The hotel was centrally located but is not a 4* property. I would suggest it’s a basic 3* in terms of decor, bathrooms etc. Rooms are a decent size, Bed is comfy, shower was hot with good pressure and towels were good. Breakfast options are limited
A superb historic property under private management and ownership - actually, in the ownership of the same family for over 400 years altho’ now a member of the Small Luxury Hotels marketing system affiliated with Hilton. The property in its adjoining Gardens are a destination in themselves, along with the nearby (400m) Santa Clara monastery. They may be sufficient for some visitors, but it’s about a 15 minute walk to the centre of Coimbra and it’s main historical area.
Arthur Wellesley - aka Viscount Wellington - was a visitor during his Iberian campaign, so you’re in good company.
Staff are superb and obviously hand picked by the owner. The receptionist when I arrived (Evening of Sunday 16 February) was simply the best I’ve ever experienced, Singapore, Bangkok and Tokyo included. Genuinely fascinating to talk to about the history of the building and some of the previous guests (famous but ‘passed’ celebrities so no confidence is breached).
Best to stay in the rooms in the main building if possible, if tales of the previous occupant intrigue. Although the spa Is impressive – up to best Thai standards - and I guess the adjoining spa rooms may be equally good.
Overall, an absolute gem that far exceeded expectations.
Horrível! A localização seria excelente não fosse um domingo uma discoteca na rua até às 4 da manhã com musica alta, hora a que consegui adormecer, mesmo com comprimidos.....Foram cobradas taxas turísticas e não passaram recibo das mesmas. Na compra indicava que todas as taxas estavam incluídas. Não nos forneceram a password do Wifi sequer....O colchão não era grande coisa e não havia lençol de cima....só o edredon, que, com o ar condicionado a funcionar, não salvou muito a estada...Também não havia uma garrafinha de agua com chá e café no quarto, ou só a agua e uma chaleira....Mas mau mau foi mesmo a discoteca....Não dá para dormir ali...
A minha estadia no Hotel Exe Wellington, na Figueira da Foz, pautou-se por um atendimento de excelência. O serviço prestado na receção continua a ser um dos pontos fortes do hotel: a equipa é sempre extremamente atenciosa, simpática e profissional, demonstrando verdadeira preocupação com o bem-estar dos hóspedes.
No entanto, desta vez fiquei instalado no segundo andar e a experiência não correspondeu ao nível a que estou habituado enquanto cliente regular. O quarto atribuído (28), apesar de limpo e bem equipado, revelou-se demasiado frio e pouco acolhedor. A dimensão ampla, aliada a um ambiente húmido, tornou o espaço menos confortável. Habitualmente fico alojado em andares superiores, onde os quartos apresentam outro tipo de conforto e envolvência, pelo que esta mudança foi algo dececionante.
O W.C., embora recente, apresentava um odor desagradável a esgoto e a ausência de bidé é um ponto menos positivo.
Em contrapartida, o pequeno-almoço mantém a excelente qualidade habitual. A variedade, frescura dos produtos e simpatia das funcionárias contribuem claramente para iniciar o dia da melhor forma.
De forma global, o atendimento continua irrepreensível e o pequeno-almoço permanece um destaque muito positivo. Contudo, a experiência no segundo andar não esteve à altura do padrão a que o hotel me habituou noutras estadias.
Hotel bem situado, quarto razoável, limpo, não gostámos da piscina e do jacuzzi, ambos com pouca qualidade e a água parecia pouco limpa, a sauna é razoável.
Hotel exige caução de 10€por cada robe, um dos robes fornecido estava roto e sem presilhas para o cinto, para um hotel de 4 estrelas acho que não devia de acontecer, foi trocado após reclamação.
O pequeno almoço é bom com bastante variedade de alimentos. Acho que podiam promover mais os produtos locais. .
Excelente unidade hoteleira, bem localizada, com decoração muito bem pensada e conseguida. Quartos confortáveis, lençóis e capas de edredões de ótima qualidade. Casas de banho fantásticas, com iluminação adequada. Limpeza dos quartos e dos espaços comuns imaculada. Pequeno almoço com uma ampla oferta para todos os gostos. Funcionários simpáticos, prestáveis e eficientes. Muito boa relação qualidade-preço.
we travelled with family there and staff were helpful. But the insulation between rooms is Soo bad and you will regret staying there if some couple decides to shout all night.
Embora um elevador estava avariado e o vento soprava num dos quartos que reservei pela porta para a varanda, as comodidades estavam boas e gostei do local.
I stayed in a single room at ibis Coimbra Centro and had a pleasant experience overall. I was especially happy that the hotel fulfilled my request for a king bed. The room itself is compact but well laid out, just the right size for a solo traveler.
One issue I did notice was that the room stayed quite warm, even with the temperature dial set to 15°C and the air conditioning on high. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but it’s something to be aware of.
The toilet was spotless, and I really liked the wooden floors and the modern shower area.
I opted for breakfast during my stay and was pleasantly surprised by the variety available. There were enough options to enjoy something different each morning, and I always left the table full and satisfied.
Thank you ibis Coimbra Centro for hosting me!
ผผู้เข้าพักI stayed at this hotel for two nights from August 3 to August 5, 2025. First of all, the hotel’s location is excellent—it’s near the square, making it very convenient to reach all the attractions. My room faced the river, offering a beautiful view of the Rio Mondego. This is an established hotel, and although the furniture is somewhat old, but everything is very clean, which didn’t affect my stay at all. The hotel staff are very warm and hospitable. The breakfast is a standard European-style buffet, providing enough nutrition to fuel a day of exploring. Most notably, I was initially concerned about the WiFi strength, but after recent improvements, it’s even better than what I have at home—upload and download speeds both exceed 300 Mbps, which was a pleasant surprise. To sum it up, I found my room to be great value for money, more memorable and impressive than many four or five-star hotels.

ผผู้เข้าพักWe stayed two nights in apartment 2.2 - one bedroom with a small office room which has a desk and single bed. Location was great, being right off the main pedestrian ***** in the old town area, so very atmospheric and convenient for restaurants. Check-in is at Hotel Oslo, about 4min walk away so you will have to walk with your luggage for a few minutes, including up some stairs. The apartment building also does not have a lift, so you will need to be able to carry your luggage up stairs within the building. I don't think you would be able to call an Uber or taxi to the street in front of the building as it is very narrow so bear this in mind. Some other minor points I noticed about the apartment which you may find helpful:
- It directly faces another building on a narrow street, so the apartment doesn't really get natural sunlight
- There is a washer but no dryer - it took a whole day for our clothes to dry and the rack sat in the living room
- The apartment fittings are starting to feel a bit worn down
