Coimbra Vintage Lofts

Property located at unmarked location down an alley, numeric keypad entrance. We received no check-in instructions or keycode in advance . We phoned the number listed to discover that one needed to check in at the front desk of the nearby Hotel Oslo. Anyone's guess why Expedia or the property didn't simply advise us of this in advance The room itself was on two floors, up a steep flight of stairs to get to the first of the 2 floors (no elevator, which is not uncommon in Europe though). The bed was located up a steep set of spiral stairs. Almost no sound insulation with nearby rooms. Even though we were told at check-in that there was a strict "no parties after 10pm" rule, this helped little as we could hear everything being said by our neighbours who were up late talking. And we heard street noises as well. If booking this hotel, you might get lucky but we recommend bringing ear plugs. Heating/AC: the HVAC unit, a heat pump, is located high in the room near the 2nd floor bedroom, so it will probably do a good job on hot evenings. But when it is cold outside, the bedroom will be toasty but the downstairs (kitchen, dining area, sofa and, most importantly, the unheated bathroom) will be cold. Very small mini fridge, no temp control (our milk froze). 2 burner hotplate (no ind. lights) + kettle. TV high on wall not really usable.

Unexpected quality for an appartement in a backstreet

Great apartment with a fantastic location. Very convenient and close to.all the main attractions in Coimbra city center. The loft it's absolutely beautiful fully equipped with a very comfy bed. This will be a redo location for us.

Muito confuso para fazer o check-in; ter que ir a um hotel diferente para realizá-lo não é nada confortável. A equipe não foi nada amigável, levantaram a voz comigo em mais de uma ocasião e foram ríspidos nas respostas. A experiência não foi agradável.

Il faisait plutôt froid, pas de chauffage

Clean, central, very spacious. Kitchen could add a few more implements, but overall very good

Large loft with kitchen area. Awakened by toddler in adjoining room - thin walls. Not clearly communicated that we should go to the Hotel to check in - NOT to the address of the loft. Or that parking was 10 Eoros per night. Staff at the hotel were very helpful.

Ruim apartement in een oud gebouw met meer appartementen. Vanwege bouw en leeftijd wel wat gehorig, maar goed geschikt voor een meerdaags verblijf in Coimbra. Zeer behulpzaam personeel van hotel Oslo bij het inchecken. Bij een volgend bezoek zouden we dit zonder aarzeling weer boeken

No elevator Carry suitcase up and down stairs not a good choice

Clean and had all the amenities a loft should. Only issue is that it was cold inside despite having the air conditioning on all night.

Lovely quirky old apartment right in the middle of town

Lofts in an 18th century building with modern amenities.

The vintage loft was a but rustic and tired but it is interesting to experience something different staying in the old cavernous building

Hotel Oslo was very good, but confusing instructions of parking and then finding building with our unit. Lots of stairs, cute retro decor.

Very well setup, in a convenient part of town. Unfortunately some other guests found it nice to have a loud conversation in the common area at 3am for an hour or so, and the sound isolation was non existent.

Great staff

Good overall and spacy. But, the wall should be too thin so we heard conversations next door hotel guests.

Our suite included a full kitchen which was very convenient for preparing breakfast and snacks. Location is a short walk from the train station.
