"My husband and I were touring around Portugal for 9 days so we had many hotel bookings. When we got to Coimbra I kept in mind some of the less than desirable reviews on this hotel. Well being from the NY/NJ area we are use to being inconvenienced. There was nothing inconvenient about this hotel. You can pull up in front, unload and there is a gratis parking garage right across the street. The hotel has been renovated and we upgraded our room to a room with a balcony for 35 euro. The rooms are clean, the balcony and rooftop views were great. It's an older city so buildings are older in appearance. This hotel is a fine place to stay when traveling through. The breakfast was also very nice."

"Very clean and functional room."

"Very clean room, great location, free parking near by, friendly staff, nespresso with pods and mini bar in room. "

"Lovely hotel, great location, loved the room"

"We had a delightful stay, enjoying the view of the city from our window. And each morning, we got a basket of our breakfast to start our day. "

"Staff so friendly and welcoming. Clean rooms, beautiful design of bar/lobby/restaurant as well as rooms. Breakfast buffet had many choices and was delicious food. The hotel is located immediately below the historic university buildings. Our room had a spacious balcony on a quiet courtyard (autumn). The rooftop patio offers beautiful views of the city. Staff provided a free drink upon arrival, a free glass of wine at 6pm, and brought chocolate and a bedtime story to the room in the evening. This is our favorite hotel in Portugal, improved only if they would provide a kettle or coffeemaker in the room."

"Good option for Coimbra, value for money, awkward room without windows and only skylights, but overall spacious and just fine. Breakfast was basic but in way…just fine as well. I would come back! "

"Beautiful hotel. Very clean. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Parking was relatively easy, just behind the building. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was average (long wait times, mediocre food) but the included buffet breakfast was wonderful. Would stay here again."

"A large, modern hotel with large grounds for tennis and exercise. The hotel and its large $5 per day parking lot is conveniently located right at the entrance to old town Tomar. Its a 10 minute walk from the hotel to the center of Tomar with dozens of shops and restaurants. 20 minute walk or 10 minute car ride to the Templar castle complex."
