Tivoli Coimbra Hotel, hotel in Coimbra

This modern 4-star hotel is located near the Mondego River in historic Coimbra. Its modern rooms feature a flat-screen TV with satellite and paid movie channels.

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.

FAQs about hotels in Coimbra








A Seat of Learning and Royalty

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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Small hotel in the center of town. Hotel is in the lower part of town near the river; plenty of restaurants, stores and bars are nearby; and the historic university is about a 15-minute walk uphill. (Note: Hills are steep in Coimbra!) Hotel is family-owned, with pleasant owners. Bedroom and bathroom were clean, bed was comfortable, and daily housekeeping service was good. Bedroom had a small desk and chair, TV and wardrobe. WiFi service was acceptable. Price was reasonable, so the room was good value for money.

    The owner and staff here were some of the friendliest folks we met during our ten days in Portugal. They're super welcoming and give you a concise rundown of what to see in Coimbra (including a map and walking instructions). There's a wonderful little courtyard to enjoy a little wine and snack. As others have mentioned, the breakfast was a phenomenal spread with fresh fruits, cheeses, pastries, meats, coffee, tea and fresh-squeezed juice.

    Lovely hostel, in the middle of the old town. The staff was very welcoming and helpful in recommending great ice cream places or places to visit in Portugal! The room was exactly like in the picture, but slightly even better :D It oozed of charm with its old chimney and the small but efficient bathroom. Around, many restaurants, shops, 2 streets away from the river, it was definitely the best location for a small city-trip!

    Staff were very welcoming. Hotel was clean and easy to find. Room is very unique and quirky. Our room was definitely geared towards couples. No privacy for bathing/shower and limited privacy for toilet ( has door but not enclosed.) overall, it was good for our short stay in Coimbra. I did enjoy the breakfast being brought to room. Room also had beautiful view of the city.

    We were travelling through Spain and Portugal and wanted to stop somewhere that would allow us to chill, re-charge the batteries, enjoy a good meal and not have to pay an extortionate price. This hotel met every expectation for us. Great facilities, friendly service and a fantastic meal in the restaurant. Really easy to find just a few kilometres from the motorway.
