"The staff placed us in rooms facing the botanical gardens, not the street, so that the music from the party was not very loud."

“Ibis Coimbra Centro places you within easy reach of Coimbra's attractions and boasts underground parking, a definite plus in this area. The staff's friendliness stands out, and while rooms are basic, they're clean and well-equipped for a short stay; however, consider potential noise if visiting when air conditioning is off. For a budget-conscious visit focused on location, it's a worthwhile choice.”

Feedback about Hotel Ibis Coimbra Centro from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ibis Coimbra Centro is appreciated for its prime location, directly opposite a beautiful riverfront park and within a short walk to the town center's dining and attractions; some guests find the underground car park access a little tight and steep, though it's available at €10 per night. Guests often highlight the comfortable beds, well-functioning air conditioning, and the good breakfast buffet at an attractive price of 9 euros. Many find the rooms spacious and note the walk-in shower is fabulous, though a few guests have mentioned the lack of a refrigerator as a minor drawback.

great locationsmall roomfixed temperature

the location was great near the river. it was easy to access many attractions.

The room was too small. there was no bin inside the room, quite inconvenient. also, the air conditioning wasn't working properly. They said it was set to a fixed temperature, so i couldn't adjust it to cool the room enough.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating! I needed bus information to my next stop and a staff member printed schedules for me. They even translated details so i could catch the right bus. The location rocks too. It's close to everything i wanted to see.

I missed having water in the room. It would be nice to have that available, even if i had to pay for it.

The hotel had a great location, it was very safe. The park across the street was nice, and a Burger King with gluten-free buns was nearby. The breakfast buffet was good, and the room was clean. I was allowed to check in early.

The shower floor was VERY slippery and did not have a mat. There were no outlets near the bed to charge my phone. The room also lacked a coffee maker.
