NN Guest House — Hotel in Coimbra

We stayed for one night in a single room for two people. Unfortunately, our experience was not entirely positive. Upon booking, the host asked us to send photos of our ID documents via WhatsApp, which made us uncomfortable. However, we were told we wouldn't receive the code to access the key box without doing so, so we felt we had no choice. I had to explicitly request a privacy notice to understand what would happen to our personal data, as this request was made outside of the Booking platform. The host replied that the documents are only used for municipal registration and the city tax payment, and are then deleted. Still, I wasn’t fully reassured by this explanation. On the positive side, the location is excellent, right in the city center. However, be aware that the property is located on a high hill, so getting there requires quite an uphill walk every time. The bedsheets were clean and ironed, which we appreciated. However, the decorative pillows placed on top of the bedcover didn’t appear to be clean, which was a bit off-putting.

My stay at NN Guesthouse was a bit of a letdown, to be honest. First off, the room was so dang humid! I mean, every morning I'd wake up and find dew all over the door to the teeny-tiny shared balcony. It made the whole place feel damp and uncomfortable.||And get this, they didn't even provide a heater! If you wanted one, you had to fork out some extra cash. I don't know about you, but I think a heater is a basic necessity, especially when it's chilly outside.||The shared bathroom was as basic as it gets. It was like stepping back in time to the bare minimum. And I couldn't help but notice a little bit of mold on the walls, which was a major turn-off and not something you want to see in a place you're staying at.||To top it all off, you had to climb this narrow staircase in dim light to get to your room. It felt like a scene out of a horror movie,...

Good value, no-frills accommodation in the centre of Coimbra. Good base for you to explore!

Despite arriving late, good communication with the property and no problems at all checking in without staff present.

Located on a slope but well-lit at night, felt safe. Note that there is also a small narrow spiral staircase if your room is not on the ground floor.

👍 What I liked: View of the cute little church and square from my little balcony. Also, slept well & comfortable single bed.

Slight downpoints: No private bathrooms in any type of room, only shared bathrooms (though clean) & thin walls but overall for the price can't ask for more! Also, no possibility to leave luggage on day of check-out , but it's...
