“Amazing little pension in the center of old Coimbra!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

After having traveled all across Spain and Portugal I can honestly say the lovely dutch ladies who run Casa Pombal were the most helpful wonderful patrons we encountered. They helped us make reservations at our next destination, gave us travel advice, and were very well informed on the local goings-on.

The location is perfect for a walking tour of the city, but be warned, it is a very steep hill on which the old city sits. Be prepared for a hike! And heed their advice and take a taxi from the train station, its just much simpler than trying to make it there with luggage.

The traditional dutch breakfast is wonderful, and a refreshing difference from the breakfast most places serve. There was even vegimite for my australian girlfriend....
We stayed in a double room, and it was quaint, clean, and perfectly suited to our needs.

Thanks so much ladies, hopefully I'll come by again some day!

“Very pleasant for a short stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011

person found this review helpful

A pleasant place, quaint and atmospheric. Very friendly owners with lots of helpful tips. Our room was not big, but spotlessly clean and the view from the top floor was great. The pillows could be more comfortable, but this is very subjective, of course. The breakfast was quite good and the Dutch people who miss their favourite pindakaas and hagelslag will be happy to find them so far away from home. I would not stay there for more than a day or two, though, and would perhaps look for something a bit more comfortable. However, for a short trip to Coimbra this is a good option.

“Nice place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

person found this review helpful

The place is in the middle of the old town, which is a 15 minute walk to the pedestrian street and most restaurants. It is a pleasant walk though. The room is small but functional. They cleaned my room everyday and even folded my own cloths! The decoration is corny, but it is funny! You have the feeling of sleeping at grand ma's place! When you arrive, they provide you load of information. They also recommended me some nice places where to eat. The breakfast is excellent and there is a little patio outside. There is a computer you can use and they also have a wi-fi access, all for free.

“good place to visit the historical center of Coimbra”

Stayed one night in the center of Coimbra, what is enough to visit the city. You get a lot of information when you arrive. Double room was not very big but clean and OK. Washtable on the room, shared bathroom on the floor.

“Helpful host, great location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2011

We stayed at Casa Pombal for two nights and loved our stay there. We were given friendly advice on what to see and where to go which helped us get the most of our stay in Coimbra. Casa Pombal is in the historic part of Coimbra and close to the university which has some great things to see. The breakfasts were fabulous and the rooms bright and cheerful. Would totally stay here again!
