Hotel Vitória

Our train from Lisbon arrived in Coimbra almost an hour late due to the strike, but Clara’s welcoming smile and warm hospitality immediately made us feel at ease. The room was spacious, comfortable mattress and pillows. The location is excellent, close to everything, tourist sites, food, cafés (João dos Leitões with its famous suckling pig is just a 5-minute walk), and shops. Breakfast was lovely! Most of the fruits came fresh from the owner’s garden, and the jams were homemade. I especially loved the quince marmelada—made by the owner herself, such a true labour of love. A big thanks to Raquel, who brightened the breakfast room each morning with her sunshine smile and interesting conversation. Hope to be back for a longer stay next time!

Our train from Lisbon was almost an hour late due to the strike, but Clara’s warm welcome instantly made us feel at home. The room was spacious and comfy, with two joined king beds and soft pillows. Great location, close to tourist sites, 15 minutes to Coimbra University, cafés, shops, and restaurants. Breakfast was lovely, with fresh fruits from the owner’s garden and homemade jams. I especially loved the quince marmelada, made by the owner herself, what a labour of love! Thanks to Raquel for her sunshine smile and friendly chats each morning and when we arrived afer late lunch. Hope to be back for a longer stay!

Great location. Nice room. Spent two nights. Near shuttle to train station and lots of restaurant options. Room could have used a dresser. There is certainly enough room for one. Windows are excellent. Decent breakfast. Friendly staff. Would stay again.
