Cheap Hotels in Coimbra

"Easy check-in, room I stayed was spacious with a small balcony. Room facility can be improved (I prefer mug rather than paper cup), but the room has a hairdryer, electric kettle, small fridge so it was comfortable stay overall."

"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."

"Hotel restaurant is very good. The breakfast had a decent variety specially taking into account the price per night.  The rooms are new but they are poorly insulated when it comes to noise, you can hear everything going on outside. If someone closes the door, you hear it like its your room."

"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."

"While the soundproofing was a bit lacking, I was generally satisfied. The front desk staff were friendly and proficient in English, which was a plus. However, be careful as water tends to splash out of the shower stall during a shower (the drainage isn't great). I regret not using the pool facilities, as the water was surprisingly clean. There's a spacious paid parking area with electric vehicle charging available."

"The room is nice , location is good and access to everywhere. The reception is super nice and helpful, one of the best English speaking people during my whole travel in Portugal."

"The parking lot outside the hotel says that the hotel is dedicated, but the hotel said that they don't know what the situation is. It is recommended to park in the parking lot downstairs. There is no place to eat nearby. The facilities are generally old."

"The hotel reception was poor, no effort was made to inform us of the hotel’s amenities or location of the amenities. The port wine at the reception was on display but was never offered to us or the other guests. The cleaning staff were very friendly, congratulations. The heating unit was located outside near the window of the room and was surprisingly loud. The worst of all was a male guest using the sauna and steam room while completely *****! Shocking lack of hygiene!!!"
