Top Coimbra Hotel Reviews

Hotel Astoria

Hotel Astoria

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect location for tourist activities. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and very helpful. We appreciated their English language skills because our Portuguese is very limited. The hotel is of another era and transported us back in time with its old world charm, although maybe a little faded from its heyday. The many historic photos of the hotel and others in the same hotel group were fun to look at. The breakfast was VERY good with a wide selection of hot and cold options. The room included an entrance area separating the bathroom and bedroom, and were well appointed. We felt pampered. We also had a nice view of the downtown area and beyond from our room. We would definitely stay again on a return trip to Coimbra!"

What luxury activities and experiences are there in Coimbra?
The best areas to stay in Coimbra are the historic centre, particularly around the University of Coimbra, and the more modern Santa Clara district across the river.

The historic centre, crowned by the University of Coimbra, offers a deep dive into the city's past. It's a maze of narrow, cobbled streets winding up to the university's impressive Baroque library and chapel. You'll find a mix of traditional shops, Fado houses, and restaurants tucked away in its lanes, with the Sé Velha (Old Cathedral) a prominent landmark.

Couples often enjoy the historic centre for its romantic appeal. Staying here means you're just steps away from the university's historic buildings and can easily explore the botanic garden or catch a Fado performance in the evening. The elevated position also offers lovely views over the city, especially from around the university grounds.

For those who prefer a slightly more open and contemporary feel, the Santa Clara district, on the left bank of the Mondego River, is a good option. It's flatter and offers excellent views back towards the historic centre. Here you'll find modern hotels, riverside walks, and the beautiful Mosteiro de Santa Clara-a-Velha.

Families might find Santa Clara more convenient due to its generally wider pavements and easier access to riverside parks for children.
