Top Velha Universidade Hotel Reviews

Hotel Oslo

10/10 Excellent

"Room was small but perfectly fine and clean. The staff was very helpful with our questions, and booked an evening of fado for us as well. The restaurant/bar had a great view. Food was also very good."

ibis Coimbra Centro

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful and the room was clean and comfortable. Parking was a big plus and the location couldn’t have been better."

Hotel Mondego

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff, very helpful. Convenient location."

Quinta Das Lagrimas

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful hotel and gardens. Set away from the noisy city in a quiet area. Dinner was fabulous and worthy of a Michelin star"

Hotel Astoria

10/10 Excellent

"A well placed hotel for visiting the city. Lovely art deco designs are everywhere, and the hotel has real character. Arriving during a yellow warning heatwave, the air conditioning in the room made for a pleasant night’s sleep. Breakfast was quiet varied, with a hot food option in the form of bacon and eggs. 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 in and around the city. Certainly worth staying here."

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."

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"

Pharmacia Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, very comfortable, full of history and charm. Also brilliantly located!"
