The hotel was centrally located but is not a 4* property. I would suggest it’s a basic 3* in terms of decor, bathrooms etc. Rooms are a decent size, Bed is comfy, shower was hot with good pressure and towels were good. Breakfast options are limited
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!
Beautiful building and spacious rooms
Centrally located, within walking distance to main sights. The building is nicely renovated. Rooms are spacious. A comfortable place to stay in Coimbra.
The hotel is cozy and familiy's friendly, the reception desk was friendly and welcoming, Fatima at the reception desk was great.
The breakfast is intercontinental buffet and had a variety of options besides great taste, Dinner is A LA carte menu and the chef is exceptional.
We didn't use the outdoor pool since it's so cold but the Spa and the indoor pool was pretty nice، the Jacuzzi was out of order.
Overall the location and services was pretty much great definitely deserves another visit.
The hotel is very well located with very friendly and competent staff, good service, friendlyness and information. The hotel was very clean and well-signified, and the room was comfortable enough but there was a small table because there was nowhere to put the computer for normal use. Not so the bath was completely insufficient by the size of the bath. It was just in, and for example to use the washing machine simply to wash your hands was swallowed the whole floor as it was ”minimalist” of 30x20 cm.; the cup of the bathroom without little place and the shower-mampara just to be able to move. The hotel is very comfortable and very comfortable.
There is a free parking lot nearby. It is very close to the city. If you check in at night, there will be no one but there will be a password information. I saw the staff in the morning and found that the people were not bad, but the room was relatively small. Not a suite but an ordinary double room.
There is only one bottle of water in the room and you have to buy the rest by yourself because I don’t know if the water from the faucet is edible. The other ones are pretty good.
We really liked the hotel, the location and all its amenities.
Just a note regarding breakfast, there is no alternative to milk! In other words, for a lactose intolerant person there was no offer. The same applies to a vegetarian person. For a 4 star hotel this is, in our opinion, a serious flaw.
Comfortable bed, excellent bathroom, very good blackout, available clothes, TV could be greater. very good spa especially the pool. The reception boss was of an inexcessive sympathy. To soon!
Very Good

Great
AAndrewA superb historic property under private management and ownership - actually, in the ownership of the same family for over 400 years altho’ now a member of the Small Luxury Hotels marketing system affiliated with Hilton. The property in its adjoining Gardens are a destination in themselves, along with the nearby (400m) Santa Clara monastery. They may be sufficient for some visitors, but it’s about a 15 minute walk to the centre of Coimbra and it’s main historical area.
Arthur Wellesley - aka Viscount Wellington - was a visitor during his Iberian campaign, so you’re in good company.
Staff are superb and obviously hand picked by the owner. The receptionist when I arrived (Evening of Sunday 16 February) was simply the best I’ve ever experienced, Singapore, Bangkok and Tokyo included. Genuinely fascinating to talk to about the history of the building and some of the previous guests (famous but ‘passed’ celebrities so no confidence is breached).
Best to stay in the rooms in the main building if possible, if tales of the previous occupant intrigue. Although the spa Is impressive – up to best Thai standards - and I guess the adjoining spa rooms may be equally good.
Overall, an absolute gem that far exceeded expectations.
EEsmeralda Maria Dias NunesI loved. Very professional service. The building is beautiful. My room had a spectacular view over the Mondego River. All the decoration and details of the hotel transport us to the 1920s, a true journey through time. The furniture is original but very well looked after. The elevator, the living and reading room, the revolving door, the tea room where breakfast is served, everything transports us to the luxurious past of the 1920s. Those who like old things and feeling transported back in time will love it. The temperature is always very pleasant and the bed is comfortable. The breakfast had a good variety to choose from.
VVincenzaThe 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.
GGuest UserThe 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 😊
GGuest UserEl concepto del hotel es original y divertido. Más que una simple estancia, es toda una experiencia. Pensaba que el hecho de no tener ventanas podría ser raro, pero la verdad es que no eché nada en falta. La ubicación es perfecta.
La habitación tiene un tamaño adecuado, la cama es súper cómoda y el baño, en proporción, es bastante grande. Todo estaba limpio, aunque al tener suelo y paredes oscuras el polvo se nota más fácilmente, pero en general todo bien.
El personal fue amable y el desayuno superó mis expectativas. Una excelente opción para alojarse en Coimbra.

GGuest UserThe staff was very kind and detailed to introduce the hotel facilities and let us check in early. The breakfast was hygienic and delicious. Breakfast was served until 10:30. Check out at 12 o'clock gave me ample time to organize my luggage. It was very intimate. The housekeeping staff took the clothes we left in the room to us in time. I'll choose this hotel if I have a chance.

GGuest UserGreat location, wallking distance to the main tourists street with all restaurants & shops. Across the street from Coimbra train station. (Not Coimbra B)
Beds are comfortable & the shower water pressure was amazing, their breakfast was great too, lots of fresh fruits, scrambled eggs, juice & all kinds if breads, pastries, coffee
etc. The young ladies at the reception were so kind & caring. The room, bed & bathroom were all spacious.
