Top Sé Nova Hotel Reviews

Hotel Mondego

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed for one night. Everything was as expected. Breakfast had lots of options. Beds were clean and confortable. Very well situated. A straight walk from bus ration, many restaurants around and closed to attractions,"

Hotel Oslo

8/10 Good

"Staff were helpful and friendly. We had free parking which was a bonus! We enjoyed the roof top terrace. The room had good amenities but was starting to show some age."

Quinta Das Lagrimas

8/10 Good

"The hotel is easy to find and has a lot of car parking available. My stay was relatively short so I was unable to fully explore the grounds, facilities and amenities. This is an older property which could benefit from some updating and refurbishment. However, my room size was very large, the bed comfortable and bathroom very spacious. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, even escorting me to my room. The breakfast buffet was extensive and impressive but I did not have an opportunity to eat an evening meal in the restaurant. This hotel is a 25 minute walk into the centre of Coimbra but I did not find this a problem. Overall, this is a superior hotel in Coimbra and I will have no hesitation in returning again. My colleagues chose to stay in other hotels in the centre, which were not nearly as good or comfortable, so I was pleased with my choice."

Hotel Astoria

10/10 Excellent

"A well placed hotel for visiting the city. Lovely art deco designs are everywhere, and the hotel has real character. Arriving during a yellow warning heatwave, the air conditioning in the room made for a pleasant night’s sleep. Breakfast was quiet varied, with a hot food option in the form of bacon and eggs. The real highlight was the help we received from the hotel staff. They were engaging, and able to answer our queries about where places were, and how to get about using the public transport in and around the city. Certainly worth staying here."

Solar Antigo Luxury Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a 17th century building and the room was really cool. There’s a big round style jetted tub in the room. That was also really nice after a long day of walking. My favorite part was breakfast brought to our room in a big basket."

Vila Gale Coimbra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay in a gorgeous place. Dinner was superb and breakfast unmatched. We highly recommend it. The location was perfect, easy walks to all the important sites."

Bussaco Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

ibis Coimbra Centro

8/10 Good

"Staff was very helpful. The room felt a bit dated, but it was cheap so I cannot complain. I would have liked to have a safe in the room, but that's not a huge problem. Location was good, near major churches and the university. Overall good."

Zero Box Lodge Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and value. Very small room but functional. Nice AC and water pressure."

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.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
