Travellers describe Penedo da Saudade Suites & Hostel as a charming, historic hilltop stay near Coimbra’s university, praised for sweeping city views, very friendly and helpful staff, consistently clean rooms, and a tasty breakfast served on a rooftop terrace.
The location is walkable to key sights and gardens, but it sits up a steep hill, so some guests used taxis or rideshares back. Rooms range from compact to spacious suites, with tasteful decor; free on street parking is common, but there is no elevator and several stairways. Expect a cozy base with warm service and a relaxed B&B feel.

Really very nice. Just outside the centre and old quarter but easy enough to walk. Parking isn’t private. It’s in the road but easy enough and close enough. I would say a very safe area. Breakfast was on the roof terrace (or inside). Very nice. Decent enough selection. Continental style. Very nicely presented. Room was fairly small but totally sufficient. Bed too hard for me but ok for my husband. We are all different. Very good pillows and linen. Very clean. We walked to a good restaurant. Papa. Quiet at night time.

Exceptionally kind and helpfull hosts. Breakfast with not very many options, but all the basics covered and featuring excellent fresh bread and expresso, served on a roof-top terrace with amazing view. Bathroom newly remodeled, super clean and modern. Very safe residential neigborhood with free street parking. Minuses include quite narrow bed (twin) and relatively small room. Also, be aware that there is no elevator and there are already quite a few steep steps to climb before the main entrance.

Recently renovated, tastefully decorated & charming small inn converted from a historic merchant's house, about 15 minutes walk (uphill) from the University historic district. Free parking, fabulous breakfast is included, served on the top floor with a covered patio offering stunning views of the city & beyond. Staff was super-helpful, and very kind. An excellent value--we loved staying there. One downside: the building is not accessible if you are unable to climb stairs, or have mobility issues. (One flight up to get into the building, two more flights up to the breakfast room from there, and there is no lift.) Also, we were surprised to learn that the hotel management does not support recycling, though it's mandatory in Coimbra. The hotel does not provide collection bins & so they just throw out all clean bottles, cans & paper. Other than that, it was great!

The property is in a great location for walking to the University. It was in a cool old house. We enjoyed the fun, "University" vibe of the decor. The staff was great. Emma was a particular delight--very helpful and full of useful information & recommendations. The breakfast buffet was great with many options. It was served on the top floor with nice views and an outdoor patio for nice weather days. The one thing that we would change would be the numerous, plug-in air freshener/frangrances in our room. There were at least 5, and the smell was overwhelming upon arrival. We just gathered them up and put them on a table outside our room and replaced them when we checked out.

This property is in a nice neighborhood up on the top of the hill near the university. The views are very nice and the suites are very large and comfortable. Parking is on the street and is safe overnight. A breakfast is supplied and is located on the top floor with inside and outside seating from which to take in the views. The staff are very helpful and informative. We left our car parked on the street and walked all over, occasionally taking an Uber back up the hill. I would highly recommend the suites in this property.

The Penedo da Saudade was a terrific base for Coimbta. The staff were very helpful. the breakfast was the best we have had with options from cheese and meat to pastries and yogurt with muesli. This was an easy base to explore the university and the gardens. There is good bus access. Well except for during the commencement celebration! Thankfully the staff made us aware of that and we spent the day elsewhere

This was an easy base to explore the university and the gardens. There is good bus access. Well except for during the commencement celebration! Thankfully the staff made us aware of that and we spent the day elsewhere

Loved the rooftop terrace, room was small but we had a room with a couch right outside our door and lots of room on the rooftop overlooking the city, highly recommend. Staff was great and very helpful.

Hilltop setting near the University with sweeping city views; generally walkable to key sights and gardens. It is outside the center and uphill, so some guests used taxis or rideshares.

Really very nice. Just outside the centre and old quarter but easy enough to walk. Parking isn’t private. It’s in the road but easy enough and close enough. I would say a very safe area. Breakfast was on the roof terrace (or inside). Very nice. Decent enough selection. Continental style. Very nicely presented. Room was fairly small but totally sufficient. Bed too hard for me but ok for my husband. We are all different. Very good pillows and linen. Very clean. We walked to a good restaurant. Papa. Quiet at night time.

The property is in a great location for walking to the University. It was in a cool old house. We enjoyed the fun, "University" vibe of the decor. The staff was great. Emma was a particular delight--very helpful and full of useful information & recommendations. The breakfast buffet was great with many options. It was served on the top floor with nice views and an outdoor patio for nice weather days. The one thing that we would change would be the numerous, plug-in air freshener/frangrances in our room. There were at least 5, and the smell was overwhelming upon arrival. We just gathered them up and put them on a table outside our room and replaced them when we checked out.

This property is in a nice neighborhood up on the top of the hill near the university. The views are very nice and the suites are very large and comfortable. Parking is on the street and is safe overnight. A breakfast is supplied and is located on the top floor with inside and outside seating from which to take in the views. The staff are very helpful and informative. We left our car parked on the street and walked all over, occasionally taking an Uber back up the hill. I would highly recommend the suites in this property.

Amazing small scale hotel with excellent service and perfect location to enable walking to all Coimbra has to offer (and that’s a lot). Note: the hotel has historical significance.

The property is located in a hill, so you get a great view of the city. It is a little off the city center, so you need to take a cab or Uber to get there.

Exceptionally kind and helpfull hosts. Breakfast with not very many options, but all the basics covered and featuring excellent fresh bread and expresso, served on a roof-top terrace with amazing view. Bathroom newly remodeled, super clean and modern. Very safe residential neigborhood with free street parking. Minuses include quite narrow bed (twin) and relatively small room. Also, be aware that there is no elevator and there are already quite a few steep steps to climb before the main entrance.

Recently renovated, tastefully decorated & charming small inn converted from a historic merchant's house, about 15 minutes walk (uphill) from the University historic district. Free parking, fabulous breakfast is included, served on the top floor with a covered patio offering stunning views of the city & beyond. Staff was super-helpful, and very kind. An excellent value--we loved staying there. One downside: the building is not accessible if you are unable to climb stairs, or have mobility issues. (One flight up to get into the building, two more flights up to the breakfast room from there, and there is no lift.) Also, we were surprised to learn that the hotel management does not support recycling, though it's mandatory in Coimbra. The hotel does not provide collection bins & so they just throw out all clean bottles, cans & paper. Other than that, it was great!

Andre was very helpful with bags and reception were helpful with where to park. They also offered the names of the best private hospitals as my husband was unwell at the time. Whilst there is no fridge in the room there was a guest fridge up in the breakfast room. Breakfast was adequate with a range of breads, cereals, pastries and fruits. Overall a pleasant stay

The breakfast was not only fresh, magnificent and delicious, but the view from the terrace is amazing. Very generous. It felt like we were lodging in someone's comfortable home, located in a residential neighborhood but close to the university, shops, etc. Our hosts were invisible most of the time (jn a GOOD way) but always available as we needed them. Coimbra is a lovely, historic destination and this hotel/hostel was the perfect location from which to see and access all of the local delights. Would rebook again and recommend to others.
