Hotel Astória

Die Lage ist sehr zentral, am Rand der Altstadt, 10 Min. zu Fuß zur Kathedrale, Universität.

Keine Bar, kein Restaurant, keine Parkplätze

Schönes Haus (Jugendstil, auch in der Inneneinrichtung), original und gut gepflegt, wo nötig behutsam und passend ergänzt; dadurch Alter als Tradition und Echtheit erfahrbar. Rundumerneuerung auf Hochglanz wäre der Todesstoß für seinen Charme. Prominente und zentrale Lage (rückwärtige Seite ruhig). Gutes Frühstück.

Ein interessantes Hotel mit dem Charme der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der Frühstücksraum ist absolut sehenswert.

Das Personal an Rezeption ud im frühstücksraum war extrem muffelig, kaum dass einem Guten Morgen gesagt wurde. Insgesamt herrschte eine depressive Athmoshäre. Das Personal ist evtl. deshalb nicht sehr motiviert freundlich zu sein, weil das sehr alte und ehemals noble Hotel wirtschaftliche Schwierigkeiten hat.

We liked the fact that the 1920s style had been retained. It was quaint, unusual and had atmosphere, breakfast was good, plus it is a beautiful building in keeping with the town, in an excellent location.

Neither the restaurant nor the bar was open which was a great pity. The carpets throughout really need to be replaced as they look dirty (which we had read in online reviews), and we would have liked a double bed instead of two singles.

the location is ok in the center near the river. breakfast was quite fine.

the room- due to the really old and worn out carpet and furniture the room gave the sensation of dirty. the walls must have been of paper because i heard every word the neighbours said. in general the rooms do not have quality of a 3* hotel although the entrance hall is pretty nice. the hotel has no parking and you have to search for a space in public parking areas on the street.

very friendly and helpful staff, a very good location, some hotel rooms have views of the river

The charm and atmosphere of the hotel make for a unique stay. Breakfast room is also full of character and the buffet was well equipped. Location is superb,close enough to walk to all the sights but room was still very quiet. A very special hotel for its design, charm and quirkiness, (very like a hotel straight from an Agatha Christie film) Overall very enjoyable stay.

the view to the river is amazing, the location is great

one can see the age of the hotel

The locatiopn of the hotel is great, especially for those who are visiting Coimbra. You could basically walk everywhere worth seeing. The building and the decoration (not that I particularly like classical furniture) are nostalgic, very nice. Rooms are spacious. Not many of these are left , especially for this prize.

They did not know about the reservation through booking.com. I had to enter into my internet address and show them the reservation mail from booking.com. They had rooms available, so there was not problem at the end, but there could have been. The service is so slow, which is especially distressing when you have a little baby, but it is always like that in Portugal!

I was very impressed with the level of comfort and location to local ameneties. The Hotel had a pleasant and professional staff and the breakfast was excerlent. The parking was not a problem thanks to the local parking attendants.

The style of the hotel is almost Art Decor a real throw back but lovely Location is very good This is my second visit and I will go back

The only problem was the restuarant was not open for evening meals which is a real shame

The breakfast was good, with good variety.

The hotel is so shabby, worn and dirty, it is difficult to sit in a chair, either in the public areas or in the hotel room. Your information said it had passed its peak -- that is an understatement. Work needs to be done to bring this up to a one star rating.
