Hotel Vitória — Hotel in Coimbra

Hotel Victoria is absolutely fabulous, and I couldn't recommend it anymore. The hotel is understated and doesn’t promise to be 5*. It is however a hotel with wonderful staff who quietly go about their business, ensuring all guests are happy and well looked after and who made me smile every time they said hello. The rooms are super clean, with high-quality bedding that feels incredibly comfortable.||The staff and owners of the hotel are fantastic. They just want to prioritise their guests' well-being and did their best to take care of us. After a delayed flight, we arrived at the hotel at 3:00 AM. Instead of being met with grumpiness or tired faces, one of the hotel owners greeted us warmly, genuinely pleased that we had made it and that our journey had come to an end.

Parking - an underground parking which is 5 minute walk from the hotel. 10 euro a day. Breakfast...

We stayed here for four nights. The room was clean and renovated, with plenty of outlets, a decent shower, and quiet, competent air conditioning. There is also an elevator. It is small, but with luggage, it helped. The desk staff were always friendly and helpful. We paid for the breakfast twice. It was a pretty good spread. ||The location is very convenient to the train station (Coimbra-A, not Coimbra-B) and a short walk (uphill) to the center. Also, there is a self-service laundry just a few blocks away. Sometimes it was kind of loud outside because of guys hanging out--the area feels a little downtrodden. But other nights it was quiet, and we didn't have any issues with safety. Overall it was a...
