Great stay and great location. Staff were warm and friendly. I did not have a chance to visit some local restaurants because of all the steps and steep hills but, luckily for me and my family, the onsite restaurant was A+. Delicious food offered for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is the place to stay at in Coimbra.

Everything was excellent apart from the cheap and nasty toilet paper. What a shame to provide such a poor quality bathroom paper when everything else is eo well done.
