Hotel Domus — Hotel in Coimbra

I try to support small proprietors whenever possible, and felt choosing this hotel has allowed me to do that. It is lovingly run by Mr. and Mrs. Santos who speak just enough English to ensure a smooth stay. I asked for a warm room because I was sick with a horrible cold. I got just that, a sunny room with the sun streaming in each morning, plus it had a lovely view of Coimbra University perched high on the hill. The decor is very traditional, dark wood furniture, but the bathroom has been updated. The shower is small with a shower curtain enclosure, water is nice and hot with good pressure.

The staff really kept the place clean as you can see them working hard with their buckets and bleach.||It is very centrally located, close to good cafes, restaurants and Coimbra A train station is just a couple of minutes walk. From the Rede Expressos bus station, it is a 15-20 minute walk down a main road and easy to find. The location also makes it easy to get to the University and the traditional market where you can see fresh fish and bacalhau being sold.||Mr. Santos personally serves you breakfast in the morning.

It is good value and in a perfect location. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it or to return for...

An easy distance from the hotel to train station! The room is clean but rather crowded and shabby, we could barely open all four luggage at one time. The staff are nice but not all of them speak English, which is quite inconvenience for us. Breakfast costs 3 euro each, but it doesn't seem to have many choices. No elevator in hotel, so think twice if you have large luggage! The entire security measure isn't very good. First, there is no safe in the room; second, their is a luggage room for guests to leave their luggage temporarily, but it seems like that room is not locked all the time, and when it's not, no staff overlooking it. It's bearable since I only stayed for one night, but if I am going to stay longer, I might...
