"This was a great little studio in the heart of Coimbra. The kitchen was awkwardly small, but it still did the trick. It was a little difficult to check-in, as I wasn’t initially sent the email with the access codes. But it was just a slight inconvenience and was rectified quickly."
Temporary itinerary, so it was more than seven o'clock in the evening that day, and arrived before nine o'clock. Because it was a homestay, I needed to check in by myself. At that time, the store did not reply to the information in time. I contacted the small housekeeper directly. The response was quite timely and gave praise ~.
The environment is good, the health is also very good, the bed is very big, I belong to the higher sleep requirements, the living environment gives full marks!
A little distance from the University Town of Coimbra, but it is very convenient to take a taxi. Overall, I am very satisfied with ~.
We stayed two nights in apartment 2.2 - one bedroom with a small office room which has a desk and single bed. Location was great, being right off the main pedestrian ***** in the old town area, so very atmospheric and convenient for restaurants. Check-in is at Hotel Oslo, about 4min walk away so you will have to walk with your luggage for a few minutes, including up some stairs. The apartment building also does not have a lift, so you will need to be able to carry your luggage up stairs within the building. I don't think you would be able to call an Uber or taxi to the street in front of the building as it is very narrow so bear this in mind. Some other minor points I noticed about the apartment which you may find helpful:
- It directly faces another building on a narrow street, so the apartment doesn't really get natural sunlight
- There is a washer but no dryer - it took a whole day for our clothes to dry and the rack sat in the living room
- The apartment fittings are starting to feel a bit worn down
The hotel reception was poor, no effort was made to inform us of the hotel’s amenities or location of the amenities. The port wine at the reception was on display but was never offered to us or the other guests. The cleaning staff were very friendly, congratulations. The heating unit was located outside near the window of the room and was surprisingly loud. The worst of all was a male guest using the sauna and steam room while completely *****! Shocking lack of hygiene!!!
Hotel close to public transport, including Coimbra train stations. Large and clean room with minibar and room service and other services available through the hotel's App, very practical.
