I found the people working here to be brusque- but maybe they're overworked. It seems like a hotel that's cutting corners. That said, the location on top of the hill is pretty nice. I hope they update the hotel- as it's obviously a nice location. They seem to take in a lot of large tour groups- so they're catering to a lower common denominator . I'm not a fan of Coimbra- I never want to go there again, but I don't hold that against the hotel.

Solid choice with a great location overlooking the river. Our room was on the small side but had a…read morecomfortable double bed and a good sized bathroom. The front desk people were friendly and helpful. We could easily walk to all the main sights such as the University, gardens and many restaurants (although, a lot of the sights were uphill). We were here in February so we didn't experience activities on the river but there seem to be many options in the warmer weather. Breakfast was worth the €6/pp/day, although, it's not as nice as the picture on the website. After spending four days in Lisbon and two days in Coimbra, the Pasteis da Nada's that I ate at breakfast here were what finally overdosed me on them. Delicious but very rich after eating at least one (usually more) for six straight days. I'd definitely consider staying in this hotel again if in Coimbra.

Good location - not far from the main square area. Room is small but fine for the limited time we…read morewere in the room. It was relatively quiet but bed was hard. Breakfast (additional fee) was not all it was cracked up to be on their website. It was ok - probably worth the upcharge I'd say since you don't have to then find someplace on your own. LOVED the juice squeezer for MYO oj. And, of course, the pasteis da nata!

The most exceptional hotel stay that I have ever had. I've been fortunate to stay at a few luxary…read more5 star hotels but this property along with the history that comes with it is truly what's sets this place apart. If your a history nerd like me and love a good luxary hotel then this will be perfect for you. First and foremost the service here is exceptional. From beginning to end the staff was truly great and so helpful. Michellin star resteraunt on site along with a bar for guests to enjoy. The grounds and gardens of this hotel was incredible and the best I've seen at any propery. My wife and I got lost exploring this historic hotel and gardens for two hours exploring, just taking our time enjoying it, WE LOVED IT. We booked a Spa Room in the Spa Wing which is the newer addition to the hotel designed by a very famous Portugesse Archetict. Stunning building, room was very comfortable and nice. The room does need an update, room seems to be suck in the late 2000s/ early 2010s. But still felt very nice, spacious and luxurious. The balcony was our favorite part with a view of the gardens and pool. The pool was awesome, Olympic sized pool. Cabana and pool side chairs are available for free and they have food and drink service which was phenomenal. We had a great lunch by the pool and the girl working there was great and helpful. Overall, this place is just incredible. To sleep where Royals slept once is just the cherry on top for me. If you stay here make sure to read up on the love story Iñes Castro and Pedro I of Portugal. Really this is an incredible place and worth every penny to stay here. Luckily this SLH hotel is now available to Hilton Honors Memebers so I took full advantage and used 80k points for a two night stay here. DONT SLEEP ON THEM, if your in Coimbra Portugal, do your life this favor. You will be so happy you stayed here as I did. Obrigada Quinta Das Lagrimas!

A great very high end hotel with a moderate price. We stayed here in the off season for about $200…read morea night. It was truly worth double that. The grounds are beautiful and worth a stroll through the garden. They have a pool but it was a bit too cool for that. There seems to be endless staff making sure you are ok. The breakfast which came with our room was really great and included an omelet. I can't say enough about the breakfast. Our room was ok and included a balcony over the garden. Wifi in my room was clocked at 22 mbps through google speed test ...which I have found is fairly good when you are traveling. We love this place.

Service - checked me in early, which I appreciated. Friendly at the front desk. Amenities- old and dated, which is surprising at its price point. It sets itself up as a 4 star hotel, but it is 3 star hotel at most. The walls are thin- my neighbors kept talking all damn night. They weren't even playing loud music or yelling. This is how thin the walls were. There were no usb outlets and the furniture definitely showed wear and tear. So glad, my stop here was short. Tchau Coimbra!
