Hotel Astoria offers a nostalgic step back into the early 1900s, boasting an unbeatable location with bus stops at the front door and easy walking distance to local shops, restaurants, and the world-famous University of Coimbra. The property captures the elegance of a bygone era through its charming guest lounging area and a unique historic elevator complete with a built-in seat. Guests can enjoy a hearty breakfast and friendly service, and those staying in Room 407 will be treated to a truly fantastic view of the river.
However, the vintage charm of Room 407 comes with significant physical drawbacks. The bathroom is exceptionally tight, resulting in several instances of bumping my head on a shelf while using the toilet, and the lack of a vent leads to uncomfortably high humidity. More concerning was a persistent, musty organic smell that the hotel attempted to mask with heavy scented deodorizers, which unfortunately triggered my asthma. Additionally, a safety hazard exists at the room’s entrance where an uneven floor height caused my husband to sprain his ankle.
While the hotel is a gem for history lovers, I would not stay in Room 407 again unless these issues are remediated. For those exploring the area's architecture, the hotel is perfectly positioned to visit local landmarks featuring stunning blue tile work, including the nearby Igreja de Santa Cruz, the University’s Capela de São Miguel, the hilltop Igreja de Santo António dos Olivais, and the historic Sé Nova. Go for the location and the staff, but be mindful of the structural quirks of the older rooms.

We stayed two nights in apartment 2.2 - one bedroom with a small office room which has a desk and single bed. Location was great, being right off the main pedestrian strip in the old town area, so very atmospheric and convenient for restaurants. Check-in is at Hotel Oslo, about 4min walk away so you will have to walk with your luggage for a few minutes, including up some stairs. The apartment building also does not have a lift, so you will need to be able to carry your luggage up stairs within the building. I don't think you would be able to call an Uber or taxi to the street in front of the building as it is very narrow so bear this in mind. Some other minor points I noticed about the apartment which you may find helpful:
- It directly faces another building on a narrow street, so the apartment doesn't really get natural sunlight
- There is a washer but no dryer - it took a whole day for our clothes to dry and the rack sat in the living room
- The apartment fittings are starting to feel a bit worn down

Guest UserThe hotel has a very young style with a musical theme, excellent location to walk to the center.
The room was very small, with various objects hanging on the walls that further reduce the space, next to the bed was hanging a sort of wooden guitar.
The bathroom is small but functional, the shower towels are the size of face towels and are very thin making it very difficult to dry yourself.
Good general cleanliness.
The hotel has a paid parking.

The lady...is a Lady and she was kind attentive generous and I felt completely welcomed...it was as if I was staying at a living relative. Although the room was small the bathroom was ample. The room gad a query nook area by one of the two window areas...the view of the water was calming and simple, I could hear the birds in the shady trees outside my tall romantic window setting. The whole place was spotless and fresh smelling ...the bed comfortable. All looked new. It was near to everything. If I have to want anything it is a disposable shower cap. She allowed me to take her tea-Kettle to my room for my convenience which added to my comfort. Although we did not speak the same language we understood each other. I would love to return again soon. Thanks much 😊

Sasha v KitaeA Wonderful Stay in Coimbra!
I stayed at The Luggage for just one night, but it left such a wonderful impression that I would absolutely choose to stay here again without a second thought.
The hotel itself is located in a beautiful, historic building that perfectly blends traditional charm with excellent interior design. The high ceilings and massive windows give the rooms an incredibly spacious and airy feel, making the stay feel extra special.
Beyond the gorgeous architecture, the service was top-notch. The receptionist spoke excellent English, was extremely welcoming, and made the check-in process smooth and pleasant. Overall, this hotel truly elevated my experience and left me with the best memories of Coimbra. Highly recommended!

Good location just next to Praça do
Comércio. Some complained about the claustrophobic nature of the room without windows but I think its fine as the only time I spent in was to sleep. The price is good and room is clean and with good location are all I asked for and the hotel fulfills all that. The people there is friendly and tried to help as they could, an added plus. Will stay there again if I come back to coimbra.

Solar Antigo is a must-visit in Coimbra for anyone seeking a top-notch experience. We stayed in a room with a jacuzzi and a stunning view of the city, which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was my wife’s birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and celebrated. They even included a small cake with a candle for the in-room breakfast—such a thoughtful touch! The welcome sparkling wine and cake were also a delightful surprise. Their exceptional attention to detail and outstanding customer service truly set them apart. Highly recommended for an unforgettable stay!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Coimbra Monumentais. The location is absolutely perfect being so close to the steps up to the University. The facilities were fine. My only suggestion for improvement is to automatically send the check in information rather than asking us to ask for it. I missed that point in the reservation. Most of our stays were with Air BnB and they automatically send the information a day or two in advance. We came to the back door (the 7A address) and had an issue with getting in. Once in, we were very well looked after. Thanks so much to Mariannna!
