Solar Antigo Luxury Coimbra

Someone had fun renovating and decorating this old house! The furnishings were certainly unique and chosen for style rather than practicality - mostly they managed both. For instance, the TV doubling as a mirror was a new one to us. The bathtub in the center of the room looked good but I had no particular need for it. The shower worked well but was a little cramped. The bed was great, the wi-fi was good, the a/c worked well. On the top floor, we had 51 stairs to our bed - we were OK with that but prepared! The breakfast, delivered by basket at the time of choice was healthy and fresh but rather lack-luster and the same every day. Parking - I made sure I did not drive on the actual street of the hotel - it looks quite dangerous for non-locals! I parked temporarily on Rua Padre Antonio Vieira for unloading (pay by a machine), then moved to near the church at the top of the hill where, surprisingly, there is no payment. Once finding my spot there, I preferred to walk in Coimbra.

Fun relaxing spot in Coimbra. Liked · The hotel is hidden away but very close to the university and nearby cafes. There is little bar across the street that doesn't look so good but it's a nice place for a drink and not too noisy. It has a lovely view from the back window. The front window looks over the street. Both windows have shutters to block the noise from surrounding area. Fun decor, you might ask for a demo of the hot tub. It's not hard but a little confusing.

Everything was wonderful, we had a really warm welcome by the staff. The room is exceptional, you feel you are in a chalet/castle room, the design and amenities was perfect, the bed was just perfect very comfortable, the room has AC, an small area with a sofa with a really nice view, the shower is big and very modern but so well integrated with room design. All was very clean and the breakfast is the best, you must experience so. And just when nothing could be better the staff brought a cake to celebrate my birthday with out any advice. Thanks girls for such nice experience! The best staff I have met.

Don’t be fooled by appearances. It may be a little over the top, but this is a great hotel. It is what I call a fun place to stay and the location is perfect. It is comfortable and pristine clean. The room is roomy. Breakfast is delivered in a basket to your room every morning at your chosen time. There is bread, scrambled eggs, yogurt, fruit, Ham and cheese, coffee, and orange juice, plus butter and jam. The staff are 10+. Always helpful. And trust me you are going to love Coimbra. Go to a Fado performance. You can spend most of a day at the University. Don’t miss the Roman Museum. We found a restaurant we liked so much we ate there 3 days in a row. It is Tapas nas Costas Bistro. This is seriously good food. We were trying to eat everything on the menu. About a 10 minute walk from the hotel.

Everything felt luxurious from the moment we stepped through the front door. Top floor room so the views were fantastic across the city and was well above our expectations. Clean, extravagant and well thought out room that we didn’t want to leave. Could have stayed here forever. Roll top bath in centre of room was a lovely addition and breakfast basket delivered in the morning was above excellent and more than we could eat. Would highly recommended this hotel to anyone
