Excellent location and view, the air conditioning did not cool properly. The hotel looks old, and while we understand the intention is to be antique, there is a difference between old and truly antique.

Perfect location for tourist activities. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and very helpful. We appreciated their English language skills because our Portuguese is very limited. The hotel is of another era and transported us back in time with its old world charm, although maybe a little faded from its heyday. The many historic photos of the hotel and others in the same hotel group were fun to look at. The breakfast was VERY good with a wide selection of hot and cold options. The room included an entrance area separating the bathroom and bedroom, and were well appointed. We felt pampered. We also had a nice view of the downtown area and beyond from our room. We would definitely stay again on a return trip to Coimbra!

It’s an old time charm. Antique elevator, wooden panelled dining room, and antique furnitures. We wondered around and enjoyed the floor and old photos displayed. Reception and staff are kind and professional. Great breakfast, lush towels, hot and good flow of water. The location is great too. However, the hotel needs restoration: the carpet is really old and looks dirty, the pillows are not comfortable. But for our one night stay, we had a good rest.

Clean, wonderful. It is rather cold. We changed rooms because the heat didn’t work. It took 2 days to get warmer when we asked for an extra heater because my husband caught a cold that first night.

This is a beautiful, old, century hotel with authentic charm. The desk people (Sonia) were kind and helpful. Our room had a lovely view of the river. We could walk everywhere and really enjoyed what the city has to offer. Good value for our money.

Old furnishings, dust, town fabric. Bed hard

Staff was very friendly. Old building with no amenities.

Clean, spacious, great view, stuff were very helpful.

Lovely older hotel. If you want unique accommodation with wonderful staff and a delicious breakfast, choose this place!

Good

It is a very different hotel , old but very charming

Old Art Deco hotel attractive faded charm. Elderly plumbing Hopeless breakfast

Vintage property lovingly maintained, great breakfast buffet, friendly staff. I wish we could have stayed another night.

The room was clean but the wardrobe was run down. The carpets really need a change. There was a typical carpet smell in the hotel. The bath tub was tiny and barely space to stand in it to shower. The shower stand was broken. The breakfast was decent.

We love the building is historic but it doesn't means that the hotel as a whole should be in old conditions. This hotel needs urgently un update, smells horrible, was impossible to have a good rest there due to the smells.

Very well maintained historic hotel. It's like going back to the 1930s. Staff super. Only a short walk from the main shopping street with many historic cafes.

Hotel is an is a very old un-renovated property, but has friendly staff, a simple but nice breakfast in the morning and conveniently located.

A lovely hotel full of character and excellent staff.

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.
