Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Hotel Mondego

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location, staff.is helpful and breakfast is plenty"

Quinta Das Lagrimas

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place The staff was very helpful"

Vila Gale Coimbra Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay in a gorgeous place. Dinner was superb and breakfast unmatched. We highly recommend it. The location was perfect, easy walks to all the important sites."

SOPHIA STUDIOS

10/10 Excellent

"Sofia Studios was great value considering the incredible central location it has in Coimbra. It was exceptionally clean and very easy to check in to. Staff are on hand during the day and are very helpful. Our only criticism is that he bathroom is really small with almost no counter space. As well, it's a lot of stairs to the third floor! Normally that wouldn't be a factor for us - and it was completely as advertised - but my wife sprained her knee earlier in our Portugal trip. For anybody with mobility issues, try to request the first floor (and even then there's two flights of stairs)."

Bussaco Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

Praxis CBR Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Fabulous river view in an deluxe room (room 6) on floor 2 . Nice modern room with interesting features. If you have an early start, beware that breakfast is from 8.00am, and we had to order a breakfast box, which isn’t ideal; l have fed back that breakfast should start earlier from 6.30am for a continental style. Good location and next to the old town and main street"

ibis Coimbra Centro

8/10 Good

"Staff was very helpful. The room felt a bit dated, but it was cheap so I cannot complain. I would have liked to have a safe in the room, but that's not a huge problem. Location was good, near major churches and the university. Overall good."

Vila Julieta Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"This is a 5 star property - very beautifully designed room with velvet headboard, restored antique furniture and a huge balcony that overlooks their garden. 5 stars for location - a short 10 min walk away from the old town, though be prepared to walk down and up stairs as this is Coimbra 5 stars for cleanliness and the pictures are exactly what you get when you arrive, very well maintained home of Sonia and Jonah. 5 stars for the hosts who were warm, friendly and had a lovely breakfast spread of homemade zucchini jam, eggs, yoghurt and cheese… lots of options! Flexible luggage arrangements that allow guests to leave their bags earlier or later really makes it a convenient experience - hosts were also very responsive. If you are looking to stay in Coimbra, Vila Julieta feels like a boutique hotel with a warm touch."

Zero Box Lodge Coimbra

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and value. Very small room but functional. Nice AC and water pressure."
