    shower pressure
    invoice denial

    i must say, the breakfast was absolutley delightful, too bad it couldn't compensate for the atrocious shower pressure. i almost thought about giving a glowing review, only to be denied a company invoice at checkout, which woudl ve been a breeze if they weren't understaffed. the staff was nice, but i expect more for my hard-earned money.

    fantastic restaurant
    parking issues

    Had a lovely stay at Sapientia Boutique! Super cozy Junior Suite with very nice views and a fantastic restaurant on-site. Breakfast could be better, but the atmosphere is charming and the staff were genuinely cute. Just a heads up about parking, plan ahead!

    breathtaking views
    steep streets

    The rooftop seating area was stunning, offering breathtaking views of the

    city, especially at sunset. The staff were genuinely attentive and their warm hospitality was evident. However, navigating the steep streets to the hotel was a workout, so be prepared. Overall, a great place to enjoy the charm of Coimbra.

    themed room

    cozy, cozy, cozy

    The rooftop terrace offered fine views. The unique themed room was beautifully appointed, with local artwork and a charming bedtime story leaflet. I loved the varied breakfast options featuring delicious pastries and fresh local fruits, setting a good tone for my day.

    would recommend 😊❤️

    unique rooms
    narrow streets
    shower pressure

    rooftop views of Coimbra, unique themed rooms, beautiful courtyard for dining

    Navigating the narrow, hilly streets to find this hotel can be a hassle!!! The shower pressure could definitely use an upgrade!!! Some rooms' proximity to smoking areas leads to unpleasant odors inside!!! Wi-Fi issues can be quite bothersome!!!

    lovely breakfast
    beautiful outdoor area
    spacious junior suite
    poor shower pressure

    I previously stayed in coimbra, but sapientia boutique exceeded my expectations this time. The lovely breakfast and beautiful outdoor area. The junior suite was spacious and provided a great view.

    shower pressure could definitely use an upgrade.

    kind staff
    themed room
    limited parking

    great experience , but limited parking

    The staff was exceptionally kind, welcoming us with refreshments right after our long journey. The room was themed around a writer, complete with books and a lovely bedtime story leaflet, which made the stay charming. The overall decor of the hotel created a cozy atmosphere, truly making us feel at home. Breakfast was impressive, featuring an array of sweet and savory options that were all delicious.

    The limited parking situation was a bit inconvenient, especially during peak hours.

    Just a reliable pick for a weekend escape in Coimbra with outstanding value for money. The complimentary breakfast was a nice surprise with plenty of options. Make sure to inquire about parking availability ahead of time.
