As hotels go, this one is comfortable enough but is not well placed for the old town or university. It has very little character, being a multistory 'box' with standard rooms and reception lounges. Rooms are fine and in reasonable condition with decent bathrooms. Those at the front are noisy given the busy road outside and, although the double glazed windows help, the airconditioning doesn't work well enough to keep them closed all night. Rooms at the back are much better and offer better views. Plenty of free parking but, as mentioned above, you face a good 20 minute walk in the very steep streets to get to the old town or university. Overall, fine for a conference or business meeting, not recommended for sightseeing.

Modern hotel with no soul or style, but friendly and professional staff at reception. Good seating and excellent service at the bar.Large room with king size bed and all amenities. However, windows are poorly insulated, so noise is a problem, both to the roadside or to the courtyard!!!
In the morning, breakfast was mayhem, with long queues and chaos in finding cutlery, food, milk, etc. Next morning things improved, a good selection of breads, cereals, bacon and eggs...but soft drinks are rather synthetic and brightly coloured.
Overall the hotel was a good value for money. Coimbra is a lovely old town, worth a visit. Nice squares with a lot of eating places, nice tasty food and not expensive at all!

We stayed here one night on way to Porto. In hindsight I wouldn't bother as really only the university is special to see and this doesn't take long. The hotel was a great disappointment. Service was very poor, rooms were below average and it's a lengthy hike to city center in much traffic. Dinner is the restaurant was only so-so.

Nice modern hotel, easy to find.
Not very good was all the sounds you can from from de rooms around during night, even a couple making love, and people talking...
