Top Water Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Oslo

8/10 Good

"Très bien situé avec un personnel super sympathique Déjeuner délicieux avec beaucoup de choix"

Entre Ruas Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great. Apt was very comfortable for a large family"

Stay Hotel Coimbra Centro

10/10 Excellent

"We only used this hotel because of its location close to the airport. One positive thing is that there is a Lidl directly opposite."

Sapientia Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service from all the staff with a sense of humour, nothing was too much trouble. Food delicious. A calm Oasis in the middle of Coimbra. Thank you for Victoria especially for graciously putting up with our group of 6. Can’t recommend this hotel highly enough."

Solar Antigo Luxury Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"Reading the reviews (which were back and forth ) had me debating whether on not to book here but in the end we were very happy with our stay! This is not a traditional hotel. At check in and it looks like nothing and you start to question your choice to stay here but then we saw the room we were assigned and was thrilled. They decorated it for our anniversary! Such a wonderful touch. It was so clean as well. I know some rooms are more cramped than others but ours was more than enough. However could have used more shelves in the bathroom to hold toiletries so I had to use the small table just outside the bathroom instead- which should have been the table we eat our bfast at Definitely not a room for tall people - there was a beam in ours that stuck out and my husband hit his head twice in the beginning. Same with the bathroom door being small/ short. Breakfast is delivered to your room in the morning- they ask you what time you want it at check in. It was always the same- scrambled eggs, deli ham and cheese, a basket of assorted breads, a bowl of corn flakes, two yogurts, a fruit plate, a thermos of hot milk and a bottle of OJ. There is a comp bottle of water in the room which they will refill for u when needed. The closet was weird because it was very small and also houses the mini fridge. But this room was definitely unique and we were happy with it. Location wise- very close to the university but a long hike. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for any adjustments to your bfast"

R3 Service Five Senses in Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"Do not be fooled by the exterior! This is a hidden gem. Room was spotless, great instructions and staff friendly. Breakfast was minimal but more than enough to set you up. We travelled from the train station, walking so that was useful. The only minimal downside is limited staff hours, bur the reply to messages was great and even provided advice on where to go for a glass of wine. Can walk to the shops and centre within 15 minutes. We would absolutely stay here again. Note. The stairs are tight so maybe bot accessible for everyone!"

Hotel Astoria

10/10 Excellent

"The location was excellent. The balcony offered a beautiful view directly over the river, which was definitely a highlight of the stay. The soundproofing could be a little better, but overall it was a lovely place to stay."

Hotel Ibn-Arrik

10/10 Excellent

"Todo fue muy bien el hotel bonito muy buen desayuno,el staff muy agradable. lo que no me gustó fue la cama muy incómoda y las almohadas horribles"

Guest House Infante Dom Henrique

8/10 Good

"Great, friendly staff Amenities old but clean Close to everything Quiet rooms"
