Lock in a great price for Sapientia Boutique Hotel - rated 9.3 by recent guests.

to get started.

It was an awesome A+ location, very comfortable and we enjoyed the views from the 6 th floor apartment Long wait for check in and the following day for check out. The staff was overly taxed.

Serena, USA

Sapientia Boutique Hotel is just lovely - from the moment you walk thru the patio. There was major construction on the road that the property is on and at the main entrance, but the staff was over the top in making sure your inconvenience was minimal. The rooftop terrace was excellent for viewing the sunset. Loved being right at the college and lots of good restaurants.

Mary, USA

Exceptional staff, we had wonderful service from beginning to end. The boys in the restaurant made our stay perfect, great attention to detail, very genuine care taken to ensure my husband had a great birthday dinner. We ate at the hotel both nights and the atmosphere, service and food all excellent. At breakfast there was lots of choice, all appealingly displayed and kept us full all day. The opportunity to enjoy a glass of wine at 6pm is a great idea too. The outdoor space is very inviting too. Our studio was super comfy, crisp linens and fluffy towels. Amazing views across the river and the university. We slept so well, super quiet. Highly recommend this wonderful hotel and the wonderful staff who really go the extra mile.

Melanie, Portugal

Old building that has been sensitively updated into a modern minimalist style. Good location near the university and a walk down to the restaurant area.

Diana, South Africa

Location is great, very near Coimbra university. Boss & Staff is really really really nice and help us a lot. I regret to only stay one night. Hope to stay longer next time.

Qiang, China

Staff were really welcoming and helpful. Location beside university was great.

Mary, United Kingdom

We loved how accomodating both the concierge and the chef were to us. We arrived late and were starving, and the chef, Joel, offered us drinks, Portugeuse tarts, and fired up the stove again to whip up a delicious meal. He also went the extra mile in making us feel welcome, tell a few jokes and give us information. Very well-located hotel with great interior decoration! We would definitely stay here again!

The local building work had a detrimental impact on our stay, would recommend not booking till work is completed. Very steep uneven walk into town which made exploring the city a bit off-putting.
This is a lovely hotel, very design led but very comfortable. At the moment there is a lot of construction work around the hotel that makes access very difficult. The staff did their best to compensate and we were upgraded to a lovely suite. Wait until the construction work is finished!

Physical access to the hotel (due to long-term infrastructure improvements-performed by the city) precludes the possibility of calling this a hotel fit for purpose.
Potential for the future is phenomenal.

There was construction going on which did not impact sleeping, only made it less convenient to access the hotel's front entrance.
The breakfast that was offered felt very "homemade," using fresh, local ingredients. The staff made me feel very welcome and were attentive without being overbearing.
