There is no hotel parking at this hotel. We parked on the street near the university and had our car towed! Cost $€170 to get car back. The hotel receptionists were super helpful in translating Portuguese to English and helping us get the car back. Many thanks to them! The location of this hotel is otherwise excellent. Very close to university and botanical gardens. Many good restaurants close by too.

The bed is quite uncomfortable, an old mattress where you can feel every spring and the bed very squeaky. It gets quite warm with the Sun and want to keep the window open but it's overlooking a noisy street and even at night there were many very noisy students shouting all night. I banged my head on the bathroom door, the frame is quite low! The wifi wasn't too good and kept disconnecting, maybe it's the room, it was the far end.
The location is very good, close to the historic centre. The staff is very nice. They gave us the map of Coimbra and recommended good places to go and see and eat; the dinner we had in one of the places was tasty and very cheap!

“Cheap accommodation with no expectations...”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
I felt that the pictures are a bit misleading. Although the room was kind of clean, the building is a very old one with really old doors. We booked with private bathroom but basically the bathroom is some sort of separated space within the room but is not 100% decoupled from the room because part of the sealing is the same as the room. So you can hear (and smell) anything from the bathroom. I guess you get what you pay for...
The location and the price were great.

Although the hostel was well located, it was unfortunate that the noise of traffic driving over the cobbled road was quite loud. Not a problem for us but might not be suitable for light sleepers.
The staff were very hospitable and helpful. This hostel was very good value for money.
