Guest Reviews
- Stéfani (10/5): Incrível - Conforto, jacuzzi, atendimento, chuveiro, pequeno almoço servido no quarto. Nem foi necessário solicitar berço para meu bebê e já o disponibilizaram! Fomos recebidos com espumante! E a jacuzzi já estava a aquecer 🙏🏻 uma estadia a repetir! Adoramos! Cheira um pouco a mofo mas é de se esperar numa “cave”, a limpeza atrás dos móveis também poderia estar melhor, havia algumas teias de aranha e pó. O horário de check out poderia ser pelo menos meio dia!
- Daan (10/5): - I liked it a lot! Our host was just awesome! Hidden gem... close to everything, Parking your rental car can be tricky, but your host will help you!!
- Pinto (9/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): - A nossa estadia foi simplesmente excelente. Desde o primeiro momento fomos recebidos com enorme simpatia e cuidado por parte dos anfitriões, cuja atenção permanente nos fez sentir sempre muito bem-vindos. Destacamos a agradável surpresa do champanhe e do sumo de laranja como bebida de boas‑vindas, acompanhados por um bolo absolutamente maravilhoso. O pequeno‑almoço foi excecional: muito saboroso, bem servido, apresentado em duas bonitas cestas e entregue no quarto por uma colaboradora cujo nome infelizmente não recordo, mas que foi extremamente atenciosa e cordial. O ambiente do quarto era incrível, diferente e muito acolhedor, contribuindo para uma experiência verdadeiramente relaxante. Não posso deixar de fazer referência ao espaçoço do duche, simplesmente lindo! Sem dúvida, uma estadia a repetir. Recomendamos vivamente! ó mesmo uma notinha, que não tira nada ao quão boa foi a estadia: o colchão do sofá‑cama da mezzanine é um bocadinho fino e acaba por não ser muito confortável para dormir
- Susana (10/5): -
- Antonio (5/5): - jacuzzi no quarto do cheiro excessivo a mofo e nao poder abrir a janela principal para arejar
- Michael delon (10/5): - Tous étaient parfaits
- Joaquim (10/5): -
- Gonçalo Nuno (10/5): -
- Derrick (10/5): Unique, affordable, fun stay in a great place with strong service. - Such a unique, fun, comfortable place to stay. My children were blown away and thought it was so special. The warm welcome, plus the service and breakfast was great. I read reviews that complained about the breakfast - I don’t really understand the complaints. It was fantastic! Also the steam room was so fun. We used it multiple times. The hot tub was great but took a very long time to warm up. If you are only staying for one night and really want to use the hot tub you may need to reach out in advance and let them know so they can clean / refill / heat the hot tub as early in the day as possible. We checked in at 3, and the hot tub was only warm by the time we went to bed. By the next morning it was hot and wonderful. If you’re staying multiple days you will be able to use it plenty no problem.
- Hal (10/5): Perfect in every way. - We were here on our honeymoon and rented the super delux flat with the hot tub, balcony, steam shower and on and on. Everything about it was perfect. The staff were awesome and the location is perfect! Beautiful views and a short walk to everything!
- Abhinav (5/5): The excitement about decor and hot tub did not last long - Unique setting and decor Space is not functional; toilet is half the size of a plane and interestingly placed right next to bed (where a night stand should be). Plug points are in the kitchenette only. Sofa bed is not comfortable at all even for kids.
- Mauro (9/5): - Alojamento fantástico. É exatamente como nas fotos, um cenário de aspeto medieval, muito espaçoso, jacuzzi maravilhoso. Sem duvida uma experiencia muito agradável e relaxante. Alguma humidade que se gerou por causa do jacuzzi, e o jacuzzi de 1 em 1 hora fazia uma espécie de limpeza mesmo desligado.
- Donizetti (8/5): Hospedagem fantástica daríamos nota 10 se não fosse a fanta de água quente no chuveiro - Atendimento nata 10! Quarto com Ideia e arquitetura única! Parece estávamos em um quarto de um Palácio medieval, de imediato assusta um pouco por causa da escadaria para chegar no quarto mas depois de entramos minha esposa e minha filha ficaram sem palavras, primeiro comentário da minha filha foi " PARECE A CAVERNA DO BATMAN" paredes em pedra rústica, móveis era colonial Atendimento e mimos fantásticos Café da manhã no quarto muito bom, mas poderia ter mais variedades. Principalmente para o paladar infantil Hidromassagem dentro do quarto muito boa mas poderia ter a água mais quente! Mini cozinha completa! Vista da Janela/porta dos fundos da para ver boa parte da cidade. Ficamos maravilhados! Daríamos nota 10 se não fosse o problema da fanta de água quente na acomodação Por causa da localização central não tem estacionanento próximo, chuveiro funciona quando quer! A pior coisa e chegar no hotel desesperado para tomar um banho quente após pegar em chuva e o chuveiro não esquenta! Foi passado para a administração que ficou de resolver, todos os dias depois da 22h não tinha água quente no chuveiro e mesmo quando tinha era morna e não quente. Banheiro muito pequeno e a porta não fechava. Se não fosse estas deficiências estaria tudo perfeito.
- Jesus (8/5): - Arquitectura da casa, correspondeu às expectativas
- Nogueira (9/5): -
- Danielly (9/5): Me arrependi de não ter me hospedado por mais de um dia hahah - O apartamento é muito espaçoso, os travesseiros são confortáveis e a cama também. O banheiro é realmente pequeno mas não acho que seja motivo para não se hospedar neste quarto pois o resto compensa tudo. Quando cheguei ao quarto ele estava muito quentinho mesmo com o AC desligado, a jacuzzi além de ser muito grande acaba por manter o lugar quentinho. Ela também tem várias funções de spa e tem como regular a temperatura. O ac não saía muito ar quente então aconselho deixar a jacuzzi ligada durante a noite para manter o calor do quarto. Para quem não quer sair para comer fora o apartamento tem Mini frigorífico, microondas e até fogão de indução. Também tem alguns talheres, guardanapos e copos. O café da manhã é de qualidade mas não sei se justifica o preço. Eu havia pedido para colocarem pétalas e balões no quarto e me disseram que iriam fazer, porém não fizeram e era uma surpresa de aniversário.
- Hamish (10/5): - Everything. The room was amazing. The kids were so in awe! The narrow road going up is a bit dodgy but we managed to find a park on the side.
- Benvindo (10/5): -
- Vitor (10/5): -
- Nuno Meira (8/5): No geral gostamos.. - Gostamos bastante do sítio em si pois é totalmente diferentes de tudo o que já tínhamos ido. Fomos recebidos com uma garrafa de champanhe e bolo caseiro. Ter sauna e jacuzzi no quarto é ótimo pois não implica ter de partilhar com outras pessoas ao mesmo tempo. A kitchenett era todos equipada de maneira a poder mos cozinhar lá, também disponibilizava de máquina de café, café, chás, açúcar... A cama e as almofadas eram bastante confortáveis, disponibilizaram roupões, chinelos de quarto e toalhas de banho, toucas, gel para as mãos. O quarto poderia estar mais bem limpo pois tinha muitas teias de aranha, o ar condicionado não aquecia na temperatura indicada, o jacuzzi demorou muito mais a aquecer do que o que nos foi dito e o mesmo tinha um pouco de lodo. A poltrona que está em frente às escadas tem um cheiro muito pouco agradável! O pequeno almoço não era mau mas poderia ser um pouco mais completo e podiam mandar leite de pacote, sumo de frasco, geleias embaladas em vez de ser como o enviam. Enviei mensagem para o alojamento através do Booking.com a pedir uma decoração romântica à qual não obtive resposta assim como pedia para indicar a hora de chegada e só podemos entrar às 15h15
- João (10/5): Sublime. A repetir. - Maravilhoso, tudo impecável. Staff muito prestável. Uma experiência a repetir. Pequeno almoço simples mas muito agradável e servido no quarto numa cestinha.
- Pasarin (10/5): -
- Emanuele (10/5): -
- Abel (8/5): -
- Regis (8/5): -
- Marc and Heidi (10/5): - Great location high on the hill just a short walk to the college & the famous library. Breakfast brought to your room in baskets every morning was a nice treat.
- Gail (10/5): - Wonderful little hotel up near the University. Super clean and the staff was very responsive. Fun little cafes near by, also restaurants.
- Kazumi (8/5): - The staff who checked us in was fantastic. The room was small, which is to be expected, but the location was great. The staff served us breakfast in our room, which was nice. Overall a wonderful place.
- Francesco (2/5): - Al benvenuto bollicine e torta, la ragazza molto gentile. È una cantina o caverna, molta umidità, senza finestre e il wc inutilizzabile! Le lenzuola sembravano umide, la seconda notte sono andato a dormire in macchina. Non mi sono mai trovato in una situazione simile. Sconsigliatissimo
- Ricardo J Silva (10/5): - Enjoy everything Could say
- michael (2/5): Didn’t happen - It’s impossible to rate our stay because the hotel had to cancel due to an issue. The surprising part is you are asking me to rate a stay that didn’t exist. I tried to cancel the booking through you but experienced nothing but incompetence from your company. Not the hotels fault
- Esther (10/5): - We felt like the staff really went above and beyond to make our stay incredible! The room always very unique and had all the necessities and the breakfast delivered to our room each morning was so lovely. Would absolutely recommend staying here!
- Dottie (10/5): - The best and nicest staff.
- Tobias (7/5): Es war mal was anderes, aber eine Nacht hat uns auch gereicht. - Ein Whirlpool und eine Dampfsauna im Zimmer ist schon eine tolle Sache. Unsere Tochter liebte auch den Goldkitsch. Die richtigen Betten waren bequem und man hat einen guten Blick auf den großen Fernseher. Das Frühstück wird einem ins Zimmer gebracht. Für ein Pärchen ist das Apartment gut geeignet. Das Apartment ist einfach nicht für 5 Personen geeignet. Es gab keinen Tisch und an der Theke fanden nur 3 Personen Platz, zumal es auch nur 3 Hocker gab. Das Klappbett war sehr hart. Die Toilette ist so klein, dass sich die Tür nicht schließen lässt, da die Knie im Weg sind. Der Whirlpool ist zwar toll, aber letztlich auch sehr laut.
- Raul (8/5): Great place, but not for mobility impaired - The place is 2-3 small townhouses in a cute cobblestone road near the university. The sign of the hotel blends with the facade , therefore we were not able to see it right away. The check in process was seamless. Our room was across the street on a renovated, 2 story room with jacuzzi. Breakfast is served in your room. The fridge did not work. If you need anything from the front desk you can message through WhatsApp but do not expect fast service. As the hotel is high in the hill, you need to walk downhill ( and then back up) if you want to go by the river. I would stay again.
- IRENA (10/5): - We stayed in this beautiful place in July and were amazed how clean and beautiful this place is. Breakfast was served in the cute baskets and it was delicious. Lady who works at front was so friendly and nice. We are definitely coming back and we would recommend this place from our heart….Irena and Pred with kids
- João José (10/5): - Atenção aos detalhes, simpatia e disponibilidade, belo pequeno almoço no quarto
- Jintana (6/5): - It is in the old city. The hotel is in the old building. Small. But the staff and service is good.
- Elena (8/5): - Bellissimo appartamento nella zona dell'Università. Dotato di ogni comfort. Molto particolare come mostrato nelle foto. Ci hanno offerto una bottiglia di spumante e della torta datta im casa subito al nostro arrivo. Pensiero moolto carino e non frequente. Colazione in camera varia ed ottima: frutta, prosciutto, formaggio, dolci, pane , succo d'arancia etc.... insomma di tutto e di più. Pulito e ordinato compresa jacuzzi e bagno turco. Peccato per lo scomodissimo wc altrimenti è struttura da 10 Camera con scale interne non adatto se si hanno problemi di deambulazione. Il wc davvero troppo piccolo. Se si è alti più di cm 170 le ginocchia sbattono contro la porta. Era forse meglio " rubare" un pò di spazio alla sauna o alla stanza a favore del wc.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very helpful staffs and good location, nice facility. I really enjoyed a big hot tub at our room,
- Santiago (8/5): - We really enjoyed our stay at Solar Antigo! The staff were very attentive and helpful. The hotel is in a central location, being both close to the university and close to the city center. The rooms were nicely designed, albeit not the best when it comes to functionality. The shower is right beside the bed, and since it’s see through you can always see the toilet. It’s not great when it comes to privacy in that regard. Beyond that, however, this was a great property, and we’d stay again!
- Bandeira (10/5): - Gostei de tudo, desde a receção até à saída! Cave bem aproveitada, com uma beleza única, decoração sem igual, cama muito boa, cozinha e WC originais, sem poder esquecer a simpatia da funcionária Catarina da receção e das Instalações (Jacuzzi e banho turco). Excelente receção e pequeno almoço! Recomendo sem duvida! De não pode abrir a porta para as traseiras!
- Ana Isabel (8/5): Bonito para disfrutar sobre todo el jacuzzi - Me gustó porque tienes intimidad y es muy bonito No me gustó que el baño(bater )es muy pequeño y no puedes ni cerrar la puerta y que el colchón no es muy cómodo para dormir. Para acceder al alojamiento hay que subir muchas cuestas y con el coche cuesta acceder.
- Guillaume (9/5): -
- Zoltán (10/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): - Helpful friendly staff, welcome drink and snack and breakfast delivered to your room and great location.
- Martijn (9/5): -
- J.C (10/5): - The people at the reception desk and housekeeping were efficient and kind
- Esther (10/5): Ubicación ideal , con una estancia de lujo . - La singularidad de la habitación . La bañera hidromasaje , la ducha con sauna .. un lujo de habitación Nos gustó todo
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Denny (10/5): - We really enjoyed the room delivery of our welcome gift and breakfast. We were checked in quickly and efficiently. The room has a unique and fun decor.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best spot in Coimbra - Amazing stay! Cute and romantic rooms, the staff were friendly and so very helpful. Highly recommend!
- Julianag (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ivor (6/5): Pleasant - The room had a special quirky atmosphere. Plenty of room Stairs directly down from the street. Breakfast is brought to room and is not good quality, no choices. Toilet is so small you cannot close the door, it's open at the top and it's directly beside the bed.
- Elena (10/5): - Staff friendliness was the highlight of the stay. Great find for the budget!!
- Ken (10/5): Fantastic apartment built into the historic part of Coimbra! Included a Hot Tub!! - Breakfast was delivered to our room at the time we arranged. Big baskets of breads, eggs, cereal, butter, jams and juice.
- Marcy (6/5): - Unique rooms. Traveling with a friend…not romantic stay. Geared towards couples
- Virginia (10/5): The staff was extremely professional, friendly and kind! - Our beautifully furnished room had 2 levels, an ensuite Turkish bath and an oversized hot tub. The stone work was amazing and it felt like you were staying in the royal suite of a castle.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Luxurious - Our Room was luxurious. Staff extremely helpful. Very nice breakfast. A little hard to find. I dont recommend to use Rua dos Apostolos because very steep and narrow road. Go by way of Rua Padre Antonio Vieria which is a main road and intersects Rua dos Apostolos. Parking is on the street right nearby if you are lucky.
- PRASHANT (4/5): - Place is at very odd location. Parking is not feasible. It’s on a slope steep hills, place is so small, bathroom where you cannot extend your arms. Staff is definitely 5 plus. Very helpful but facility I would not recommend others.
- John (10/5): Adorable small hotel. - Amazing place up on a hill very near the university. The staff was super helpful with everything from helping us find parking to recommending restaurants where we had our best meals in Portugal.
- Tom (10/5): - Very nice staff. Allowed us to stay extra day when wife was ill.
- Dana (7/5): Disappointing for the money and the 9.1 star review - Beautiful jacuzzi. Bed was very comfortable & pillows great. Bathroom is not big enough to sit down in and actually shut the door. Door doesn’t go to the top and it’s right against the bed. Absolutely no privacy. Space was unusual. It would be much better with decent lighting.
- Steven (10/5): - We LOVED our stay here! Right from when we checked in, we got a glass of champagne and a snack, followed by a wonderful breakfast hand delivered to our room the next morning. Everything was spotless, and the staff was very welcoming. The only thing that you should be aware of is there is no lift, so if you can’t do stairs, ask for a main floor suite. Highly recommend this place in Coimbra!
- Flávia (8/5): The most romantic place in Coimbra - Pretty much everything - The Turkish bath wasn’t working; - The staff this time wasn’t as empathic as our previous stays - Breakfast doesn’t meet the standard set by the room; you’d expect a superb breakfast not one composed by unnatural orange juice or little variety of goods, for example.
- Trish (10/5): - Great hotel. The rooms were very interesting and comfortable - Especially our bed and the shower. Uber seems to be the best way to get to the hotel, but you’ll probably need to do a brief walk down the hill to get to the hotel doorway. Sometimes, if you’re lucky the Uber driver will drop you off or pick you up at the doors. You’ll appreciate this more when you see the town.
- Sandra (10/5): Stay in Coimbra like kings ! - The Room was spectacular, all in old original stones, regal furniture, and with a spa. We were welcomed with Champagne (and juice for the kids) and cake, and the breakfast basket was perfect. the staff were friendly and helpful - highly recommend On the second day the moisture in the air, but it was still worth it.
- Zack (7/5): Not romantic at all because of the toilet location. - Beautiful room, great location, friendly, efficient staff, in-room Jacuzzi and sauna. The toilet was right next to the bed; worse, the door to the toilet could not be closed when it was occupied. Also, the toilet room door had to be carefully lifted when opening and closing to prevent dragging it noisily over the floor. All of that took the romance and mystery out of the experience. Also, with access to the bed from only one side, it was uncomfortable and inconvenient to get in and out of bed on the other side.
- cindy (10/5): Eclectic delight in Coimbra - A unique hotel with individually designed rooms was awesome! The attention to detail from the welcome wine and cake to cookies for the journey home- this was an excellent choice for our time in Coimbra.
- Sara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aloísio (8/5): Very good -
- Dawn (8/5): Quirky hotel with wonderful staff! - For a fun and fanciful stay, one couldn't do any better than the Solar Antigo Luxury Coimba hotel! The decor is over the top - including a giant jacuzzi! - but the staff and location can't be beat. The hotel is well located, in the heart of Coimbra, surrounded by delicious restaurants and lovely sights to see.
- ruth (10/5): Amazing stay - This is a marvellous beautiful two level room equipped with all amenities including a jacuzzi.The view is absolutely stunning. The service is excellent. The lady ( sorry I forgot the name) was very helpful and pleasant. She helped with our luggage and parking site. On check in we were served with wine and cakes. Breakfast was served in the room with plenty of foods. We were given some cookies as a goodbye gift. Well done. Other hotels should take note of this gesture and follow suit.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Clean hotel with very attentive and friendly staff - Everyone was super lovely and helpful and the room was very clean and well kept! My only criticism was that we were given a room with a jacuzzi close to the dining area. It was a total wasted space in my opinion and we managed to knock our heads many times as the area seemed a little haphazard. The room was nice although there wasn’t a lot of space to open a luggage bag. Having said all of that the team went out of their way to be incredibly helpful and nice.
- CYRIL (10/5): - Amazing from the moment we checked in. So many fun details!!
- Darren (8/5): One night stay - Very cool ambiance and decorations. The location was close to town, only a 10 min walk. A bit cramped for a tall person, many obstacles.
- kelly (10/5): - The property has an amazing view over town, very unique interior which was clean and well laid out. We loved the jetted tub and that breakfast was included as well as a welcome snack and drink.
- Wendy (10/5): - This is a quirky property in a good way and a fabulous location close to the university. They are stairs down to the city centre and and an elevator/funicular just a minute from the property if needed. The staff were truly wonderful. At check-in, they made recommendations for walkable restaurants including one only a minute away, which ended up being the best restaurant meal of our 30 day trip. A staff member came to walk us through the amenities including the big Jacuzzi tub and the mini fridge with water, juice, and beer that was replenished daily. They also delivered two glasses of bubbly and some beautiful homemade cake to welcome us. I know all the rooms are quite different and of course, we only saw our own. The entrance to ours was from the outside so we had no stairs to deal with. We loved all the big exposed beams and beautiful brick work on the walls and the ceiling. We are on the taller side and we did whack our heads a couple of times on the lower beams :-). I think that some of the other rooms off the ground level have higher ceilings so you probably contact the property directly if this was a concern. Another lovely touch was the breakfast basket that got delivered every day with an assortment of pastries, cereal, some scrambled eggs, fruit/juice. It was also quirky but it got a little something into us before we started the day. If we were ever back in Coimbra I would rebook at this property immediately.
- Akanksa (10/5): - Lovely property! Free breakfast daily and jacuzzi was a highlight. Right in the historic area of Coimbra. Would recommend.
- Meredith (10/5): You NEED to stay here if you're visiting Coimbra - WOW. This hotel blew our expectations and anticipations out of the water. From the first interaction, they, especially Catarina, were incredibly friendly, helpful and helped us settle right in to Coimbra. Then there's the property itself. The original stone walls and arch ways, the VIEWS and the furnishings are just breathtaking. Out of all the places we stayed in Portugal during our 10 day trip, this was the location we wished we could go back to most. Cannot recommend highly enough.
- Mark (10/5): - The rooms were awesome, with arches and low ceilings but really nice. Comfortable beds and breakfast delivered to your room were great. Close to most major attractions and restaraunts.
- Katherine (10/5): - The room was clean and we had a great view of the city. The breakfast was good and the champagne and cake at check in was a nice added bonus. The walk up to the hotel was steep so best to take an overnight bag and leave everything else back in the car.
- Alain (10/5): - Such a refreshing and pleasant surprise offered by this renovated 17 century property
- Patricia (10/5): Charming location!! - Most amazing rooms. I had the 1 bedroom room with hottub. So cute and comfy. My friends had the spa suite. Amazing!! Welcome gifts and goodbye gifts. The breakfast each morning delivered in a basket and more food than you need. Presentation was on point. Very clean. My only concern was rhe noise aa my room faced the roadside so you heard everyone walking by. Hotel was in a center pointe which all cafes and shopping were walkable. The people were amazing and sweet!! Cant wait to stay again next year!!
- JANICE (10/5): Coimbra fun! - The staff was incredible! Beautiful view! Parking was touchy but all was great in general!
- Kathleen (7/5): Quaint high end hotel that's a little difficult for tall people - Friendly and warm staff. Comfortable beds in very unique room.. loved the jacuzzi. 😃 The bathroom is right next to the bed and it's so small that you can't actually shut the door when sitting down. There is a sofa that is lofted over the bed and even though that sofa was useless to us it meant that I couldn't stand up straight. (if you are over 1.8m or 6ft you will also have to hunch) And you definitely can't stand up in the shower which is shorter still. Finally, my travel partner slipped on the wet stones getting out of the jacuzzi and lost a toenail. So caution! There's nothing there to help traction. Do note that this place is at the top of the hill AND there are stairs into the apartment so it's not accessible to all mobility levels.
- Gillian (8/5): - We loved our stay here..quirky and different but excellent…Anna and the staff went above and beyond 🙌
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Quirky, fun place to stay. Evening staff was just great with recommendations. Mention Katarina’s name at Sette! Details make this place very special. Breakfast has something for everyone - and lots of it! …and a welcome drink and a little present when you leave. What a lovely experience!
- Greg (4/5): - 3 levels of stairs in guest room - no. Breakfast delivered made up for terrible reviews as did good check in lady.
- Kristin (6/5): - I would not stay again. The first room they put us in we couldn’t even fit our luggage. It had a rickety spiral staircase to the bed. We asked to change and were out in a better room, the toilet room was a small tunnel and was musty. The best thing was the in room breakfast.
- Georgis (10/5): Sexy apartment 😁 - Just an amazing apartment for couples. Access by car is kind of tricky and there is parking on the nearby streets. Needs fresh air...
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Colin (1/5): Solar Anti-luxury spa - Location was ideally placed to visit the historic city and Coimbra University buildings and sights. The accommodation didn't live up to expectations based on the description and pictures of the property. The Spa apartment located in basement had no fresh air ventilation and ac unit recirculated already damp air Spa pool in property created very damp atmosphere and the room smelled of damp conditions. The quality of room furnishings and kitchenette area cupboards was very poor and dated and in need of replacement. Spa pool had undergone numerous repairs. Lighting in room was inadequate. There was no storage place for clothing or personal belongings and no space to air or dry towels used in the shower. Very poor use of space and very thin mattress on spare bed made it uncomfortable for our family group of 3.
- Alejandro (10/5): - Nice property.
- Sonia (9/5): Magical apartment in perfect position to visit Coimbra - Magical apartment with amazing Services
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - We loved it here! Great customer service. They made us feel welcome and very special. This was by far our favorite place we stayed at in Portugal.
- Kathleen (10/5): - Our room was incredible, as was the breakfast that was delivered to our room each morning. It’s worth noting the hotel is at the top of a hill, there is an elevator that you can take to the top.
- tanya (10/5): - Don't hesitate -- book here! After a delayed, somewhat frantic rerouted journey from Porto due to a strike, walking into Solar Antigo was like a ray of sunshine. We were tired and a bit deflated only to be greated (hours before check-in) by friendly staff with drinks and warm sweet bread. The room was ideal, comfortable, beautiful, with everything we needed including plenty of hot water, a mini-frig and a large comfortable bed (which my daughter immediately fell asleep in). Refreshed we wandered just a few blocks over to enjoy the university, Biblioteca Joanina & the old town. It was pouring but we didn't mind after such a wonderful check-in experience (and our rainjackets!). The location while a bit tricky to find (we came from the bus station via Bolt and our driver asked for directions from some very helpful university students) is ideal for exploring. In the age of self-catering apts (which we use frequently) Solar Antigo is a reminder of what that often causes you to miss -- interaction with locals and the value of service. Stay at Solar Antigo!
