Beautiful place. Lots of unique decor. Shower was good, bed was a little soft for us. My parents' room struggled to stay cool. It is next to a prison, just fyi. It did not bother us. Actually we felt a bit safer because of this, but we were surprised. Parking on the street was easy and free. No elevator so be ready to climb some stairs. Pictures on the website showed suspended beds and rooms. We booked two rooms and did not get one of these rooms, even with the room of 3 people. They just scooted an extra bed in with the main bed. So it was tight quarters. I had thought we would get a separate sleeping area from our daughter. It was fine, but I thought I was getting a 2 different bed areas. Overall, very nice place and would stay again if it were just 2 of us.

La struttura si presenta molto bene all’esterno, scenografica, il personale cortese ma la stanza era umida, c’era un forte odore di muffa ed il bagno in stanza con una porta in vetro neanche a chiudere il tutto non permetteva la giusta intimità

Cool historic building

Nice play away from tourist hubbub but still close enough to everything in Coimbra. We were on a road trip and there was plenty of street parking nearby. The only downside: an optional breakfast they offer. It was only okay and I'd skip it - better options are probably available nearby.

No hay ascensor, lo que deberia quedar claro en la descripción de las intalaciones, pues el hotel no es adecuado para personas con movilidad reducida. El resto, bien.

El edifico es precioso, todo bien cuidado y la ubicacion cercana a la universidad. La unica pega para mi es que esta situado al lado de un centro penitenciario, al que dan algunas de las habitaciones. Habra gente a la que no le importe o que puede sentirse incomoda

He estado una noche en una habitación doble superior, perfecta, espaciosa y muy limpia, la pega es que estaba junto a la puerta de acceso nocturna y se oía a la gente entrar y salir. La zona muy tranquila, se puede aparcar frente al hotel. Buen desayuno. Repetiría sin duda

Ett väldigt mysigt och trevligt rum. Det var rent och hade en hög bekvämlighet. Vi använde oss av det lilla pentryt som kunde vara mer utrustat och vi saknade att ha en kokplatta. I det stora hela en mycket bekväm och fin vistelse.

Concept is boutique style apartments . Air conditioning didn’t work it was 82 degrees during the day . Luckily it was 70 at night in Coimbra . Matress was hard and room was small and cramped . Felt like a small cabin on a cruise ship . Area was very walkable and central . The breakfast was continental. The property was nice on the lobby and grounds but not worth the price( high season)

We had a pleasant stay in Casa Sao de Bento. The place is well located near a park, in close proximity to the university so one can expect a little noise when students hold special functions. It is a lively area, family friendly. Expect to walk uphill and there is no lift to bedrooms, but the staff was very helpful. We recommend the breakfast offer; it is very reasonably priced and offers plentiful choice.
