The hotel is a former Convent, situate on the banks of a river. The architect who drew up the design must have had a very difficult task, as in several places he/she used sloping ramps to connect adjacent spaces. However these ramps are wheel-chair friendly.
The Dining Room is the former central courtyard/cloister, now roofed in, and with numerous instructive wall panels of portraits and histories of the Knight Templars, who owned the castle on the hill above the town. (It would have been nice if a translation in English was provided). The catering staff were friendly and helpful, and the food selection was also good.
Our room had a view over the town towards the Knight Templar castle on the hill top.

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 delightful town to visit. The town is architecturally pleasing, with clean, safe, streets, and a refreshing lack of graffiti.
There is a good choice of hotels and restaurants, and those that we patronized were of good quality, with helpful staff, all of whom, in our experience spoke good English. Recommended

Our accommodation had the perfect location; we walked everywhere. The nearby restaurants were serving great food. Our street had 2 nice restaurants that were frequented by locals, and the prices were very reasonable compared to the more touristy places.

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.
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.

Coimbra is a great city with very interesting historical sites and churches. Interesting shops and restaurants.

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.
The amenities were incredible and the staff was super helpful. I would absolutely recommend this place for a short stay in Coimbra. The location is prime and the overall vibe of the hotel is very clean, neat and contemporary. I wouldn’t call it cheap but I wouldn’t call it expensive either. If it’s within your budget you should definitely try it. Although we stayed only for one night I can absolutely see myself staying for a few more nights next time we come to Coimbra to visit.
The location was quite good. There was a cafe Coimbra Doce across the road which served nice meals, with courteous staff, some speaking English. There was a launderette 3 minutes away, and a Continente supermarket two minutes away. A large post office one minute away. The town centre was within walking distance, and bus services in front of the hotel. Hot water was great. Electric kettle and fridge in the room was convenient. Breakfast was good too.
The property is well situated between the University and the old town. The building is from the 1800’s- so cool. Not sure if the stone walls are from the original building - awesome nevertheless. We thought it was great value. They brought us breakfast to the room- good variety of buns, scrambled eggs, yogurts and fruit. Great views of the city of Coimbra.
Will definitely recommend this hotel.
Hotel Vitoria is conveniently located, exceptionally clean but simple, the staff are really helpful and welcoming and more than willing to give us tips to enhance our time in Coimbra. For some reason, no doubt a fault of mine, only one room came with breakfast so we, in the double room, paid for our breakfast, which was varied and very good. I would recommend this hotel without condition.
We loved our stay at Entre Ruas. Excellent location right near the old town and university, however still lovely and quiet as the apartment has double windows. It was spacious and had everything we needed, including a washing machine with detergent, tea, coffee etc. Danielle and the team at Entre Ruas were so lovely and helpful, and the team at Hotel Oslo went above and beyond also.
A top establishment. Right opposite Coimbra Town Railway Station yet we heard zero train noise.
It is within walking distance of good restaurants and I highly recommend Tartufo Italian.
The shower was the best we have had in Portugal! it is air conditioned however you can open the windows if you wish.
The bar on the roof has good drinks a a nice view of the city,
Highly recommended.
We stayed there for one night during our roadtrip in Portugal. We loved the design and decoration of the house and the rooms. The rooms were very well equipped and clean.
Jonas and Sonia were very helpful and responsive. The breakfast was delicious. The parking on the street in front of the house is free and we found a spot easily.
We would definitely stay at Vila Julieta again!
it is a very stylish boutique hotel, located just next to the university campus (all historical buildings, plus a short walk downhill to the city centre). it has an excellent restaurant and super helpful staff. The building is old yet refurbished with good taste. It was a perfect finish of my tour around Portugal. Bonus: a sweet turtle girl lives in the garden fountain.
The room is luxurious and spacious. The bed the best we've slept on during our 2 weeks travelling around Portugal. The location could not be bettered and the bathroom newly done (previous reviewers have left some negative comments about the bathroom). There is a lift! And Goncalo the perfect host with lots of useful information. Coimbra is an amazing place to visit!
One of the best places were I’ve stayed in Portugal. Everything isn’t just great, but GREAT! Location, view from the window and terrace, breakfast, bathroom, and even free Netflix on TV. On top of that, the service was of the highest standard, with the stuff being very eager to assist us, and give us very valuable information on the city!
The location was EXCELLENT! Just don’t use GPS to find the apartment if you’re driving. Have the hotel Oslo staff show you the way. We’ll stock and lots of space. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Rita and the blonde woman at hotel Oslo reception (sorry I did not get your name!) we’re both fabulous and friendly.
One of the nicest., homely properties we staying Portugal.
Property has an interesting history and this is tastefully respected in decor and presentation.
Everything was done to perfection, hosts could not be more helpful, staff top class and food, much of which was produced on-site, was lovely.
We love the room they offered to us on the top (5th) floor with the beautiful view of the old town (Coimbra) !
The parking is also easy following the instructions given by the hotel staff. The location is great that we could easily cross the street to reach the old town.
The rooms are large, comfortable, and extremely clean. The breakfast was fantastic, everything was fresh, and the outdoor space was perfect. The staff was always willing to help and give advice about the stay. The hotel is right next to the Coimbra train station.
This is a fabulous hotel right on the main pedestrian street in the touristy part of town. The rooms are clean, updated, and very comfortable. This is a bargain for the price and we will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Coimbra.
Great host & hostess. Really helpful and prepared a wonderful breakfast. The best for our entire trip to Portugal. The hostess suggested 2 restaurants and we found them helpful. Very gracious people who tried their best to help.
Staff was wonderful and it was a clean hotel. It was located in a more residential part of town easy accessible from Coimbra train station (you have to get the train from Coimbra-B, but it’s a 5 minute ride).
Conveniently located modern hotel on the edge of the historic quarter of Coimbra. We selected this hotel because of driving and availability of parking in the garage below the hotel. Hotel met our needs.
