"The location of the hotel is perfect. Right next to Biblioteca Joanina! Talk about a short walk to a national monument! Great restaurants are close by including the restaurant at the hotel. It was easy to walk the whole city and see and do everything we had on our list. The rooftop deck had amazing views too. The patio outside the restaurant was also very comfortable and inviting. They even have a pet turtle in a water feature in the patio area. "

"This is an extraordinary place just like the photo. I was greeted with sparkling wine and cake and offered the whole bottle the following day. It is in a very challenging place in old Coimbra so you need to be reasonably fit although another lovely lady walking her dog helped me out the next night when i was lost"

"It is an old hotel with very, very small rooms but it is adequate for a 1 night stay. The bathroom is also small but clean and the shower was good. There is a roof top bar area and also a bar area inside where an adequate breakfast is served. "

"I will start by saying the staff was wonderful, the bed was comfortable, the room was very spacious and clean. The hotel was a little difficult to locate at first, the bathroom door did not close properly and the shower leaked all over the floor. Additionally I believe that we booked a room with a view but that was a bit of a let down as you had to step out to the small balcony to actually see it. It is located very close to everything which was nice."

"Love the concept. Nice bar area to relax and great location to explore the most wonderful city "

"Did not try but looked very nice."

"Absolutely amazing art work that is this hotel. From the kindness of amazing staff to a room that was out of this world. View from the balcony on the roof where free drinks and coffee available make this a gem of Coimbra."

"The rooms were clean, small but location was convenient. The staff were very courteous and very helpful, they showed us what to check out etc. "
