Penedo da Saudade Suites & Hostel

The breakfast was not only fresh, magnificent and delicious, but the view from the terrace is amazing. Very generous. It felt like we were lodging in someone's comfortable home, located in a residential neighborhood but close to the university, shops, etc. Our hosts were invisible most of the time (jn a GOOD way) but always available as we needed them. Coimbra is a lovely, historic destination and this hotel/hostel was the perfect location from which to see and access all of the local delights. Would rebook again and recommend to others.

Manager was very helpful. Though the location is not close to the old town, we enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and took very cheap Uber rides to the old town. We would stay here again.

The property is in a great location for walking to the University. It was in a cool old house. We enjoyed the fun, "University" vibe of the decor. The staff was great. Emma was a particular delight--very helpful and full of useful information & recommendations. The breakfast buffet was great with many options. It was served on the top floor with nice views and an outdoor patio for nice weather days. The one thing that we would change would be the numerous, plug-in air freshener/frangrances in our room. There were at least 5, and the smell was overwhelming upon arrival. We just gathered them up and put them on a table outside our room and replaced them when we checked out.

Really very nice. Just outside the centre and old quarter but easy enough to walk. Parking isn’t private. It’s in the road but easy enough and close enough. I would say a very safe area. Breakfast was on the roof terrace (or inside). Very nice. Decent enough selection. Continental style. Very nicely presented. Room was fairly small but totally sufficient. Bed too hard for me but ok for my husband. We are all different. Very good pillows and linen. Very clean. We walked to a good restaurant. Papa. Quiet at night time.
