Descubra sua estadia em Almedina

Me at 72 years, accustomed to traditional hotels couldn´t resist to stay here. Looked crazy enough to dare. And it is different. The rooms aka boxes are what was promised, comfortable bed, and a bathroom large enough. Friendly, helpful and engaged people working there. The breakfast was like the rooms, very small. Half size bread etc didn´t match the €6 pricetag. Overall it was a strange but pleasent experience. Very much because of the personal.

We stayed in very nice hotels on our Portugal trip. The ”stories” are mostly about how easy they were to reach and how convenient they were for parking. ”Reaching” this one involved a 15-minute re-route, but once we took the right turn, parking was a breeze! The hotel sits opposite the retaining wall of the university above it. Guests can park all along the wall on the alley approaching the hotel and then place a parking permit on their dash. Finding the hotel in the first place was trickier! GPS had us approaching it. We were SO close! But we missed the last narrow, alley-like turn. Suddenly we had a 15-minute re-route until we could approach the hotel again. Play very close attention to your GPS!! Nice location. Nice room. Nice breakfast. Helpful staff.

The rooms are air-conditioned with warm and cold air, very clean and tidy, and the hot water is great. The ventilation fan in the toilet will automatically turn off at night and turn on during the day. Three languages are spoken at the front desk and the service is also very good. Overall the price/performance ratio is very good, the room can see the Mondego River, opposite the park, there is Burger King nearby, and the central street of Coimbra is 5 minutes' walk away. European hotels do not provide toiletries and there are no slippers in the rooms. Very satisfied.

Fantástica localização , da para ir a pé a universidade para visitar a Biblioteca Joanina e a capela de São Miguel a curta caminhada , por estar mais próximo não há muito morro a subir . Tem estacionamento , não necessita reserva , é gratuito , há elevador a partir da garagem . Quarto confortável , silencioso ,café da manhã de acordo , com boas opções . Os funcionários são destaque , atenciosos e atentos a dificuldade . Tivemos um problema na chegada que a princípio nao havia sido localizado a reserva , mas depois foi localizado . Porém nesse período de checagem agradecemos as funcionárias que nos atenderam no horário da chegada , em especial a Magda que foi proativa em resolver a dificuldade e ter o quarto a nossa disposição juntamente com a garagem .

It’s special but in an extremely good way. We booked this hotel in order to have a once in a lifetime experience sleeping in a Hästens bed. The hotel is located right in the middle of Coimbra, hence the access is through the pedestrian zone which you can access by car for unloading your luggage. Parking can be done across the bridge at the parking lot of the stadium. The entrance is located next to the playful sardine shop which you can find throughout the major cities in Portugal. It looks a bit hidden as the reception doesn’t look like a reception, tho and you might miss it. The whole building is decorated and designed in full detail and high quality. So are the rooms. The moment you walk in there is this wow-factor. And you need to look twice to recognize the shower. Roof top has an incredible great view of the river. Breakfast is great and we enjoyed it very much, so it is limited and served with an etagere but we liked it. Staff is always friendly and happy to help. Shout out to Lara from reception. She’s doing an incredible great job, has great recommendations for lunch and dinner and it was always a pleasure to talk with her. As far the Hästens bed: hand’t had the best sleep as indicated in the promo video but also not the worst. It was good sleep, tho.
