    While this wasn't a problem for us, the lack of communication with staff was unusual compared to other places we stayed during our trip. Also, the internet was somewhat slow.

    Location was great and the room was very nice.

    The bed was not very comfortable, and in my room a small twin bed. The room and bathroom were modern, though, and had some nice touches. There were no staff present when I was there and no one responded to my requests to leave my bags at the hotel for another few hours, so I had to lock them at the train station.

    The location is excellent, right in the center of Coimbra and a short walk to all the tourist sites. It's easy to check in on your own schedule using the door codes provided.

    The location was central. Breakfast was good

    The street was a bit noisy. Also Uber and taxis don’t seem to be able to come to the street so you need to go a few min to another street to be picked up. It’s ok, it’s just a bit nerve wracking

    You need PIN numbers to get in and so no staff. But a great hotel.

    A lovely charming hotel, with a beautiful reception, has to be seen! The room was large, clean and very comfortable. It is in the middle of town on the Camino. Excellent for pilgrims.

    The location was excellent and the room looked newly renovated. It was very clean and fresh. Good internet and cute lobby. Was able to leave my bag before check in. Good instructions for entry prior to arrival

    - Cons: noisy (can hear what’s happening on multiple floors) - utilitarian – a room but no amenities… if that’s all you’re looking for it is a nice location and clean room.

    COIMBRA Pharmacia Guesthouse on May 6, 2024 - Pros: great location in the middle of town. - Nice rooftop deck on the fifth floor - The room was clean but my wife said she thought the sheets had an unpleasant smell - really good value

    The bed and pillows were not very comfortable. The information that was sent from the property said there would be fruit for breakfast. There were four apples in a bowl. That is the only fruit we saw the time we were there. There was no staff for check-in, problems, or information. Someone came in and cleaned up the room while we were out. We never saw anyone who worked there.

    Fantastic location right in the middle of everything you could want to see. We loved the windows overlooking the street and the deck on the top floor is a real bonus. The bathroom had a great shower and good counter space.

    We never saw a single staff person. We had requested luggage storage, which consisted of leaving our luggage under some steps. There was no locked storage room and no staff onsite.

    We liked the location since we were near the Se Velha, Se Nova, and the University. The small breakfast bar was adequate for the price of the hotel.
