"This is a quirky property in a good way and a fabulous location close to the university. They are stairs down to the city centre and and an elevator/funicular just a minute from the property if needed. The staff were truly wonderful. At check-in, they made recommendations for walkable restaurants including one only a minute away, which ended up being the best restaurant meal of our 30 day trip. A staff member came to walk us through the amenities including the big Jacuzzi tub and the mini fridge with water, juice, and beer that was replenished daily. They also delivered two glasses of bubbly and some beautiful homemade cake to welcome us. I know all the rooms are quite different and of course, we only saw our own. The entrance to ours was from the outside so we had no stairs to deal with. We loved all the big exposed beams and beautiful brick work on the walls and the ceiling. We are on the taller side and we did whack our heads a couple of times on the lower beams :-). I think that some of the other rooms off the ground level have higher ceilings so you probably contact the property directly if this was a concern. Another lovely touch was the breakfast basket that got delivered every day with an assortment of pastries, cereal, some scrambled eggs, fruit/juice. It was also quirky but it got a little something into us before we started the day. If we were ever back in Coimbra I would rebook at this property immediately."

"Really appreciated the warm welcome and offer of a drink from the staff upon our arrival. Also, the unique and gracious personal welcome letter the staff had written which was in our room. They were most helpful throughout our stay with info regarding restaurants, directions, parking, sights to see, etc. "
