Ilha 12 Suites

Full of character and historical charm. Right in the heart of old town with great views!

Not much. Sound insulation was somewhat lacking such that our neighbours in room next door disturbed us a little.

Amazing location, beautiful building, really comfortable bed and patient staff.

Great location. Friendly staff.

Entrance for cars is challenging to say the least. Haha.

* Modern and spacious room; The property is a heritage manor/hacienda - sturdy old building. The floor that I stayed on has 9 rooms - you can see a big ballroom that houses 4-5 of these rooms. * Nice view of the river and the hill on the other side. * Walking distance via Rua da Ilha to Joaquim António de Aguiar (and all the shops/restaurants) nearby. However, it is a steep downhill and walk down a long set of stairs. Climbing back up can be strenuous for those with weak legs/knees. * If you walk on the other side of Rua da Ilha, the University of Coimbra, its large square, the famous library are very near. * The Old Cathedral is just round the corner. * Nice kitchenette for quick cooking, hot water, toast, etc. * Only 2 Km from Coimbra-B. You can take taxi (around 8Euro) from the station, or take the U1 bus to Portagem stop next to Coimbra and climb up the hill (if luggage is not heavy). * Going up and down the hill was nice due to the panoramic views. * Free WiFi works well! * Limited amount of parking available. Convenient.

* No elevator - rooms are on the second floor. You have to carry luggage up and down the stairs. * The room that I stayed in had no power outlet. There is one for TV - which is high up. That didnt work for my charger. There is one inside the bathroom - had to use it. Not very convenient. * No breakfast in the hotel. However, there are many cafes within walking distance. * It is more like a AirBnB - not like a hotel where you can expect staff to be around 24x7. If you prefer a hotel on flat ground, then this is not for you.
