Homestays in Coimbra District, Portugal

This little hotel is located just west of the river and is just a short walk away from the city. The price is basic and so is the room, bed, desk, TV, AC, shower. There's no facilities for coffee or tea but the hotel is surrounded by cafés and restaurants so it's not a great problem. The breakfast is excellent, it's unusual to find a restaurant that can cook scrambled eggs without turning them into rubber but these were delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful and speak good English, the place is scrupulously clean and there's free, undercover parking three minutes away. The test is would we go back? We will indeed.

The location is excellent: although it is not so close to the main attractions of the city, it is in a region with several transport options, as well as supermarkets and food sites. The price is a big difference, with good accommodation with excellent room at an excellent price. Even without air conditioning and making much warm during the day, having the windows partially open at night was more than enough to have a good night sleep. It needs attention to details on repairs that are not very expensive and, because they have not been done, they end up giving a bad look to a room that has been renewed recently: the tower is not very fixed in the movie, a curtain cannot be collected and the shower is not well fixed on the support during the bath. The service is quite welcome, however, only for additional information, we had problem in requesting to leave our travel bags before check-in, because we would still arrive in the city morning: I know that this is not a obligation The hotel is a hotel with a view to the hotel, but one of the reasons for booking this hotel was just because we received the confirmation that we could leave our stuff in the hotel before check-in (which takes place at 15:00). However, as a rule, there is no one at the reception before 12:00 (i.e. until that time it is never possible to leave his things there) and on the day we were there would be no one even until 15:00; we just thought that there could have been prior warning of this. the fact that we have been able to take a closer look at the problem of the environment is that we have a greater need to take a closer look at the problem of the environment.

We were very happy with our two-night stay in Studio no. 12, which was spacious, tastefully appointed and had everything we needed. The host/manager Ricardo was very solicitous, regularly checking that we were satisfied and asking whether we needed anything. Our only real bone of contention had less to do with Sophia Studios and more to do with the location, with noise from the [busy] street outside and nightclubs and the like penetrating the fully closed windows and shutters. That aside, the location is excellent, within walking distance of everything you'll want to see.

We had a family suite here, overlooking the river. The room was large and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom looked to be new and well equipped. The desk staff are friendly, helpful and speak English. There is daily service for the rooms. Parking is very close, cheap and safe. The added bonuses of staying here are a shared kitchen with a small, delightful rooftop terrace and a larger terrace on the first floor. Walking over the bridge to the main pedestrian street takes less than 5 minutes. The Santa Clara neighborhood is quiet with a number of restaurants. A large supermarket is about a ten minute walk away from town. NOTE - it is difficult to find the building coming in off the highway. It is and the end of the block with no clear identification by the door. The name is on the river side. You need to drive over a sidewalk from the main road as the short street is quite easy to miss. This place is a real find, so glad we stayed here!

Lovely little boutique hotel in a charming beach town just south of Porto on the West Coast of Portugal. We were not there during high season, so not much was open, but the hotel is centrally located and is probably a great location when the town is busy. the hotel is in a renovated old house and is very clean and comfortable. There is a lounge and outdoor space for guests. The proprietors are incredibly helpful and kind to guests. The absolute highlight was the breakfast, which was the best we had in Portugal - virtually everything you could want - from eggs and bacon, to pastries, to fruit and more. They even bring you hot milk so that you can make a wonderful latte. It was a great way to start our day.

During my travels I always choose hotels with pools, as I like to relax in them in the morning and in the afternoon after exploring. That was also the case here in Coimbra. But, shortly after booking that hotel with a pool by Mondego river, I cancelled it when I saw pics of Solar Antigo. I sacrificed the pool and did the right thing. Solar Antigo is an amazing boutique hotel with a luxury touch. It consists of series of rooms in several historical buildings in old Coimbra, on top of the hill, close to the University. Each room is individually designed with amazing attention to details. Every inch of the room is carefully planned and beautiful with stylish furniture. We booked the ordinary room, but got an upgrade for a two level Jacuzzi room (probably God's compensation for that pool). The staff is so kind and welcoming - they waited for us almost until midnight to arrive. They provide free parking by the hotel in that tiny uphill street. Amazing views of Coimbra from your window. Breakfast is served in a basket and delivered to your room in the morning. You have 2 TVs, AC, bathrobe, coffee machine and a refrigerator with complimentary cooled bottle of champagne and couple of beers - unbelievable and unseen for a price of around 70 Euros a night for two people. The only problem is finding this jewel, specially at night when we arrived. But once there, all Coimbra attractions are in a very close walking distance. I must emphasize in terms of quality/price/location, Solar Antigo is one of the best hotels I've stayed in my 30 years of travel being in 500+ hotels in over 80 countries on all continents.
