Hotel Quinta das Lagrimas - Small Luxury Hotels is our Luxury pick in Coimbra. It is an official 5-star hotel on Rua António Augusto Gonçalves, and it suits couples, special occasions and families who want calm surroundings, a spa and a garden.
Travellers who mainly want a bed close to the cathedrals will pay a lot for facilities they may not use. Guests who expect every corner to look new should also read the comments on the spa.
Location and getting around
Guests describe a quiet setting within a fifteen minute walk of the city centre and the river, and they rate the location 9.2 out of 10.
The Old Cathedral of Coimbra is about 1.3 km away, roughly 16 minutes on foot. The Monastery of the Holy Cross (Coimbra) and the New Cathedral of Coimbra are both 1.5 km away, about 19 minutes each. Coimbra is hilly, so the real walk may feel longer. These times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
Free parking is listed by the property, which helps if you arrive by car. Confirm availability for your dates.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 1,801 reviews, joint 2nd of the 8 hotels we compared. Staff earn the most praise: a friendly, professional team that guests describe as attentive and welcoming. The quiet location is the other recurring plus.
The spa draws mixed reactions. Guests mention a warm pool and massages, but some areas look old-fashioned and in need of maintenance. Breakfast covers a wide range: continental, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, American, buffet and breakfast to go are all listed.
