Absolutely loved this hotel. A mix of historic and modern design, rooms are large and comfortable. Great location, close to the University and botanical gardens. Wonderful breakfast. Joel and the restaurant staff were excellent, food was outstanding. Hotel staff could not have been more helpful and pleasant. Weather didn't permit us to use rooftop and hot tub often but thats another bonus..Would stay again

Just wonderful! The staff were friendly, location was fantastic for touring the city, breakfast was great. We enjoyed being greeted with pastel de Nata, the afternoon wine. The hotel was modern and clean. Could not have asked for a better stay in Coimbra.
