Top Biblioteca Joanina Hotel Reviews

Zero Box Lodge Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"We have been traveling as an adult couple for months and we absolutely loved this place. Clean. Great staff. Modern vibe. Quite. We had our best sleep in months. Couple that with a bar and restaurant upstairs and you cant ask for more."

Sapientia Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, right next to the University of Coimbra. Staff was very helpful with bag stowage & transport. Breakfast was very good with fresh fruit, juice, pastries, and with eggs & stewed tomatoes. We stayed in a suite with two levels, the bedroom/bath up & living area/kitchen down. The kitchen was well furnished with plates, flatware, cups, etc. The rooms were clean and the staff maintained a high level of care to keep them spotless. The design looked modern with linear appointments and a few old world touches like the rock wall. Some of the design choices were questionable such as the sliding bathroom door with no privacy and no soft surfaces to absorb sound. Noise within the suite resonated throughout. Dinners were average compared to the surrounding choices. I would recommend this hotel if you are visiting the University."

Pensão Residencial Internacional

10/10 Excellent

"I don't understand why anyone would give a bad rep of this place. You can see the historic train station (Coimbra-A) from the hotel, in its heyday this place cannot be more convenient. Now, it's also 1 minute away from the Portagem tram stop, which within 10 minutes will put you at the Coimbra bus station, or about 15 minutes from the Coimbra-B train station. They put me on a corner room on the first floor and the kind gentleman working the night shift offered to help me with my suitcase which I GREATLY appreciated. The room was small but had AC, shower was hot with excellent pressure, the bed was comfy and the view just fantastic. Yes, it's small, some light switches don't work, the floor probably could be cleaner and also the bedsheets had a bit too much lint or even hair in it, but this is a BUDGET hotel which is amazingly central in the heart of Coimbra. If you want all that excellence, pay more. You can't pay pennies and ask for too much. I'll take this over a hostel any day. I also thoroughly checked for bugs etc and didn't see any, so you know they do their best in keeping this safe hygienic. I'll recommend this especially to solo budget travellers who want their own room!"
