Hotel Mondego

The location was great. Central to the town and sight seeing tour. We were able to visit the two cathedrals, museum, Aquaduct, university and botanical gardens. All within easy reach of the hotel. Our room was comfortable and clean with a nice little balcony. Breakfast was good. Reception staff welcoming and helpful.

Absolutley spotless. Very welcoming hotel near the Mondego River. Area is under heavy construction right now, which is always difficult to maneuver around. Good location close to shopping, dining, and sights. Two employees stood out: Tatiana was at the front desk when we checked in. She was so gracious and informative. She was also there when we checked out and helped us with pointers on train tickets, etc. She is a gem. Gustavo was at the rooftop bar, which had a spectacular view of the high city. The roof of the college easily visible to the right. He made recommendations on the bar menu and was willing to chat before he got busy. He is also a gem. I would return here... Hopefully when the local construction is completed.

Clean, simple, well located . The rooms are very quiet.

We stayed here for two nights as part of an extended trip around Portugal. This hotel is very close to the train station and in an area where there are a lot of walkable and interesting streets. Some reveiwers expressed concern about this location, but had no problems with it. From this location, visiting the university and other attractions is easy. The staff were extremely pleasant. The breakfast was pretty typical and there is a very nice roof-top bar to be enjoyed in the afternoon. Everything was clean and comfortable.

The hotel is located across the Coimbra-A train station at the riverfront, in the old center of the city. The hotel has very well soundproofed windows and balcony doors. Our room faced a busy street and was very quiet. We also had a small balcony which was a plus. The receptionists are fluent in English and can help you with navigating the city and finding good places to eat. The hotel also has a roof bar on the 4th floor, with a beautiful view of Coimbra. The barman Gustavo was very welcoming and provided an exceptional service. His wine/food recommendations were perfect.
