    The rrom was cold because we don't have control over the thermostat, is centralized. Plus, the air conditioner has a very loud noise when in stand by (is less noisy if it is working). In general, noise isolation is not good as well, you can eeasily hear your neighbors and the lift.

    Clean, modern and straight forward the minimum to have a confortable stay. Breakfast is simple, but with enough options to satisfy all tastes.

    We had a very good time. The hotel is very close to the city centre and the walk to get there is lovely. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. Our room was spotlessly clean and well furnished. The air conditioner in the room worked perfectly. The breakfast was the only thing that could be improved, but it was still good and offered both sweet and savoury food as well as seasonal fruit.

    The room we stayed in was small and didn't really represent fair value for money. The hotel is located at the top of a hill, on a busy road.

    Extremely helpful staff, who were friendly and personable. Nice location, close to public transport (local bus stop), the botanical gardens and the old town. Friendly cafe within 100 meters, plus a local convenience store 50m away.

    Super clean, comfortable room with light from 2 shuttered windows. Bathroom small but had all I needed. Wide corridors and lovely stairs and landings with windows and plants. Dining room with staggered continental breakfast included. And I got my coffee fix in the mornings ☺️

    Nothing that comes to mind.

    We stayed at Hotel Botanico de Coimbra for several days in July. The hotel was well-managed, rooms were very comfortable and air conditioned, complementary wifi worked very well, and the hotel served a good light breakfast. There is a small bodega and cafe next door which made it very nice for drinks and other items. We very much enjoyed the stay and look forward to staying again in the future.

    We could listen a little bit the cars sound passing by the street outside, due to the proximity of it. They should have a bigger car parking, so we could park the car near (in front of the building. there's only place for 1 car), instead parked in the street behind the hotel at about 400m of it, (in matter of fact, there was no problem about it).

    The breakfast was good and had much to choise. Located on a calm zone. The room was clean and the WC was new.

    Location is on a busy street, so there is a lot of street noise if you open the windows. If you opt for air conditioning, the a/c was a bit loud, at least in my room. I also had a room right by staircase, which meant I got all of the noise from the lobby, coming up the staircase. Parking was street parking a couple of blocks away. This ended up not being an issue, though.

    While this was a little bit of a walk to the old town area, it was right by the botanical garden, so if the garden was open, you could walk through the garden. (Be prepared for hills in this town!!) Friendly staff. Decent breakfast.
