The Luggage is a beautiful property however my family of 4 adults was assigned to stay at the attic so the ceiling is an angled rooftop the beds are underneath you can easily bump your head anytime. Uncomfortable beds specifically bumpy pillows need an upgrade. Had difficulty carrying our luggage up n down the room no elevator. Otherwise good breakfast with fresh fruits, walk to University, parked our luggage after checkout. Glad we only have to stay for one night. I’ll give it a rating of 3.5.

Great location and more!

My room was very clean and comfortable and had everything I needed. I particularly liked the breakfast room and the breakfast they had which was about €10 and very much worth it. The breakfast room is sunny and has a view that is so lovely. The neighborhood is great and very close to the university. I thought the staff was very nice and accommodating. They were good hosts.

This historic building-turned-inn is terrific. It has been remodeled with all the modern conveniences while maintaining all of its old world charm. Suites are large with immensely high ceilings and huge bathrooms, common seating areas abound, the buffet breakfast is delicious, and it's within walking distance to the historic Coimbra university and botanical gardens. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

Spacious

The hotel itself is nice. In a older building but in good condition. We found the staff friendly and willing to offer advice. The downside is there is no dedicated parking. We had to find parking on a near by side street which was not optimal. Also the hotel is not within easy walking distance so an uber will probably be neccessary

Place was very nice. The only problem is the stairs. There is no elevator. Also it is on a hilly road. That was difficult to walk. We had to take Uber everywhere because of those hilly roads.

Convenientemente bien ubicado, la recepción de Tony cordial, rápida, eficiente y llena de información sobre Coimbra. La habitación familiar amplia, desafortunadamente se sale mucho el agua de la ducha. Desayuno completo y bueno. Las instalaciones bien conservadas, bonito lugar en lo que anteriormente fue una estación de policía. Estacionamiento fuera en la calle de enfrente de pago y en una calle lateral gratis. Cercano 20 minutos de la zona turística.
