Moderna

Mediocre, the entrance is outright daunting. Like entering a shopping centre. First thought, omg what have I booked. Friendly staff, elevator, very basic small room and so decided to go elsewhere after one night. Location is good though.

A centrally located spot that does the job with a few quirks. The atmosphere is calm, the staff friendly and helpful, and the location solid—walking distance to everything you need: bars, restaurants, markets and sites. My room was comfortable, but the plastic mattress and pillow cover gave me pause—felt like a quiet nod to possible bedbug battles past. Clean, minimalist and compact bathroom and a small balcony that begged for a chair but offered none. The building itself sits tucked inside a small shopping center, which has its own charm if you squint. Locals hang out nearby at night, chatting and playing music—it’s lively, not disruptive. Wi-Fi was moody. Fair price for what you get, but a few touches would elevate the experience.

After struggling through disappointing & misleading AirBnBs, we found this little gem of a hotel. Great staff, clean rooms, great location, good price, air conditioning, everything you might want for a short stay in Coimbra.
