Top Water Museum Hotel Reviews

Vila Gale Coimbra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay in a gorgeous place. Dinner was superb and breakfast unmatched. We highly recommend it. The location was perfect, easy walks to all the important sites."

Hotel Oslo

8/10 Good

"Close to the main attractions. Safe parking,the a/c works well. They have a laundromat few feet from the hotel.The staff is very helpful and courteous. Good breakfast."

Hotel Mondego

8/10 Good

"Basic room but clean. Only stayed the night. They do have a lovely rooftop bar with a great view of the town. Staff is great. They have 1 parking spot in front of the hotel which happened to be available so we had free parking for the night."

SOPHIA STUDIOS

10/10 Excellent

"Sofia Studios was great value considering the incredible central location it has in Coimbra. It was exceptionally clean and very easy to check in to. Staff are on hand during the day and are very helpful. Our only criticism is that he bathroom is really small with almost no counter space. As well, it's a lot of stairs to the third floor! Normally that wouldn't be a factor for us - and it was completely as advertised - but my wife sprained her knee earlier in our Portugal trip. For anybody with mobility issues, try to request the first floor (and even then there's two flights of stairs)."

NH Coimbra Dona Inês

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and friendly staff. Nice breakfast."

Sapientia Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Junior Suite and the room was large and welcoming with a loft area and beautiful view. The hotel has a lovely outdoor garden setting restaurant, perfect for a glass of wine and a bite to eat after a day of sightseeing. And the location could not be better - a block away from the University Square. And the staff was very friendly and most helpful."

Entre Ruas Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"I like this Apartment, very centrally located and you can walk slightly longer around to avoid the many steps through the church. The layout is comfortable for our 3 nights stay, has many plug-in outlets, big refrigerator, washing machine and best of all free parking."

Praxis CBR Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Fabulous river view in an deluxe room (room 6) on floor 2 . Nice modern room with interesting features. If you have an early start, beware that breakfast is from 8.00am, and we had to order a breakfast box, which isn’t ideal; l have fed back that breakfast should start earlier from 6.30am for a continental style. Good location and next to the old town and main street"

Solar Antigo Luxury Coimbra

8/10 Good

"Interesting hotel on the high edge of the old town. Very nice and reasonable rates. The rooms overlook the new city from high on the hill. In the old city. Our room was exceptionally nice. Beautiful view, hot tub and a great cross breeze. I our room was a four story walk up, but most are less. Park anywhere available and walk until you find the office as you cannot park anywhere close, so don’t bring a lot of luggage. Breakfast was served in our room and very nice."
