Change The World Hostels - Coimbra - Almedina

I love this property and how it supports the goodwill they do. João was fantastic... very helpful and friendly

Nothing.... just that Google map gave a long winded way to the hostel, when it was just a short walk...

Room was clean and looked like the photos. There was no AC but a floor ventilator that worked well and cooled us enough. The property was very well located, close to the main attractions on a pedestrian street, just a short walk from where the taxi can drop you off. There is no elevator, but this was not a problem for us. Staff was kind and helpful, very responsive through messages.

The shower area is very small. It would be helpful to have hooks on the walls.

The staff and volunteers were amazing people and made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. The hostel was also in a very central location and there was live music playing in the street outside in the evenings.

Nothing!

The beds were good and the showers and bathroom areas were a bit more private than I’d expected, though not really necessary.

The location is not the best. Located on a hill overlooking the city, if you have more than a backpack, it’s a challenge. More importantly, every night I was there the noise, celebrating, shouting went on from 9pm to 3am. The local shops informed me that from the middle to end of June, this is case. However, the staff at the hostel denied any knowledge. In this one aspect, I cannot recommend it. The hostel is five floors, no elevator, and my bed was on the 5th floor. Again, not a major issue, but not easy if your backpack is more that 10-13kg.
