Hotel Astoria

10/10 Excellent
"Where do we start. This was a fabulous hotel. Everything we expected and hoped for. Sonia looked after us from the moment we arrived and we could not have wished for a better host. If you want a modern hotel with square rooms and satellite TV, this is not the place for you. Keeping the style of its initial build 100 years ago makes this place very special from the opulence of the residents lounge, the ship like dining room and the rooms which are old but well cared for. We were fortunate to have a room facing the river with large balcony doors and air conditioning. The breakfast was exceptional. We dropped one star on the amenities only because it would have been nice to have a bar. To be fair there is an honesty bar but its not the same. Deserves all 5 stars overall and we re already looking at dates to return."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Sé Nova?
The best area to stay in Sé Nova, Coimbra District, is generally around the University of Coimbra and the surrounding historic centre.This area is the heart of Coimbra, offering a blend of historic charm and academic energy. It's characterised by its narrow, winding streets, historic buildings, and impressive views over the city and the Mondego River. Key landmarks include the Old Cathedral (Sé Velha) and the New Cathedral (Sé Nova), as well as the Joanina Library. Many hotels here are within converted historic buildings, offering a unique stay.Couples looking for a romantic and culturally rich experience will find this area particularly appealing. You can enjoy strolls through the university grounds, visit the Fado ao Centro for an authentic Fado show, and dine at traditional Portuguese restaurants tucked away in the historic alleys. The botanical gardens are also a lovely spot for a relaxed afternoon.For those travelling with families, staying slightly downhill towards the riverside, near the Parque Verde do Mondego, offers a good balance. This area provides easier access to green spaces for children to play, while still being a short walk or funicular ride up to the historic centre.
When is the best time to go to Sé Nova?
The best time to go to Sé Nova is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to October) months, when the weather is pleasantly mild and the city is less crowded.Spring offers comfortable temperatures ranging from 15°C to 22°C, great for exploring the city's hills and historic sites. You'll find the botanical gardens in full bloom, and the academic atmosphere is particularly engaging as the university term is in full swing. This period is ideal for couples who enjoy leisurely strolls and outdoor dining without the intense summer heat.Autumn also provides agreeable weather, with temperatures typically between 18°C and 25°C. The city maintains a lively feel with students returning, but the main tourist rush of summer has subsided. This is a great time for solo travellers interested in history and culture, as you can comfortably visit attractions like the University of Coimbra and the Old Cathedral without long queues. The slightly cooler evenings are great for enjoying the local cuisine.While summer (June to August) is popular for its warmth, temperatures can often exceed 30°C, which might be too hot for extensive sightseeing.
