Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Astoria

A very good base for exploring Coimbra and nearby. Elegant breakfast room. A character place

This hotel has so much faded glory. Well located, easy parking.

Old but quaint

Location was excellent although a bit noisy beside the buses. Rooms were large and comfortable. Breakfast was okay but food stations ran out from time to time.

Excellent front staff personnel. However hotel breakfast buffet this time was cold: eggs, bacon, sausage, and cofee.

Unique old world hotel. Perfect locations to transportations and the old city . Nice to have breakfast included.

I was stunned to learn that there is no Internet in the rooms. The hotel has plenty of old-fashioned charm and should stay that way. But since it accepted electricity, it could also accept Internet in the rooms.

Great location. No parking. Ok breakfast. Old hotel showing its age. Self-serve honour bar. Awkward shower handle. Glad only there one night.

Classic old hotel

Great old style hotel maintained well; very helpful staff; fantastic location and delicious breakfast.

Parking is a few blocks away from hotel. Great location. Great restaurants very close. Very old but quaint.

Beautiful and elegant antique hotel. Everything they kept original. It is like you are walking on a 1930 movie. Very elegant and charming. The elevator is very unique and gives you the vintage feeling of the time. Although, I guess… even the carpet is original… this vintage hotel is so wonderful, but they do need new carpets asap (the old carpet gives the hotel a cheap, weird vibe). They need to figure out how to incorporate a new carpet with an antique style. Bedroom was ok beautiful decorated with vintage furniture, bed was very comfortable. They do not have a huge balcony, but quite nice to have the Mondego River view (keep in mind that the view in the pictures is better, in the real life view, the hotel has plenty of bus stops in front of it, and unfortunately they were having construction when we were there - noisy and dusty). Breakfast was poor in quality and options; fruits were not cut; coffee was terrible, not a gluten free friendly place. Hotel is very close to many coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and pharmacies. Overall this is a nice vintage hotel budget friendly in a very central location for travelers who are visiting the city for a couple days.

Old world. Needs modernization

If your looking for modern conveniences this is not the hotel for you, but if you want 1920s charm, this is 5*. No fridge, coffee, satellite TV, but great charm.and a pleasant breakfast. Very friendly staff, old carpets and I think it's great.

Probably the most beautiful example of art Nouveau I have ever seen. I’m grateful that they have not demolished or changed the structure, the furniture, or the detail.

Stayed at 5 hotels during my trip in Portugal and this one is by far the worst hotel. Pros: - Nice receptionist that helped us refill our water in the middle of the night - Cool elevator - Free breakfast and was actually decent. Had drinks, eggs, and lots of protein choices Cons: - Very run down and old building/room - Water pressure was super weak - Horrible wifi connection - Musty carpets Would not stay again personally

Staff was great

Located in the centre of all tourism points

100+ year old hotel that they have tried to preserve close to it’s original character. Obviously it wont have modern features and that’s fine with me. I only gave this three stars not because of the age but because of the hardness of the bed and issues with the cooling/fan. Cooling issues were resolved quickly (thank you!). Bed hardness was not (until I could get back to my chiropractor). The breakfast was very nice (European), but it was the same every day. Some variety would be nice. Staff were mostly friendly and accommodating.

Great service friendly staff and a great location for a nights stay. Charming art deco hotel, a little tired but very original. I would stay again. Internet seemed to only work in the lobby.
