The location was great; right in the center and close to the University. Our room was very clean and it had everything we needed. Even though the bathrooms were on a different floor and they were gym-like, we didn't have to wait to take a shower or anything. The staff was friendly and we could leave our bags for a couple of hours after we checked out.

There is some renovation going on in the street, but the accommodation is still easy to find. The receptionist is very nice and helpful. There is a spacious lobby and a lounge. There is no kitchen, maybe a small kitchenette with a fridge and a microwave. That is enough, there are several restaurants and shops in the area. The tile covering of the staircase is beautiful. The room is spacious, the bed is comfortable. The bathroom layout is well thought out, tidy and clean.

It was a very nice stay! The stuff is very friendly, helped us a lot, it was really a pleasure to chat with them =) The location is really cool - in the center but it is a calm street. The decoration and the equipment is very simple, but there was everything we needed. Thanks a lot !

Location was nice, the host that assisted me was an older gentleman that did his absolute best to make me comfortable with the amenities and made sure I understood how everything worked at the hostel. Great customer service and very comfortable stay!

This hotel is pure charm. Every detail feels handpicked with love—from the cozy rooms to the beautiful details everywhere you look. But the real heart of the place? The owners. Warm, generous, and genuinely wonderful, they made us feel like family. It’s not just a stay—it’s a hug in the form of hospitality. Can't wait to return.

All hostels in Coimbra

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I had a dormitory at the top of the building with single beds and it was super beautiful and comfy, also very clean! The hostel staff is very friendly and helpful! I had way too much luggage and they helped me with bringing it in and setting it up in the room. It has THE BEST location! In the very centre of Coimbra, just next to the arch! I love this place, definitely coming back :)

    Not the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in, not the worst. Rooms were neat and tidy, bathrooms could have been cleaner but nothing horrendous. Some staff were super friendly and helpful, others not so much. Guess it all depends on the day. Great location though!

    Great location, right in the centre of old town and close to everything. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and they had towels included. The hostel and location felt very safe for me as a solo female traveller.

    Great location, comfy beds and kind staff. I was in a room for 10 people at the (sort of like) attic, but since it wasn't full, I slept in peace and undisturbed for straight 9 hours. One of the best hostels I've stayed at!
