Hotel Mondego

A great spot right on the Mondego river

The Hotel Mondego was a very good place to stay. The location was perfect. The people were very friendly and helpful. My wife noticed that there were chocolates in the room on the first day but not on subsequent days. She asked about it and was told it was a first-day-only gift. But soon, we were receiving chocolates on other days as well. The room was always clean. The bed was comfortable. There was one problem, though. The window in the bathroom was frosted glass, but there was no curtain or shade. At night, when you were using the bathroom (with the lights on, of course), you could easily see shapes and motion in the bathroom when looking from the street. I included a frame from a video I took where I asked my wife to wave as I observed from across the street. I was pretty surprised at what I was able to see. I think it would be pretty obvious what was going on if I were to be undressing, or drying off after a shower, or "using the facilities". I showed the video to the staff and suggested they put up a curtain or a shade. At night, we always used the bathroom with the lights off. There was enough "street light" coming in to the bathroom to be able to see but with the lights off, privacy was not an issue.

We spent 2 nights at Hotel Mondego and overall had a really good time. The rooms are HUGE, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, I’ve never experienced such a big bed in Europe before. It was such a treat! The only issue we ran into was with the showers. Ours leaked water all over the bathroom floor, so we had to line up towels just to keep the water from spreading. Our family members in another room had the same problem, except their shower was actually missing an entire panel. Thankfully, the housekeeping staff was lovely. When I asked for extra towels, the housekeeper not only brought more but also offered to take out the trash, which was so thoughtful. On our second night, the hotel happened to be celebrating their 4th anniversary, and they surprised us with cake when we returned in the evening, a really sweet touch. Breakfast had a very nice variety. I’d recommend enjoying it if it’s included with your room. If not, the café right across the street is a fantastic option with great service and a more typical Portuguese breakfast.

The staff was super nice and attentive. The rooftop bar was really cool to hang and take pics.

Excellent location. Comfortable and clean rooms. Helpful staff.

The hotel was extremely nice with a very friendly staff. Location was great, walki g distance to many shops and restaurants.

Very close to the heart of downtown. Clean hotel and friendly staff

Very convenient!

Wonderful, especially for the price! Super clean, even in the grout and the corners! Nice staff. Close to restaurants and right around the corner from the riverfront. Easy walkable compared to other areas and I had a medical boot on my foot. Breakfast Buffet was really good too

All of the staff at Hotel Mondego - from the front desk, to the kitchen, to the room service and the rooftop bar — were exceptional. They truly made us feel welcomed and attended too throughout our stay! The accommodations were clean, spacious, and comfortable and the hotel was in perfect walking distance of all there is to see in Coimbra. 100% would stay again.
