Ricardo is a gem!
We had a wonderful stay at Sophia Studios. Ricardo was the best host. He was helpful with our luggage and gave us good recommendations for restaurants and how to travel around Coimbra on foot. He made dinner reservations for us. His help made our stay wonderful.

Excellent location with easy access to cultural activities and transportation. They also accommodated us by safeguarding our luggage and placing it in our room when it was ready because we arrived before the 3pm check in, so we could explore Coimbra.

Location was great - everything walkable and close (waterfront. dining, car rental, train station). Staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a kitchenette (everything needed). The units are small (bed, shower, area to get around the bed), and no elevator. We stayed 3 nights and would stay again.

Great location!
Great location close to historic Coimbra. Be sure to explore the many alley/side streets nearby. Wonderful clean, comfortable, well appointed room. Be sure to have breakfast at O Croisant and an espresso at Santa Cruz Cafe, both just steps away from the front door. Lots of stairs to see the best of Coimbra so bring your walking shoes

Too noisy.
This hotel is facing to the street. It is too way noisy especially at night, ie people yelling, cars passing by ….. we can’t sleep all nights.
One more drawback was hot water was just good for one person for shower. The next person needed to wait for hours. If you are planning to come in winter, you need to think twice to choose this hotel.
The owner takes forever to respond my inquiries.
