My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quite clean overall, but I did find a few stray hairs on the bathroom wall, which was a bit off-putting. On the bright side, the room was well-maintained and came with a convenient mini-bar. The hotel's hilltop location offered great views of the city center and some greenery, making it a value-for-money choice in Coimbra.

The hotel definitely needs some updating and renovations to bring it up to the local standard for a 3-star establishment claiming to be of a 3 1/2-star standard. The rooms, while not very modern, are comfortable enough, though cleanliness could be improved. The service was a mix, with some staff being extremely friendly and helpful while others were rude. The location was challenging to find and not centrally located, although it did offer nice city views. The dining experience was passable but could have been better. Overall, the facilities require attention but are satisfactory for a short stay.
