Where do we start. This was a fabulous hotel. Everything we expected and hoped for. Sonia looked after us from the moment we arrived and we could not have wished for a better host. If you want a modern hotel with square rooms and satellite TV, this is not the place for you. Keeping the style of its initial build 100 years ago makes this place very special from the opulence of the residents lounge, the ship like dining room and the rooms which are old but well cared for. We were fortunate to have a room facing the river with large balcony doors and air conditioning. The breakfast was exceptional. We dropped one star on the amenities only because it would have been nice to have a bar. To be fair there is an honesty bar but its not the same. Deserves all 5 stars overall and we re already looking at dates to return.

Good breakfast included, beautiful old hotel

Spotless clean roon, awesome historic hotel. Lovely delicious breakfast. The kind lady at reception was so patient and helpful. Room had a beautiful terrace overlooking the river. Very quiet and comfortable room in this beautiful town. Very relaxing. Thank you to the staff at hotel Astoria

Great place. Excellent breakfast. Staff very helpful.

View, breakfast, vicinity, everything perfect!

Great staff, good breakfast. Cool old hotel.

I love the fact that the Hotel Astoria hasn't changed all that much over the years. It was quaint, but I didn't feel that it was forced. Go with confidence!

A bit of a step back in time. But everything in good shape. Tasty breakfast spread. Parking is across the river and so are many dining options.

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
