The area was under construction and I guess it was grad weekend, but that’s not the fault of the hotel itself - the only real problem with the hotel was very thin walls. The customer service was awesome and the rooms were good for the price!

This was our second time at this hotel. April 2023 and now (October 2023). The construction in front of the hotel is not a big deal. We just happened to be here during University week, so it was noisy and couldn’t drive to the hotel because the road was closed until 9:00 pm. Then there was a concert from at 2:00 to 5:00 am (yes, am in the morning), so needless to say, we didn’t get much sleep. Moral of the story, don’t stay here if you come during University week (happens twic a year).

We loved the location, just a few minute walk to the main part of old town and just under the university. Part of the road and park in front were under construction so that limited convenient access to the riverfront park (nothing to do with the hotel). We had a Citroen 9 pax van and getting it in/out of the parking garage was VERY nerve racking and do not recommend trying to get a van in or out. Small/medium cars should be no problem. Rooms are very small and difficult to get comfortable with 2 travelers and luggage. Breakfast was typical of the other 6 hotels we stayed in on this trip, not bad, just the same.

Functional and clean, but no frills
A very standard, albeit dated, Ibis property. Do not expect any magic and you won’t be disappointed. The room was very basic but functional; rather clean (though there were crumbs left under the bed and the shower had some old stains). We had a room turned away from the river (with a view of the city), and it was very quiet at night. Wifi works like a charm. My only qualm is the shower - water pressure was very weak.

Air conditioning does not work, cell tower on roof
I can review 2 rooms since I changed room and both rooms have a TERRIBLE problem with their air conditioning system: it does not work. On a very hot day you are better off sitting outside, literally. Room 112 was the worst of the 2 (the air con was making only noise but no cooling) although it was a little larger. Also they need to stop using bleach to clean the toilets because the bleach smell, given that there is no air conditioning, is choking. The beds were comfortable but they were extremely pathetic in giving only 2 skimpy pillows. Room 112 had smelly pillows (you know, when many have slept on them with sweat which needs to be properly washed away) but room 402 did not. Room 112 was also a little dirty (bathroom). Room 402 was all clean. Both rooms gave paper cups (for what? There was no kettle nor coffee maker) but they were NOT sealed, so they looked used. Yuk. In the bathroom you only have 2 thin and small towels, really unacceptable. Room 402 is too small for 2 people while room 112 is slightly larger, but both small. The lady at reception was extremely nice and tried to help, but she could not make miracles of course. Coimbra has several low quality hotels and even the better ones are not as good as in other Portugal towns, considering the price. I stayed in 2 rooms. 402 and 112. 402 was right by their roof cell tower, so I asked to be moved and was given (the following day) room 112, which is below the cell tower (but they both gave me a headache).

The location of the property is good, near the river and the main walking district. The university is also within walking distance. The rooms are very small and not convenient to unpack and store items within reach. The bed was comfortable, and the shower worked well. Breakfast was adequate, and seating was plentiful. Refill of items was handled quickly. Food was average. Elevators worked as expected and were suitable in size. The parking garage was difficult to get around, very tight corners, and emerging onto a very busy street, plus the exit was one a significant hill, making in and out difficult. Overall, I rate our stay as average.

A nice hotel in easy walking distance from the university and UNESCO attractions there, as well as fado performances. A small room, very cramped for 2 single beds and 2 people. The parking underground is very tight, I would to have wanted to drive anything but a very small car into there and out of there. On street parking nearby but you have to pay for daytime parking. Nice people at hotel and good breakfast.

Very nice, basic hotel. No frills (have to buy water at front desk, none provided, only two towels plus extra in the closet, no hand towels, only two pillows plus extra in the closet). Lots of power outlets, great food in the café, staff was very nice and friendly, clean and well maintained. Very comfortable bed for a good night sleep after all the amazing hill climbing to explore the city. Location by the river would have been great except for all the construction happening across the street (not the hotel’s fault).

Picked this hotel because of location and availability of parking. Parking rate is 6 or 7 euros per 24 hours. Location is only a couple blocks from main square.
