We chose this hotel because their Expedia led with "free shuttle into Coimbra" but don't count on using it!!! you MUST book the shuttle AT LEAST one hour in advance of the few times it is actually scheduled to run. "Front desk girl told us No exceptions" That's not just for availability of getting 1 of the 5 seats on it, that's to actually book getting it to run. And the last run back to hotel is pretty early.) Better to stay IN Counbra. Taxi cost us 6€ each way. No walkway into Coimbra, it's all highway. We checked into hotel 30 minutes before shuttle was scheduled to depart but since no one else had booked the shuttle, there Was No shuttle! Otherwise, decent hotel.
