The coolest hostel in Coimbra. Great staff amazing location wonderful decoration. All of that at a very affordable price. Did I mentioned the breakfast is included? What a found! You get to stay in a renovated e 3 stores old building with a fresh white clean look.
The rooms (at least double bedroom) are awesome, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast is OK. The bathrooms are the main issue - they are not very clean, some locks and some shower head holders are broken, and they are underground which means they are constantly filled with moisture.
It's a good place to sleep, but a few improvements would make it perfect. Our room had four beds, but only 3 plugs. Also, the individual lights are too bright (two of them make the same light as the main one). A part from that, the beds are comfortable, and the room was clean. The bathroom is quite clean too, and the showers have soap (in case you forget yours). The breakfast is good and complete, and the hostel is placed near the center of the city and the touristic places. I'd get back, and I'll recommend it.
Set in a restored 1930s building, this casual hostel is 13 minutes' walk from Biblioteca Joanina, 14 minutes' walk from Old Cathedral of Coimbra and 2 km from Portugal dos Pequenitos.
