Coimbra City Centre

"We had a wonderful stay at Story Studio Coimbra! The room was exceptionally clean, modern, and thoughtfully set up. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a lovely snack basket filled with fresh bread, cheese, and local treats—such a warm and personal touch! Even though it's an apartment without a formal front desk, the hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating. They let us leave our luggage right inside the room after check-out so we could comfortably explore the city for the afternoon. Their...

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Coimbra. The accommodation is very large and is well-located with easy access to the city centre by car, transit or a little longer walk. Suite is well appointed and the check in and check out process were hassle free. The host, Ricardo, provided good information for our stay and made special provision when we arrived at a little different time than we expected. Highly recommend!"

Top Coimbra Hotel Reviews

Hotel Oslo

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was clean, comfortable and in a fantastic location. Onsite parking was convenient. Paulo at the front desk was a phenomenal guide. He was incredibly informative and helpful and helped us get the most of our one night stay in Coimbra. I’d stay there again just because of him. Overall, our experience at Oslo was great. The rooms are small so if you’re travelling with kids, it’s not practical. For two people in a room, it’s tight but manageable. Would stay there again as it’s walkable to the best areas of the city."

Vila Gale Coimbra Hotel
