Hotel Domus, hotel in Coimbra

Hotel Domus offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour front desk, just 262 feet from Coimbra-A Railway Station. It takes a 10-minute walk to the Old Cathedral of Coimbra.

Hotel Domus gave us a clean and comfortable room with a nice bed and shower. Adjacent to the older part of town but easily accessible by car for drop-off and parking just a block away made access easy. We were 10-15 minutes away from the old university and we’re able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Breakfast was simple good and fresh and our host was very attentive and eager to please. Nothing fancy with this stay, just clean and comfortable and a good location.

FAQs about hotels in Coimbra






A Seat of Learning and Royalty

Portugal’s medieval capital, and a pioneer of fado music alongside its modern counterpart Lisbon, Coimbra is a vibrant university city with a good helping of historic sights.

The university is the country’s oldest and its attractive buildings cover a small hill overlooking the Mondego River. The institution has an excellent science museum, the ornate Joanina Library, and one of the world’s oldest botanical gardens which contributes to the lush landscape.

The midweek nightlife in the city’s bars and restaurants is popular with students, while shopping options range from the stores of the CoimbraShopping complex to smaller boutiques on cobbled streets in the historic Baixa district.

The medieval centre houses the museum of Coimbran sculptor Machado de Castro and the Old Cathedral, begun under the reign of the first Portuguese King, Afonso Henriques. He is buried in Santa Cruz Monastery, while the tomb of a later queen – Elizabeth of Aragon – is in the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova. She founded this hilltop convent to replace flood-prone Santa Clara-a-Velha below. Between them is Portugal dos Pequenitos where Portugal’s main monuments are reproduced in miniature.

Nearby is Quinta das Lágrimas, a 19th-century mansion that is now a luxury hotel on Booking.com. Also available are cheap hostels and guest houses near the 2 main train stations.

    Coimbra is a great city to visit and use as base to explore other locations in central Portugal. Make sure you wear comfy shoes, the cobbles streets and walking is often up steep hills. The library is worth viewing at the university, but make sure you book in advance or get there early, as they have limited tickets and time slots. The parks are beautiful along the river and worth taking the time to visit. If adventuring out, highly recommend Obidos and the Buddha Eden garden, as well as Aveiro and Costa Nova.

    Coimbra has a lot to offer travelers. Centro (old part of town) is very lovely and has a lot to see. Many small interesting roads and pathways to walk around and see beautiful buildings, historical churchs, shops, cafes...Restaurants are reasonably priced and there is a variety of different cuisines to accommodate everyone. We stayed one night, but could have easily stayed another night.

    Five-minute walk from Coimbra A train station; online pix meant we knew exactly which building to look for. This is a charming and old-fashioned hotel that antique-lovers should really enjoy; it's like being on the set of a 1920s or earlier movie, and has an old-fashioned wood-lined elevator, complete with folding bench. We loved the place, but ... The one perturbing thing was the lack of in-room Wifi, but there are lots of comfortable spaces to connect on the main floor. For a couple of vacation days, though, this was not a big deal.

    Coimbra was an unexpected pleasure to visit.

    Coimbra was an unexpected pleasure to visit. We had great accommodation in an accessible (by car) area, but removed from the every day bustle. Interesting old town, enjoyable music/fado offerings, good walks along the river and excellent food were all recommended by our helpful and knowledgable host. Had trouble finding parking at first (it's not well signed IMO),

    This is a boutique hotel located just below the University Library in central Coimbra. We stayed for one night as part of a one-week holiday in western Portugal. Limited free parking was available outside the hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable and on two levels with the bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. The buffet breakfast was good. The price was high compared to some of the other hotels we stayed at in Portugal. All the staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to meet our needs.

    It is a whimsical hotel, designed like a palazzo in Venice. Staff is great, very helpful. Breakfast is delivered to your room. View from our room was magnificent, overlooking part of the city from a bird view point. Location is close by to Old University, which is a must see in Coimbra, on the top of the old town . Driving there is a lot of fun, particularly for north Americans. Narrow, steep, cobbled streets. Don't come with a big SUV, because you will have hard time to find a parking spot.

    The property is adjacent to the river. The desk staff was very helpful. We visited during the Coimbra University Graduation celebration and the first night was ridiculously loud with amped up music from the waterfront from midnight to 4:00a. very hard to sleep. The next night the desk staff suggested we change our room to the rear of the hotel. That much improved the noise proble.

    It is all about the staff at Tivoli Coimbra. They are great. The room, while spacious had several issues. The bathroom was also a good size and the shower was good. The location was ok. It is located halfway between the Coimbra B train station and the Santa Cruz Cathedral. Breakfast reminded us of more 3 or even 2 star hotel.

    The location ais great, very central! As Coimbra is quite small is a perfect place to stay for a weekend. The studio was cleaned, and has basic thing in the kitchen so enough to cook few basic meals. Perfect for a weekend or a pitstop while travelling trough Portugal. Also, there was an AC in the studio which helped a lot.
