We stayed for one night in transit between destinations. The waitress at dinner was welcoming and provided great service, but all other staff we encountered were indifferent to our presence. The hotel seemed to cater only to a large tour group there that night, and our room was dated and uncomfortable. We won’t be returning.

Shuttle availability misleading

We chose this hotel because their Expedia led with \"free shuttle into Coimbra\" but don't count on using it!!! you MUST book the shuttle AT LEAST one hour in advance of the few times it is actually scheduled to run. \"Front desk girl told us No exceptions\" That's not just for availability of getting 1 of the 5 seats on it, that's to actually book getting it to run. And the last run back to hotel is pretty early.) Better to stay IN Counbra. Taxi cost us 6€ each way. No walkway into Coimbra, it's all highway. We checked into hotel 30 minutes before shuttle was scheduled to depart but since no one else had booked the shuttle, there Was No shuttle! Otherwise, decent hotel.

A good experience spoiled...

I have stayed in this hotel quite a few times and its is always great value. The rooms, the mattress quality and especially the restaurant are brilliant - won't get better at this price. Its is very spacious and lots of common areas to relax in. However time, when I arrived I parked next to another car and headed into the reception area. Halfway up the steps, some overweight guy with a moustache like an army general from the reception poked his head out of the window and started yelling in Portuguese - telling me to move my car. I was really embarrassed in front of the other patrons standing in front of the hotel. This is NOT the way to greet guests. Why was it so important to tell me this that he could not wait for me to arrive at the reception. He would have saved me a great deal of embarrassment and not damagedthe image of the hotel if he had not shouted at me from the window like an old pimp. Clearly the staff could do with some training in customer service.

Great views vs outdated rooms

Beautiful views of the city but services are limited and rooms are rather outdated. Asked to change my room for one with a balcony and was told there were none available. However there were more than 10 rooms with balconies and only one showed any signs of life. Was willing to pay the difference for the room change and got the feeling that they just didn't feel like they felt like doing the paperwork. The representative didn't even look at his computer after I asked and just answered quickly ''no there is no rooms available''. Overall just OK for one night and nothing more, just be prepared to be underwhelmed.

Great hotel if you have a car

If you have a car, location is great, no need to worry about parking. It is on the other side of the River from city centre, a short drive to the bridge. We parked the car in the public free parking lot and walked across the bridge. The gate, city centre and University are walking distance from the bridge, but walk uphill, it is a beautiful hilly city.
The breakfast buffet in the hotel was the best, a lot of varieties, restaurant clean and comfortable.
Our room has a nice view of the River, room is clean, bed comfortable. We enjoyed our stay, a very good value.

Do not however start on the hors-d'oeuvre which is delivered to every table while waiing for your main course. Although delicious it prooved to be an expensive extra to the ordered food which was very good value.
The walk down to the old city in daylight was very easy and safe, although not all on public footpaths. The reception will show you the path, they all speak good English and are very helpful.. but would recommend a taxi back to the hotel at night after walking the city all day. Not expensive at all. Definatly would return to this hotel, found the distance from the city no problem at all, and the view incredible

Shabby hotel a long way from the centre

The hotel needed refurbishing - my room had a very nasty smell (of urine?). It was a large room which could have been very nice if refurbished. The worst aspect was the location which was a 35 minute walk (I am a fast walker) from the centre, some of which involved walking along the side of the crash barrier of a dual carriageway. There was no public transport so I had to take taxis home when it was dark.

The only thing that was not perfect (but not bad!), is hotel's location: you would have to rent a taxi to go to the historical part of the ciry; however, it wouldn't be too expencive (about $8.00 one way).

THis hotel is inb the best location for visiting the town if you have a car. The parking is free and although not covered in convenient in front of the hotel, When you drive away to the right is the shopping center and supermarket and to the left free parking to walk across the bridge and enjoy old town. Whee ever you go you can find the hotel across the river and drive there. We had the best room in the hotel with a double bed and large balcony with picnic table and two chairs. Although the hotel offers everything you need it is a bit worn and I would hope would replace the carpets with wood or tile floors.

The hotel is clean, rooms are spacious and with good facilities and the hotel has fabulous views of the old town of Coimbra. Restaurant and reception staff service was friendly and efficient. However, the hotel is about 2 miles from the centre of the town and not on a bus route so not good for independent travellers who are not arriving by car and / or who like to sight-see on foot (albeit that taxis to the town centre are very reasonably priced).

The hotel claims to be 2 minutes from the town centre but it took 7-8 minutes even in a taxi. The map of the hotel's location on the hotel's website is misleading, pinpointing the hotel at a location which is actually only about half as far as at it actually is from the town centre.

Je ne recommande pas.

Arrivé à l'hôtel, il n'y avait aucune place de parking car il y avait 4 conférences dont une politique,une de médecine et le reste je ne sais pas mais tout était plein jusqu'à passé minuit.

Nous avons pris 2 chambres, l'une d'entre elle sentait fort la moisissure. Nous sommes allés à la réception et sois disant ils n'avaient plus de chambre disponible. Nous avons contacté hotel.com et après 1h, l'hôtel nous propose une autre chambre et il a donc fallu déménager en pijama avec notre fille de 3 ans qui dormait déjà car il était déjà 23h.

De plus l'hôtel était en travaux. Le 1er étage et rien sur hotel.com ne le signaler. Il y avait simplement une affiche dans l'ascenseur qui disait qu'il y avait des travaux et que ça commencerait à 10h. À 9h nous étions au petit déjeuner au rez-de-chaussée et nous entendions déjà les machines.
