I had a delightful stay at this boutique hotel, where the friendly and helpful staff made me feel right at home. The excellent location allowed easy access to the University of Coimbra and local attractions. I especially enjoyed the complimentary wine hour, which added a lovely social touch to the evenings. On the downside, I found the bathroom lighting not ideal for getting ready. Overall, a charming place with lovely amenities and good value for the money.

The friendly staff went above and beyond, and I especially enjoyed the beautiful rooftop views while sipping wine during the complimentary hour. The location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions, but the dining experience could have been better with a wider variety of breakfast options. Overall, it provided good value for money and a cozy atmosphere.

The staff is exceptionally welcoming and provides great local recommendations to enhance your stay. While I enjoyed the breakfast options and quality of food, I did feel that the dining experience could be enhanced further.
