The hotel's team with the Paulas, Inês, Ana, Eduarda and Miguel in the restaurant and the reception team with Souza, Telma, Raquel and Ricardo were exceptionally solicitous in every aspect and deserve all the credits for the hotel success!
Restaurant with good options and reasonable prices is a wonderful choice in the house.
Maribeth as the masseur is exceptionally prepared to treat your every problem.

Congratulations to all of them!

The rrom wasd spatious and very clean. It lacked a bit on the side of places to store clothes (but it seems that's a thing with a lot of Portuguese hotels. Very close to the Coimbra Train Station (just in front). We were a bit concerned about noise coming from the nearby street, restaurant and bars, but in reality it was no issue at all. Breakfast is good and convenient with hot and cold options. I would return the this hotel.

The location was good apart from the road construction outside. Our room was at the back, so we weren't affected by noise from the work. The staff were fantastic, the room was spacious and clean. Lovely building.

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.

We were lucky enough to arrive during the last week of term for the university students, which made the town lively and interesting. The tour of the university , particularly the library, was fascinating. It was also lovely to walk through the old town, eat pastries, listen to music and absorb the atmosphere. Sitting in the Botanic gardens with a book in the afternoon sunshine was an opportunity to relax in otherwise busy days.

Coimbra is a delightful town to visit.
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.
the Igreja santo Christo is especially good to visit situated in a lovely square. The adjoining old cafe has a wonderful atmosphere with a performance of FADO (traditional Portuguese music ) every weekday from 6pm
Luis, the owner was fantastic. He provided info on the best local restaurants and things yo do. He helped tailor our experience to our king and more. The beds were great, the rooms were more than I could have expected. My wide was thrilled with the building and the historical aspects of the house. The breakfast was perfect for us and the pastries and fruit were fresh and delicious. We have been in Portugal for 3 weeka and stayed at 4 hotels and this by far was the best of all. We will book again!
Having this linked to Hotel Oslo was excellent as the staff were very accommodating in changing our room as we had expected a sofa bed as listed in the description (as we are friends traveling together & hoped not to share one bed). However, it was not a sofa bed but the staff were very helpful. The Rooftop lounge at Hotel Oslo was an exceptional view of Coimbra & a great way to enjoy your lovely Port! Great location, amenities.
The location is amazing! Steps from the center and train station! Walkable! Safe (all of Portugal is safe)! Cafes and restaurants around! Clean room! Temperature control! Comfortable bed! Excellent WiFi! Strong hot shower! Good breakfast variety (fruits, pastries, eggs, yogurt, cereal, coffee, espresso, etc.)! Very friendly and helpful staff! Would definitely recommend and would stay here again when back in lovely Coimbra!
We stayed at Hotel Botanico de Coimbra for several days in July. The hotel was well-managed, rooms were very comfortable and air conditioned, complementary wifi worked very well, and the hotel served a good light breakfast. There is a small bodega and cafe next door which made it very nice for drinks and other items. We very much enjoyed the stay and look forward to staying again in the future.
Centrally located, thoughtfully decorated quaint studio that had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Easy to access with codes provided for the front doors and unit doors. Unit was clean, and the staff was very friendly. Coimbra is a must see, and as is the case with most of Portugal, very hilly. Bring flat, comfortable footwear! Thank you for a lovely stay at Sofia Studios!
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!
The location is great and the place is exceptional.
The building is an historical place, and very well renovated. Rooms are modern and very comfortable. The breakfast served in the garden is delicious and the big swimming pool is ideal to chill and relax. finally the staff is very welcoming and friendly. It’s the best hotel we’ve been to in Portugal.
Loved our stay thanks Ana, beautifully presented room and the extra little touches made it special - the welcome drink with crackers and jam, the fruit bowl and to top it off the exquisitely presented breakfast basket. A balcony to eat meals on. Beds were comfortable. Everything was perfect. Would return if I'm back in Portugal.
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.
The hotel is located in the center of downtown with exceptional staff, very comfortable (though some rooms are small), parking included and has a rooftop bar area with lovely views. Rodrigo was especially helpful with recommendations of what to see and do in Coimbra.
Gorgeous character-filled room, just like the pics provided, and vey friendly, helpful staff. Lots of little details made this our best stay so far in Portugal. Great location very close to university and a short walk down charming cobbled lanes to town centre.
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.
The apartment is located right in the centre of Coimbra, which makes it an excellent spot for exploring the city. It is owned/operated by Hotel Oslo which is a few blocks away, and the staff were extremely kind and helpful.
Hotel Oslo is very comfortable, close to town, with a reasonable breakfast and extremely helpful staff. It is an older style hotel that has been renovated tastefully.
