Pros: Loved that it was close to train station. Short walk into old town, surrounded by plenty of places to eat out. Great it had a kitchen, and balcony.
Cons: I booked a single room, would have been nice to have a mirror in the room. The bed would have to be the hardest I have ever tried to sleep on, hence very little sleep. Noisy outside with construction, and trucks dumping stuff right up till midnight. The bathroom I had the shower base is plastic and had broken, felt unsafe to stand on. The checkin was the fastest ever, I had to go back and ask for a map, but nothing was pointed out to me.

Pros: The room is very clean and well decorated. It had two windows and is very airy.
Cons: I know we have to share bath rooms with other guests. The shared bathrooms and toilets were clean. But they’re like the ones you used when you’re staying in a university dorm. They were six cubicles each in the toilet room and bathroom. I’ve stayed in many bnb which I need to share bathrooms with others. But I just personally didn’t like this kind of shared toilets and bathrooms. It’s my personal preference. FIY

Cons: Unfortunately, this hostel didn’t have a kitchen and the double room with private ensuite didn’t have a hair dryer. Crazy narrow street access (do not recommend self driving), our Uber’s navigation tried to drop us off at a footpath access point but it was pouring down hat day so asked the driver to help drop us off in front, wow were the streets narrow and steep but as a local he navigated easily.

Pros: We loved staying at Adore Portugal guest house and wish we’d spent longer in Coimbra. Maria and her family were so warm and welcoming. Maria spent time with us giving very helpful advice on what to see in our brief visit. The house is beautifully decorated with art and antiques, and everything was very clean. The morning breakfast included with our stay was beyond generous. Our room was actually two bedrooms — one for us, and a separate room with 3 twin beds for our children — perfect for our family of 5.

7.9 Good
Pros: Location was good, breakfast was excellent, bed was comfortable
Cons: the second night was very loud - the other guests were talking loudly in front of our room. No privacy in the room as the wall is not closed (it is half open to a shared bathroom and you can hear everything...). Parking is on the street - we were lucky to find a parking in front of the building
6.7 Good
Pros:
Cons: A lot of stairs to climb and narrow steps. To be fair we should add lift to our filters when booking. No exactly en suite bathroom. Bathroom across the hallway.
4.6 Okay
Pros:
Cons: We arrived to find that there were 2 flights of stairs to climb to our room. Thankfully we were assisted with the luggage. The room was so full of artefacts and memorabilia that our comfort seemed to be secondary. It seemed dusty especially with the hangings over the bed. There were only 2 dormer windows so not much of a view. The room was very dimly lit even with a few adjustments of lighting by us. We also found that the lock on the door was not working properly. In the one wardrobe was an assortment of blankets taking up a lot of the space and there was only one clothes hanger available unless one wanted to hang around 3 or 4 pairs of trousers ! Breakfast on the first morning seemed also to have been forgotten and there was no choice at all. We were very, very disappointed with the host's manner. Overall we were pleased to have only stayed a short while there. We really cannot understand the previous reviews which we previously found on the bookings.com site.

Pros: The room was very nice, the location was good, the breakfast was good, and the staff was helpful.
Cons: We had understood private bathroom, but that wasn’t the case. Under the heading of “helpful hints” rather than criticism, a couple of suggestions: finding the guest house in this city was almost impossible. Having specific driving instructions would have been immensely helpful. A very nice man actually let us follow him in his car to get there. Also, we didn’t know to use the intercom outside the property, so we wasted about an hour of both their and our time. It wasn’t at all clear that the intercom belonged to the guest house. All that said, we would surely recommend them.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: Nice authentic house, clean. Friendly accurate hosting. 20 minutes by foot from town centre, free parking space in the street
Cons:
6.7 Good
Pros: Family atmosphere, stylish rooms, good internet.
Cons: No air-conditioner which is a must when the outside temperature is above 40... Too long check-in, late and long breakfast. We had to wait till it starts although we had the agreed time for it. The breakfast could be pure buffet as we've got the buffet in fact, although it was brought in pieces and over 15 minutes. We would prefer to grab what we need rather than wait under hot summer sun.

Pros: Lovely place. Lovely people. Comfort and good class accomodation.

Then told I don’t have a room and make other arrangements unless I would like to go to a mixed dorm but that also seemed complicated. I could not make another booking using the accommodation app because I needed them to cancel or I would then have to find another accommodation and try to get back a cancellation fee for this place WHY After sometime I was great full that the guy at the front door made a decision to make another room female dorm which by the way was full by the evening HELLO

Pros: Location is great. 3 min walk from train station and is located next to all the touristic areas.
Cons: No lockers in the room or other areas of the hostel to leave valuables. No individual power outlet next to the bed. No individual lights next to bed. This is bad specially if you are in a top bunk bed.

Pros: Great location. We stayed in the private double room. We booked a room each it was so cheap. The room was big, clean and it had air-conditioning. There was a lovely feel to the place. Old world meets function. Double bed was ok and did the job. Not the most comfy. The room was close to the shared bathroom.
Cons: There was no hot water in the only 2 showers left working at all. Its a shared mixed sex bathroom so while your sitting on the toilet there's plenty around applying their make-up for the day. (if you get my drift). The room could so easily have a more comfortable bed bringing up your ratings but it was ok for a hostel i suppose. There is a door leading to the bathroom (2 doors separate entrances) near our room that could do with attention, Basically it would bang shut every time someone used it. A soft close hinge would help. There were dirty towels on the floor and "left behind" clothes hanging on racks on the bathroom wall. I would stay again because of location and it was bearable, but not for more than a night or two. We didn't use any of the communal facilities like the kitchen etc so I've no comments on that area.
7.1 Good
Pros: Lots of showers A rooftop
Cons: Bed bugs Lots of bug bites after leaving here

Pros: Friendly staff and great location.

Pros: The double room with a queen size bed was basic but very nicely decorated with a traditional feel with the tiled wall and dark wood floor. The view of the river was fantastic.

4.2 Okay
Pros: Nothing
Cons: The shared bathroom that are for men and women. This is not clear on the website. Some of the showers were broken. According to us, not a comfortable place for couples.

8.0 Excellent
Pros: Handy location,very helpful and friendly staff,great breakfast.Clean and tidy
Cons: The room wasn't the quietest place we've ever stayed in. Across the road in the main square there where lots of noisy University students that were celebrating something (The start of their studies? )for a couple of nights and then there was a reggae concert in the park across the road for one night as well. Not the fault of the hostel but it happened to us so just request a quiet room.

Pros: Nice breakfast with lots of options, facilities were modern and clean, the staff was friendly. Located in the center of the city.
Cons: I was told I was going to be just 2 people (in a room of 4) but at 2 am two guys walked in very loudly, and did that repeatedly during the night which was very unpleasant. The area is central but quite noisy if you stay on a Friday night.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Location right opposite to a big park (Jardin) with a free walk in cinema at night. Such friendly humble staff. Great breakfast, helpful lady. Nice common living room, well renovated 18th/19th century building it seems.
Cons: Dark scary steps/stairs to shared bathrooms downstairs. Strange bathroom shutters/locks which nearly got stuck from inside. But have seen same locks elsewhere in other hostels in Portugal, so suppose that's only what they have.

Pros: Nice location near Praca de Republica and in neighbourhood of lovely park. Room was sapcious enough for 6 people and I met really nice people there.
