Vila Gale Coimbra Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast choices. Courteous staff."

Hotel Oslo

8/10 Good

"Everything is good except the smile in the room and it’s not so good smile at wash room"

Solar Antigo Luxury Coimbra

8/10 Good

"Our room was very unique. The hotel was a bit hard to find and wasn't marked well. Parking was minimal on the very narrow cobblestone one-way road. The "living room" of our suite had a huge round bathtub that we didn't use. The dining area was a small round table next to a bricked seating space. The bedroom and very small bathroom were up a spiral wrought iron staircase. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was tiny. There was no comfortable seating, but the picnic basket breakfast was delightful. Overall, we enjoyed the stay. The staff were very kind and helpful."
