Carapinha Hotels

"Absolutely beautiful! Words cannot describe the opulence of this place. Rooms were clean, comfortable, but a bit dated (the blow dryer????) don’t pass up the opportunity to stay here. It’s a PALACE! Literally. The details in the decor, the grounds, the staff were amazing. Cannot say enough about this place. If you have the chance to stay, even for one night, DO IT! You won’t be disappointed. "

"Very clean and functional room."

"Theo are very Nice and Efficient."

"Staff so friendly and welcoming. Clean rooms, beautiful design of bar/lobby/restaurant as well as rooms. Breakfast buffet had many choices and was delicious food. The hotel is located immediately below the historic university buildings. Our room had a spacious balcony on a quiet courtyard (autumn). The rooftop patio offers beautiful views of the city. Staff provided a free drink upon arrival, a free glass of wine at 6pm, and brought chocolate and a bedtime story to the room in the evening. This is our favorite hotel in Portugal, improved only if they would provide a kettle or coffeemaker in the room."

"Good option for Coimbra, value for money, awkward room without windows and only skylights, but overall spacious and just fine. Breakfast was basic but in way…just fine as well. I would come back! "

"Beautiful hotel. Very clean. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Parking was relatively easy, just behind the building. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was average (long wait times, mediocre food) but the included buffet breakfast was wonderful. Would stay here again."

"Room was pleasant with a river view. I thought I had booked a double bed but the room had twin singles and we were told no double was available. Hotel didn’t seem especially busy but perhaps it was booked up."

"Location of the hotel was very convenient, Staff were lovely and very helpful. Room was very comfortable, highly recommend this hotel. "

"The pool is beautiful but cold this time of year."
