Pros: A very uniqe place with beautiful surounding! A huge room with style and character. Clean room and helpfull staff. Big and beautiful garden with a little river beside it. Great breakfast.

10,0 Excellent

Pros: Characterful rural property with a beautiful garden. Room was cool and dark due to its position under a verandah. E xcellent breakfast. Friendly owner

Cons: Due to the age and nature of the property there was a musty smell. Very noisy creaking floor above us and plumbing above noisy too!

8,3 Excellent

Pros: The Quinta was a pleasant place to stay, a comfortable room with traditional furniture and good bedlinen and a new bathroom, It has rather strange surroundings but an attractive garden with a good pool and a nice country view. The owners are friendly. Breakfast is standard fare. We found restaurant im Lousa 'To dos Frangos' to be extraordinarily good value, massive portions very cheaply, beware the is a Locals section which is fun and a normal restaurant. 'Vilha' not quite so cheap but the delicious pork shin could easily have fed three!

Cons: The disadvantages are that, after a long tiring journey it was very difficult to find using GPS and the nearest restaurants are over three miles away in Lousa. The hot water supply is temperamental despite the fact we were the only guests. Wifi coverage is poor.

9,2 Excellent

Pros: The staff very helpful and respectful

Cons: The farm is very small and dos not have restaurant for diner or lunch.

9,2 Excellent

Pros: Great room, silence, great garden en pool, very nice breakfast and tasteful dinners. Perfect place to come to rest.

Cons: I was travelling by public transport, than the location is a bit outside but still manageable if you use taxis. For 2 dinners, 1 lunchbox and 1 clothing washing I paid 60 euros what is a bit high to Portugese norms.

9,6 Excellent

Pros: This place is set in farmland on the outskirts of Lousa and has great rustic charm. It is a good base for exploring the local area and is a very comfortable, quiet and relaxing place to stay. This is probably mostly to do with the philosophy expressed by Filipe (the son of the owners who met us on arrival): 'when you come through our gates you are at home'. Guests are genuinely trusted and encouraged to treat the property as their home. All the rooms are decorated with an individual theme, are comfortable and immaculately clean. The grounds are lovely with lots of places to sit quietly or to socialise with others. The pool is good for a cool off after a long day. Breakfast is simple but fresh and tasty. We also had dinner on one of our nights stay, enjoying fresh local cuisine and the company of some fellow guests. Highly recommended.

Cons: Very small bathroom

9,0 Excellent

Pros: The location of the hotel is excellent and at walking distance to major attractions in the historical center. The staff were helpful and very kind, no objection at all. Decent breakfast. WiFi connection and speed adequate. Airconditioning worked as it should. There are a couple of (cheap) restaurants on the same street right next door.

Cons: Breakfast was decent, but really nothing to write home about (few choices coupled to zero day-to-dayvariety), and they haven't heard of having salt&pepper available anywhere (this actually seemed to be endemic to all Portugal eateries that I have visited, rally strange). The room I was staying in was tiny. As a consequence: barely adequately big bathroom with minuscule sink. No wardrobe, no desk, no chair. therefore if you need to work, you have to do it on the bed! There was only one power outlet in the room beside the two for bed lights. No safe box or refrigerator in the room either. Since I was alone and stayed only for 4 nights it was OK, but for a couple staying in this double-bed room it would be crowded and if you need to do any serious amount of work - look elsewhere.

Pros: The location was walking distance to the historical sites and there is a bus stop in front which goes to Coimbra University. Cloae to parking areas and restaurants in safe area.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast, comfortable room, nice old house, convenient position between the old town and the university.

Cons: Located at the top of a hill, so it gets tiring if you come and go a lot! All part of the Coimbra experience though.

2,0 Mediocre

Pros: The owner was helpful in giving us advice about the city and parking the car. The house had character

Cons: Apart from the dining room the house felt very run down and our room was frankly squalid. A horrible unidentifiable smell Barely any space around the beds to put anything not helped by sloping ceilings as it was an attic room. Paper peeling off the wall and old chipped paintwork. The heater fell off the wall. The sliding bathroom door only half shut. Ancient shower curtain hung in the bath and was constantly soaking wet. No soap. Couldn’t open one of the windows. We were going to stay three nights and we left after one. I’ve travelled in India Asia Africa and South America and cannot remember the last time I encountered a depressing room like this.

9,0 Excellent

Pros: Enjoyed my stay at the Casa Pombal - it was interesting to stay in the old city, near the university. The hostess was lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful. Breakfast was good and it was excellent value overall. I opted for a room without a private bath, but that was never an issue and the sink in the room was nice. Good location, though it was a stiff walk up the hill to return!

Cons: Being in an older house is part of the charm, but it also means creaky floorboards and hearing everyone coming and going. Some guests could have been more respectful by not having conversations at midnight.

9,2 Excellent

Pros: Great location for exploring key old university and city areas. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast.

Cons: Its an old property which has typical issues associated - a little damp although it was raining hard! Free parking a bit tricky.

10,0 Excellent

Pros: Staff were really welcoming. The rooms are simple but they’re just what you need. The bathrooms are always clean even though they are shared by all guests. Breakfast is good and there’s an emergency number you can call 24/7 if you have any problem

Cons: The location can be quite tricky if a guest has reduced mobility or is carrying luggage. My uber couldn’t leave me at the front door because there was a car parked a few meters from it and the streets are really narrow so my driver couldn’t pass, I had to walk my way up to the guesthouse

Pros: Great check in with Alex. Helped with a lot of info and check in. (morning staff was not very helpful or cheerful). Location was ideal to the church and shopping and train station.

Cons: Had to pay extra for a good view. Given a cormer room with a great view but when we checked in, it was not ready. So we had to change rooms to another - which was not a corner room.

8,8 Excellent

Pros: Linens were fantastic - especially the towels. Staff friendly and helpful. Quiet place.

Cons: A little far (and uphill on the way back) from attractions.

6,7 Good

Pros: The rooms are well equipped and the hostel itself is nice in terms of facilities and what it offers. Wifi is so basic though that it not working forced me to lower my rating for the facilities. It was generally pretty clean though

Cons: A lot actually, the self check in system meant we never got to encounter a single staff member till by accident we entered the kitched in the morning before checking out. The wifi didnt work at all, the ned was uncomfortable, the entire place was pretty much a ghost town, and granted we did arrive around 10, we still didnt see a single person in the morning. The whole experience was subpar at best, and honestly there were better options in the area, we chose this to take a break from airbnbs and get a more social experience, which we did not.

8,3 Excellent

Pros: Room had everything what was needed, it was clean and the price was reasonable. I enjoyed staying in this place.

Cons: Place is located a bit far away from the city centre but I enjoyed walking so it wasn't a big deal to me.

9,2 Excellent

Pros: Friendly place. Good car parking.

8,8 Excellent

Pros: Be prepared to get the full residence hall vibe! Entering the accommodation was pretty easy, just call the staff (phone number on the door) and they will open the door for you. Also you‘ll receive an email with alle the information about check-in, wifi, etc.. wich also means you can do the check-in at any time. The rooms are small and simple but clean and cozy, you‘ll find everything you need, even had my own bathroom en suite. I arrived with a car and was allowed to park it on the courtyard, wich is a big plus, but parking on the street around the hostel is also free. Location wise, you‘ll make your way to the university and the botanic gardens in just a few minutes by walking down the hill. Enjoyed staying there, would recommend especially for young backpackers/travelers.

Cons: The kitchen is used by a lot of people, mainly students, so don’t expect it to be as clean as your kitchen at home, but for preparing your breakfast it’s all fine As i said, there are a lot of young people/students living there, so be prepared to hear them talking and laughing till late at night

Cons: It is a prime candidate for a major redo and have shiny 4 stars. There is a certain “aroma“ that shows it’s age.

7,0 Good

Pros: We loved the old fashioned, traditional, "Old Portugal" feel that the hotel had. It was "of a time" and a hark back to Portugal's past. The room was basic, but had the bonus of a lovely balcony overlooking the river. Staff at reception were helpful and the breakfast was very good. The lift was a real bonus and super stylish. Location was terrific, being just a couple hundred metres from the station and bang in centre of Coimbra. Some lovely furniture and accoutrements in the lounge.

Cons: To be frank, the interior of the hotel could do with a facelift. New carpets and redecorating needed.

6,0 Good

Pros: The staff were really friendly and helpful. Also, the breakfast, while not great, was acceptable. The design of the lobby is beautiful and reminiscent of the great hotels of the early 1900s.

Cons: As a whole, the hotel seemed to be past it's prime by maybe 30 years. The carpets, while "clean", were heavily worn and stained. The walls showed many stains too and many places where the paint had been scraped off. Also, there were few electrical outlets in the room.

10,0 Excellent

Pros: The hotel and it's interiors were grand, old world charm if I may say. The lounge room and the dining area were tastefully decorated. We loved the elevator from inside which even had a seat! We were given a lovely room with a big enclosed balcony, opened the windows to a beautiful view of the river Mondego. Centrally located, which meant we could simply walk over to the many attractions like the Santa Cruz Monastery, the famous University etc. Coimbra A train station was just 3 min away. We must mention about Maria at the front desk who patiently answered our numerous queries! The next day we had to travel to Palace Bucaco Hotel and were worried about transportation from the station especially it being a Sunday. But Maria arranged for a taxi pickup leaving us with a big sigh of relief. Thank you very much Maria, we reached safely.

There were plenty of open spaces on the street in front of the hotel but the streets are narrow and hard to navigate, especially with a standard shift car. This isn’t a criticism of the hotel as we would happily stay here again, just a warning for those who are driving.

8,0 Excellent

Pros: The staff

Cons: The banging of the bedroom doors

10,0 Excellent

Pros: Very large rooms, extremely clean and very comfortable, staff was professional and helpful, breakfast had a reasonably large choice, wifi worked well, they have both stairs and elevators. There are at least 2 nice restaurants around and Coimbra-B train station is not far. Price is good given the quality. I will most certainly chose that hotel on my next business trip to Coimbra

Cons: No major issue, it is even hard pointing out minor issues. There was noise down the street at 22h30 once, maybe street cleaners, a bit surprising but room was quiet otherwise. It might not be the most central hotel but then again I have no comparison point.

9,0 Excellent

Pros: Nice old house. Very friendly staff. Comfortable beds. Our family room was in the attic and only had a small window near ceiling for ventilation ( also had air conditioning so was comfortable) Separate bathroom down corridor had a fantastic view! Breakfast was very good.

Cons: There was no free parking on site as indicated on the website. Staff advised us where we could find free parking- had to drive a short distance to find it.

9,6 Excellent

Pros: It's lookmore like a hotel than a hostel and I loved the breakfast. They are near a place called Los 100 montaditos, is really good and cheap if you don't want to spend too much.

Cons: They didn't have free parking

8,0 Excellent

Pros: The breakfast was very nice!

Cons: We would have liked a room with view. We did not realize this when booking that the room only had a ceiling window. The room had an exterior bathroom, which required a key to open and close from the inside. This was a bit difficult, as the key mechanism was not the easiest and with two children.

8,0 Excellent

Pros: The location was great, a bit outside of the center but with a beautiful view and 15min walking distance to most main attractions. The room was light, spacious and clean. Simple but very pleasant.

Cons: The coffee at breakfast was very bad - instant coffee from a machine. Too bad, as breakfast itself was nice,

9,0 Excellent

Pros: + Stylish old house transformed into a hostel/hotel + our room was bright, with lots of windows + the bathroom was very spacious + good breakfast + a bit outside the old town, but still walking distance to all the main sights

Cons: - noise isolation was quite poor, so bring earplugs with you in case you are sensitive, as you will hear all the cars passing by on the street - parking is only available on the street and on weekdays you have to pay for it

10,0 Excellent

Pros: Great breakfast, clean facilities, cozy areas, excellent location to sightsee and great staff

7,5 Good

Pros: Lockers, private lamp and socket at every bed. Tasty breakfast included. Nice design of the common space. In general the building is looks great, it’s an old villa.

Cons: - location. I didn’t check it well and it’s quite some walk from the bus station/ city center - They could have put some curtains at each bed to add more privacy (as each bed has a frame so it wouldn’t be much work).

8,8 Excellent

Pros: Awesome breakfast included, nice bed and rooms. Everything was extremely clean and functioning

Cons: Staff was not very friendly and there was no atmosphere whatsoever

Pros: I loved the staff. They were incredibly helpful and knowledgable about the area. The location is fabulous. A short walk to all the hot spots. I thought the room was clean and nice. It was quiet on our street.

Cons: My one problem with the place was that the walls seemed thin between the rooms. We heard our neighbor watching tv until about 4am. I managed to sleep through most of it but my wife was kept up.

3,1 Mediocre

Pros: Staff was very nice. Food was good but it it hard to find bad portugueses food.

Cons: Garage is terrible, dark, unsafe and lacks ventilation. Had a CO alarm while there and it was scare. Very bad engineering. One needs to manouver on the top of the exit ramp to get out. Location is very bad on a really rundown area of the city. Quite depressing. Rooms had very ugly. Carpet is ugly, dated and filthy. One has tô wheat sandals. Dryer was bad. TV was really bad as far as image quality. Beds and pillows were really bad. All furniture was of bad quality. Internet was ridículos. Scratchy signal and when working (very seldon) was worse than the dial up of the old times. And staff had no idea or solution. Once they suggested me to walk around my room to improve the signal. I ha 2 iPads and 2 two iPhones and some times no one could get a signal. the sad part is that this one is supposed to be the best hotel in Coimbra. I guess I will never visit coimbra again.

8,3 Excellent

Pros: Bed was very confortable

Cons: Moquette :(

7,5 Good

Pros: Location is OK, but about 30min away from the old city center on foot. Hotel is comfortable, with a front desk open 24hrs. Large rooms with a nice bathroom. Breakfast buffet has a good mix of items, without being gourmet or particularly high end. Free Wifi is superfast. Friendly staff.

Cons: While being reasonably modern and comfortable, the building is starting to show its age and could use some renovation. There was a 10cm hole in my carpet (looked like a burn hole), a small chip on the wall, and traces of rust in the bathroom. There is no kettle/tea/coffee in the rooms (I was given a kettle when I asked for one, but had to buy my own instant coffee). Free outside parking may not always be available, as it is near a school (I was lucky to get the last spot, ... at 8am). Only 2 small elevators for a relatively large hotel.
