I have stayed in many Ibis hotels in multiple countries over the years. This one the AC didn't work. We turned it as low as it could go and it was so hot. There were no plugs by your bed to charge phones. I haven't been to a hotel that doesn't have plugs by the bed.

The worst part though is that my friend woke up with bug bites all over her arms and legs. We only stayed one night. (Thank god) When we got to our next destination we went to a pharmacist who said she had been bitten by bed bugs!

I was going to review this hotel poorly because the next morning my friend found dried blood stains on the sheets. We both thought this was gross but after doing research on bed bugs we learned seeing blood stains in the bed is a sign of crushed bed bugs.

I originally was going to give this hotel a lower rating for the small room, lack of plugs and AC that didn't work, but bed bugs is another level. We still have 3 more days of our vacation and my friend is itchy and miserable.

Great location, but not my hotel

Great staff a check in! My room was hot and it was October! Couldn't open the windows because of a rock concert Across The river. I'm a professional parking in Europe and the parking garage was scary but on the positive side it was right below the university which is why you go to the location.

The hotel was your basic 2 star hotel. The double twin bed room was small and the beds were barely separated. Large construction project was going on in front of the hotel which made accessing the hotel difficult. Hotel location was great in terms of getting to the city sites. Breakfast was good as well.

The staff were excellent in this hotel
The breakfast buffet was good
What brought the ratings down so low? What's the air conditioning system or lack of
It's turned off until a certain time of the year
Which means our room was hot all the time. The temperature of our room at night around ten o'clock would be twenty five twenty six celsius. I measured it
This means we had to leave our window open with all the outside noise and car pollution, and our room door opened. So the air would circulate until the room cooled down enough to go to sleep, which is usually around twelve one o'clock in the morning
If you're going to stay in this hotel and the weather's going to change from hot to cold hot to cold, I would not recommend staying there

My stay was fine. Absolutely what you’d expect from an Ibis. Reliable. Convenient. A room with no bells and whistles. A bit old and tired but perfect as a place to sleep and explore the city.

The bathroom is quite awkward as the shower room is in the bedroom. The whole room gets wet as no shower curtin provided. Also, the bathroom door gets stuck and not able to close it. This is likely due to the poor set up with no curtins. The toilet room is in the living room which is tiny and no privacy as the doors in the toilet and shower room are very cheap and hollow so noises travel thru them

Pros: Convenient location, good breakfast and staff

Cons: some amenities don’t work - showerhead, temperature control. Dirty carpets, paper thin towels. Parking in the underground garage is a nightmare. Reception staff can be bit more cordial

Solid inexpensive hotel , could use a facelift. The surrounding area is undergoing improvments so you may have construction noise etc for the next 12 months but the location is great - you can walk to everthything - Univ. , Train, Dining and shops .
It's not luxury - but if you are only passing through it's great.

This IBIS hotel was a great location ! For the price we paid, it was outstanding value ! We only stayed one night as we did not know how much there was to see in Coimbra but we should have stayed 1 more day before making our way to Lagos. Charming town and the hotel was way above expectation. Staff was super friendly and helpful, room was somewhat basic but very clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was a small extra but was worth the money. Close to shops and restaurants. Parking underground was a nice plus. Would go back for sure, highly recommended !

It must be part and parcel of staying in big hotels, biut our room was serviced only after 14h30 for three consecutive days. The breakfast was sub Ibis standard- the croissants and petit pain au chocolait was stale and tough. There was only a block of marmalade and no other jams. On two occasions there eere no knives and we had to run about to find someone to provide some. The fresh juices were sugary cordials, not fresh and not juice.
We have enjoyed staying in various Ibis Hotels all over the world. This one was disappointing.

Parking is currently unavailable but property still lists parking as a feature. There is private parking available behind the hotel but it is only open until 10:30pm, if you arrive past that time you will have to park further way and walk through a construction zone. This is only informed if you ask, and by that time my reservation was already done and it was non refundable. AC in the room did not work either. Deducted a star for each of these inconveniences.

This is a very budget friendly hotel. Small rooms, poor quality beds and no amenities. Breakfast was cold flare. Limited choices and not worth the 8 euro. It did have parking below ground but had to pay for it and very tricky to navigate! Not the hotels fault but there is road construction right out front so again trick to get to.

This was our second time at this hotel. April 2023 and now (October 2023). The construction in front of the hotel is not a big deal. We just happened to be here during University week, so it was noisy and couldn’t drive to the hotel because the road was closed until 9:00 pm. Then there was a concert from at 2:00 to 5:00 am (yes, am in the morning), so needless to say, we didn’t get much sleep. Moral of the story, don’t stay here if you come during University week (happens twic a year).

We loved the location, just a few minute walk to the main part of old town and just under the university. Part of the road and park in front were under construction so that limited convenient access to the riverfront park (nothing to do with the hotel). We had a Citroen 9 pax van and getting it in/out of the parking garage was VERY nerve racking and do not recommend trying to get a van in or out. Small/medium cars should be no problem. Rooms are very small and difficult to get comfortable with 2 travelers and luggage. Breakfast was typical of the other 6 hotels we stayed in on this trip, not bad, just the same.

Functional and clean, but no frills

A very standard, albeit dated, Ibis property. Do not expect any magic and you won’t be disappointed. The room was very basic but functional; rather clean (though there were crumbs left under the bed and the shower had some old stains). We had a room turned away from the river (with a view of the city), and it was very quiet at night. Wifi works like a charm. My only qualm is the shower - water pressure was very weak.

Air conditioning does not work, cell tower on roof

I can review 2 rooms since I changed room and both rooms have a TERRIBLE problem with their air conditioning system: it does not work. On a very hot day you are better off sitting outside, literally. Room 112 was the worst of the 2 (the air con was making only noise but no cooling) although it was a little larger. Also they need to stop using bleach to clean the toilets because the bleach smell, given that there is no air conditioning, is choking. The beds were comfortable but they were extremely pathetic in giving only 2 skimpy pillows. Room 112 had smelly pillows (you know, when many have slept on them with sweat which needs to be properly washed away) but room 402 did not. Room 112 was also a little dirty (bathroom). Room 402 was all clean. Both rooms gave paper cups (for what? There was no kettle nor coffee maker) but they were NOT sealed, so they looked used. Yuk. In the bathroom you only have 2 thin and small towels, really unacceptable. Room 402 is too small for 2 people while room 112 is slightly larger, but both small. The lady at reception was extremely nice and tried to help, but she could not make miracles of course. Coimbra has several low quality hotels and even the better ones are not as good as in other Portugal towns, considering the price. I stayed in 2 rooms. 402 and 112. 402 was right by their roof cell tower, so I asked to be moved and was given (the following day) room 112, which is below the cell tower (but they both gave me a headache).

The location of the property is good, near the river and the main walking district. The university is also within walking distance. The rooms are very small and not convenient to unpack and store items within reach. The bed was comfortable, and the shower worked well. Breakfast was adequate, and seating was plentiful. Refill of items was handled quickly. Food was average. Elevators worked as expected and were suitable in size. The parking garage was difficult to get around, very tight corners, and emerging onto a very busy street, plus the exit was one a significant hill, making in and out difficult. Overall, I rate our stay as average.

The parking underground is very tight, I would to have wanted to drive anything but a very small car into there and out of there. On street parking nearby but you have to pay for daytime parking. Nice people at hotel and good breakfast.
