thing I wasn’t keen on was my single bed which didn’t have bedsteads and as nit against a wall so the pillows kept falling on the floor

This is an excellently located property, So perfect for a visit to the Coimbra University which is just up the very steep street. We loved this historical hotel. All check in is done virtually so please, read the instructions they send you before arrival all the information is there and it is simple and accurate. They give you a code both for the front door and for your room. The room looked onto the beatiful main street, and walking around town was very easy. climbing to the University can be challenging but so worth it and the center of town is just steps from the hotel. Take advantage of the one-hour city tour 'train' that starts on the center square of the University.

Great location and interesting property history. The room was clean with the exception of the main rug being stained. The toilet seat was askew and flimsy. The bedside lamp was unstable and inexpensive. So much is going for this property. With a little upgrade on room interiors and details we would rate it 5 stars.
