The hotel is quite large and comfortable, and the room was huge for a single person. The bathroom deserved a makeover, however, with a larger bench for the sink and a newer hairdryer. The location is good and you can easily walk to the historic center (about 5 minutes to the Santa Cruz church and Ferreira Borges street). The University... More

We have stayed in Tivoli Coimbra Hotel only one night during our Portugal trip. We arrived there in absolutely dreadful, dark and rainy day. Lobby & reception area looked like from the 70s, so I started to worry about it. Luckily, check-in process was quick, efficient and professional. We received key card to our Superior Room number #504. Hotel is... More

If you don't fear getting depressed once you step inside the hall stuck in the early 70s or having to pay 8 euros for 1 hour wifi (!!!) than you can cope with Tivoli Coimbra Hotel. Rooms are large and clean but untouched since the Templar age. Everything is oldstyle from the brown moquette to the faint lights. Parking costs... More

We stayed at Tivoli Coimbra for 3 nights. The hotel is located in what seems to be a small industrial area of Coimbra, which is not the nicest but ok (5-10 min walk to the old city which is the main tourist attraction). The rooms were big and clean. The service gets 6 out of 5 points! The staff did... More

but it's not really a 4* hotel... it looks like it got stuck in the 80's and needs renovation to keep the announced quality. Bathroom is not like in the pictures... the one I got is a lot older and I was given a twin bed instead of a king size dispite making the right reservation. Mattresses are very stiff.... More

Stayed here for 2 nights - room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Reception staff pleasant and helpful. Decent breakfast - fresh fruit and pancakes were my choice. Central location. Would happily stay here again. More

Well located, nearby city center and several bus stops. The room was wide, with lots of light and a view to the university. On the downside, despite some improvements in the lobby and restaurant, the room needed profound refurbishment and redecoration, as it was old and not cozy. More

The staff go out of their way to cater for you every request. The rooms are excellent, best nights sleep in nearly a week. The restaurant does excellent food. I'll be looking out for their sister hotels in the future. More

We stayed at the Tivoli for two nights during our visit to Coimbra. It's a 5-10 minute walk to the interesting parts of the city; on the other hand, it's pretty close to several car-rental agencies, which was useful since we rented a car on our way out of Coimbra. You definitely don't want to drive within the old city... More
