Hotel Bragança

The hotel has a great location. Is in the center of the Coimbra, you can walk to the points of interest from the hotel. Many handcrafts stores and places to eat. From the hotel to the bus station a taxi would be like 5 euros. The room was OK. I said because was so cold, heater probably wasn't working but overall was fine. The room and the bathroom were clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Pleasantly surprised! This hotel is directly across the street from the train station but trains do not run in the evenings and it was fairly quiet. Great location and nice breakfast. Service was wonderful! Hotel doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is up-to-date and clean.

Het bed wat te smal en erg zachte matras. Ontbijt wat beperkt. Voordeel, je zit in het centrum dicht bij restaurants.

Ottima accoglienza: ci accoglie una pesona gentilssima, che ci fa parcheggiare subito davanti all'entrata dell'hotel, e ci spiega cosa si può vedere in città. La camera è ampia, con bagno nuovo e tutto pulitissimo, esposta verso il fiume. Non si sente rumore perchè la finestra è nuova e isola complentamente il rumore della strada sottostante. Il letto è comodo e ampio. La posizione dell'hotel è strategica: davanti alla stazione da un lato e dall'altro c'è una serie di stradine che portano direttamente nel centro storico e verso la cattedrale e l'università. La colazione ottima, in una sala tranquilla. L'arredamento anni 50-60 sembra un pò vecchiotto ma si rivela piacevole. Nel complesso tutto veramente ottimo. Wifi debole, ma è indicato che c'è solo nella hall.

Imagine yourself in the roar of the 50s, alighting at the station of Coimbra, and finding yourself in a neighbourhood of modern hotels, flashing lights, and an overall welcoming environment. Right next to the station, you have Hotel Bragança, at the time probably considered sky-high. You climb the steps, and you walk in a hall decorated in a sober but elegant manner, with a lounge filled with people smoking cigars in their leather chairs. You go up to your room, to find elegant iron beds and a large bathtub, where you can rest for a while before facing the brouhaha of the student city. That might have been it, half a century ago. Now, Hotel Bragança stands right next to the decay of an abandoned building, facing another hotel that, though it was certainly vibrant at the time, now looks like it has been closed for over three decades. Hotel Bragança itself, still hosting, seems to have stopped in time. The three stars it boasts will surprise you -- currently, it has the comfort of a regular bed and breakfast, no fancy extras, nothing extravagant, down to the basics. But the building might gain your sympathy for being authentically old and not fashionably retro. It is perfectly fine if you are, like I was during my stay, just looking for a place not too expensive to spend a night on your way elsewhere. The rooms are clean, they give you a small bar of soap, the breakfast is nothing special (but then again, people have been spoilt when it comes to hotel breakfasts and tend to expect everything, from scrambled eggs to caviar), the internet access is still done through a public desktop at the common room, all extras (like the toothbrush you forgot) are paid. A major plus: the view is great and the windows open! I don’t know about you, but it exasperates me when, to prevent you from smoking or from wanting to fly, I don’t know, the windows are locked tight at hotels. And you can still rest for a while before facing the brouhaha of the student city.

O hotel possui uma excelente localização, bem ao lado da estação de coimbra, tendo bons bares e mercados próximos. Os pontos turísticos e a universidade são próximos. O quarto é absurdamente espaçoso, apesar de antigo. O aquecimento estava ótimo para uma noite fria de inverno. Ganhei como cortesia o café da manhã e estava saboroso. O atendente da recepção foi extremamente solicito e amigável. Certamente, quando retornar, me hospedarei lá novamente.

Hotel muy antiguo aunque necesita actualizarse,esta muy bien situado y limpio.

Très bon accueil, en Français. Mais chambre un peu vétuste (je savais pas qu'on en faisait encore des télés comme ça) mais très propre. Agréable qu'il y ait un petit balcon. Pour le petit déjeuner il y avait presque tout, mais pas de fruits frais (mais pour 4 euros je ne vais pas me plaindre).

hotel simples, antigo mas bem localizado precisando de uma reforma mas ótimo atendimento do pessoal

The same story as in Tomar - Coimbra railway station doesn't have lockers. And this is a problem if you' re traveling with (heavy) backpacks. So we asked the receptionist in this hotel if they could hold our backpacks. Of course they did't it and with no charge. Thanks again, hotel Braganca.
