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.

    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.

    This is a great, smaller-sized hotel in the heart of downtown Coimbra. 2 minute walk from the main drag in the city center, close to shops, restaurants and historic sites. The view of the university at the top of the old city at night is literally unbeatable, I would recommend staying here just for the view alone! That being said, the hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly, they gave lots of good recommendations on where to go and how to get around town. I'd definitely stay here again.

    Beautifully appointed. Stylish, quality creative, lovely detailing throughout. Paula’s care and passion was evident in every aspect of our stay — from her warm welcome with port and chocolates and tone of local knowledge shared, to the beautiful room, awesome views form the patio, abundant and delicious breakfast. Don’t miss the extraordinary restaurant just down the street for dinner, Cordel. Sit outside on the balcony and watch the sunset over Coimbra. Our fave evening in Portugal!

    The location was perfect and having two bathrooms was a big convenience. The apartment had everything we could possibly need. Ismael, the host was absolutely the best out of all of our Portugal stays. He made sure that everything was satisfactory and checked on us during our stay. Ismael not only picked us up from the bus station upon our arrival, but took us on a tour of Coimbra before taking us to the apartment. He also drove us to the train station for our departure.

    The apartment in Coimbra was spacious and well-equipped, with a great balcony overlooking the city. The cathedral is not to be missed, and the university, which sits atop the city (very high), is the oldest in Portugal, one of the oldest in the world. The university library and the chapel of Sao Miguel are all well worth seeing, advise to purchase tickets (and times) before arriving. The botanical garden is a pleasant place to spend some time relaxing.

    The owners and staff - Joao, Ana, Janet - were so helpful. They booked an amazing boat trip, gave us an orientation to Coimbra, and even gave us a ride when we needed it. The building is gorgeous - if a bit vertically challenging like most places in older parts of the cities of Portugal. They provided an amazing breakfast - try the pumpkin jam with the bread! - and port and drinks at night.

    The location is fantastic--just a few step down the cobblestoned hill to the main square and main shopping street of the old town. Near many cafes and restaurants. Also near the old church where the first king of Portugal is buried. These units are being entirely refurbished by the owners in marble and wood. Incredibly clean! The duvet and towels are new and of good quality.

    Everything; especially the location. Situated near the old square, we were serenaded with smooth jazz in the morning. We could reach the market, the university, cathedral, and river bridge in easy walks. The hotel staff were very kind, especially helping us with parking and our bags. The roof top terrace above the Hotel Oslo was special too. We would stay there again.

    The location ais great, very central! As Coimbra is quite small is a perfect place to stay for a weekend. The studio was cleaned, and has basic thing in the kitchen so enough to cook few basic meals. Perfect for a weekend or a pitstop while travelling trough Portugal. Also, there was an AC in the studio which helped a lot.
