Hotels With breakfast in Coimbra District, Portugal

Hotel Astoria offers a nostalgic step back into the early 1900s, boasting an unbeatable location with bus stops at the front door and easy walking distance to local shops, restaurants, and the world-famous University of Coimbra. The property captures the elegance of a bygone era through its charming guest lounging area and a unique historic elevator complete with a built-in seat. Guests can enjoy a hearty breakfast and friendly service, and those staying in Room 407 will be treated to a truly fantastic view of the river. However, the vintage charm of Room 407 comes with significant physical drawbacks. The bathroom is exceptionally tight, resulting in several instances of bumping my head on a shelf while using the toilet, and the lack of a vent leads to uncomfortably high humidity. More concerning was a persistent, musty organic smell that the hotel attempted to mask with heavy scented deodorizers, which unfortunately triggered my asthma. Additionally, a safety hazard exists at the room’s entrance where an uneven floor height caused my husband to sprain his ankle. While the hotel is a gem for history lovers, I would not stay in Room 407 again unless these issues are remediated. For those exploring the area's architecture, the hotel is perfectly positioned to visit local landmarks featuring stunning blue tile work, including the nearby Igreja de Santa Cruz, the University’s Capela de São Miguel, the hilltop Igreja de Santo António dos Olivais, and the historic Sé Nova. Go for the location and the staff, but be mindful of the structural quirks of the older rooms.

”Unparalleled cultural experience! The hotel has an extremely beautiful environment and a deep history of the garden. The dining and wine list at Michelin-recommended restaurants is amazing, and the spa facilities are completely relaxing. The service staff showed great professionalism and enthusiasm, making this pilgrimage perfect. ”

We stayed two nights in apartment 2.2 - one bedroom with a small office room which has a desk and single bed. Location was great, being right off the main pedestrian strip in the old town area, so very atmospheric and convenient for restaurants. Check-in is at Hotel Oslo, about 4min walk away so you will have to walk with your luggage for a few minutes, including up some stairs. The apartment building also does not have a lift, so you will need to be able to carry your luggage up stairs within the building. I don't think you would be able to call an Uber or taxi to the street in front of the building as it is very narrow so bear this in mind. Some other minor points I noticed about the apartment which you may find helpful: - It directly faces another building on a narrow street, so the apartment doesn't really get natural sunlight - There is a washer but no dryer - it took a whole day for our clothes to dry and the rack sat in the living room - The apartment fittings are starting to feel a bit worn down

The location is excellent; it's very convenient to go anywhere within walking distance. The service is warm and attentive!

The lady...is a Lady and she was kind attentive generous and I felt completely welcomed...it was as if I was staying at a living relative. Although the room was small the bathroom was ample. The room gad a query nook area by one of the two window areas...the view of the water was calming and simple, I could hear the birds in the shady trees outside my tall romantic window setting. The whole place was spotless and fresh smelling ...the bed comfortable. All looked new. It was near to everything. If I have to want anything it is a disposable shower cap. She allowed me to take her tea-Kettle to my room for my convenience which added to my comfort. Although we did not speak the same language we understood each other. I would love to return again soon. Thanks much 😊

The hotel is next to the university, it is very convenient to play, the hotel is located on the mountain, from the train station to the hotel, it is better to call a taxi!

Good location just next to Praça do Comércio. Some complained about the claustrophobic nature of the room without windows but I think its fine as the only time I spent in was to sleep. The price is good and room is clean and with good location are all I asked for and the hotel fulfills all that. The people there is friendly and tried to help as they could, an added plus. Will stay there again if I come back to coimbra.

Lovely place to stay in Coimbra.some rooms are not that comfortae but some are spectacular. We stayed one night in a small one and was not that comfortable as the room is indeed very small. However, next night we were in a bigger room and it was spectacular. The breakfast is served in the room but thats a turn off as its mostly carb (sugar). But overall a good experience.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Coimbra Monumentais.  The location is absolutely perfect being so close to the steps up to the University.  The facilities were fine.  My only suggestion for improvement is to automatically send the check in information rather than asking us to ask for it.  I missed that point in the reservation.  Most of our stays were with Air BnB and they automatically send the information a day or two in advance.  We came to the back door (the 7A address) and had an issue with getting in.  Once in, we were very well looked after.  Thanks so much to Mariannna!

Great location and closeness to a grocery store. The rooms seem a little bit outdated but are spacious and quiet when you close the doors to the balcony. The staff is helpful and knows English and Spanish if your Portuguese is not that good.
