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!

Nice property.

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.

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!

Staff was amazing!!! Arriving by car was a bit of a challenge but our stay was amazing!!! Loved the welcome champagne and cake, the in room hot tub, and delightful breakfast basket delivered to room. It was a five minute walk to the university and Machado museum and I highly recommend both!!!

Beautiful room, very friendly and helpful staff . Excellent breakfast brought to our room. Only downside is it’s hard to find.

Great location for a great price. Be warned the street is bit steep and narrow and on a hill, however an Uber will make it happen if you have a lot of luggage. Wouldnt call this a 4 star. Would rate it more a 3 star. Our room was a bit small but manageable. Great and friendly service

It was really cute and a lot of space for the cost. Beds were comfy, free espresso, beer, and tea in the room. It’s within walking distance of the funicular, so even though this hotel is near the top of the hill by the university, you can get up from the Main Street pretty easily and cheaply. The spiral stairs are a bit nervous to navigate. The Wi-Fi unfortunately only worked on the ground floor.

Great hotel on a side street in Coimbra which is a beautiful small city with historic University . Cute room with 2 stories that we had and a circular staircase going from living room /hot tub area to bedroom. Lovely helpful staff. It's a little hard to find as exterior signs are not allowed in this area so you have to have the house number for the registration.

The service was amazing and the rooms so unique. We were greeted with cake and wine. They were extremely accommodating and gave us a whole house with a Jacuzzi instead of a room because it was open. Only downside is that it is always a hike to get there on foot, but then again that is all of Coimbra.

Our room was very clean and large. The staff worked so hard everyday to make it a geat experience. We didn't realize the driving and parking situation in advance. The rooms are located on a very narrow steep hill. I'm not a stunt driver, so we parked in a lot a few streets below and took an elevator up. The views are amazing. Its a great place to stay!

The hotel was very clean. Our room was on the sixth floor and no elevator. This was fine except for getting our luggage to and from the room. Parking for rental car was difficult in this part of town. It was also very near the University so it was loud at night.

The service was excellent. The staff recommendations for restaurants were excellent. The room was great with great views and a great spa/hot tub. Loved the breakfast brought to our room. It was very good. The location is very close to Coinbra University. Dining was close. Shopping was reasonably close but coming back was steep uphill, but not a problem for us. I recommend parking at public parking by the River and take an Uber to the hotel. The cost was minimal. Parking by the hotel was limited and challenging for people not comfortable with narrow one way streets with a steep incline. I highly recommend this hotel. It was unusual but fun.

Room was very small and we had to take a steep stair to get to the bedroom part of the room.

Property is located in the old part of the city which can be charming. However, it is near the university and the students are young people who party very loud, particularly on Tuesday nights and Thursday nights when they don’t have class the next day.
