"A well placed hotel for visiting the city. Lovely art deco designs are everywhere, and the hotel has real character.

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...

Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Hotel Mondego

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed for one night. Everything was as expected. Breakfast had lots of options. Beds were clean and confortable. Very well situated. A straight walk from bus ration, many restaurants around and closed to attractions,"

Hotel Oslo

8/10 Good

"Staff were helpful and friendly. We had free parking which was a bonus! We enjoyed the roof top terrace. The room had good amenities but was starting to show some age."

Quinta Das Lagrimas

8/10 Good

"The hotel is easy to find and has a lot of car parking available. My stay was relatively short so I was unable to fully explore the grounds, facilities and amenities. This is an older property which could benefit from some updating and refurbishment. However, my room size was very large, the bed comfortable and bathroom very spacious. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, even escorting me to my room. The breakfast buffet was extensive and impressive but I did not have an opportunity to eat an evening meal in the restaurant. This hotel is a 25 minute walk into the centre of Coimbra but I did not find this a problem. Overall, this is a superior hotel in Coimbra and I will have no hesitation in returning again. My colleagues chose to stay in other hotels in the centre, which were not nearly as good or comfortable, so I was pleased with my choice."

Hotel Astoria

10/10 Excellent

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."

Vila Gale Coimbra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay in a gorgeous place. Dinner was superb and breakfast unmatched. We highly recommend it. The location was perfect, easy walks to all the important sites."

SOPHIA STUDIOS

10/10 Excellent

"Sofia Studios was great value considering the incredible central location it has in Coimbra. It was exceptionally clean and very easy to check in to. Staff are on hand during the day and are very helpful. Our only criticism is that he bathroom is really small with almost no counter space. As well, it's a lot of stairs to the third floor! Normally that wouldn't be a factor for us - and it was completely as advertised - but my wife sprained her knee earlier in our Portugal trip. For anybody with mobility issues, try to request the first floor (and even then there's two flights of stairs)."

Bussaco Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

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"
