My wife loved the property. The lobby as you enter from the street is very unique and interesting. It had a nice kitchenette on the main floor. The location is central to the tourist area of Coimbra. Overall it was a nice stay.

10/10 Exceptional

The overnight stay at Pharmacia Guesthouse was a great find. I was very impressed that I cane across this location when I visited Coimbra. Very nicely located in the center of the Main Street. The guesthouse was very safe, clean, spacious and easy access to the city. The room was large enough to relax, Juan was great with details for dinner. Highly recommended! This was our best stay in Portugal.

10/10 Exceptional

The guesthouse was in a great location in the Old Town. It had an interesting lobby with character and the rooms were lovely. They offered a small area for self service of coffee and muffins off the lobby. The owner/manager was very friendly and helpful. Walking score was exceptional. Would highly recommend!

Great location. Very large room. Staff were super helpful with AC problem. You will not regret booking this hotel. If you have mobility issues, you may struggle getting your luggage down the street since its a pedestrian only street.

Michelle, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is on a lively and vibrant pedestrianised street, minutes from shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. Open the balcony doors and you are in the midst of Coimbra However, shut the double-glazed doors and “presto”, all is quiet and restful. It is the best of both worlds.

A Wonderful Stay in Coimbra

The room was very comfortable and clean. The location was great. João was there to greet us at check in and was very helpful throughout our stay. He's a tremendous asset to the hotel. We briefly met the owner when he came one afternoon and we wish him well in his endeavour. I'd definitely stay there again.
John, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was the worst experience in my several visits to Portugal. I arrived to find the hotel locked in the late afternoon. I rang the doorbell several times and no one responded. I called the phone number on the window and a male staff member answered. I told him I was there to check in and he told I could not as I did not have a reservation. If I had I should have access code . I informed him I was not given one I had a confirmation number for the reservation. Again he denied I had a reservation. At this stage I am frustrated. He says he will call me right back. 10 mins later no response I called him 3 times no answer. Text him and all I get back is hi, I text him I need the code to get in and eventually he gives it to me. To add to the situation the bathroom was not cleaned properly previous guest hair was in the shower tray and on bathroom fixtures. Clothes from a previous guest in closet. As for soundproof they might want to remove that from their description I would highly recommended noise canceling EarPods for the internal noise in the hotel. Better yet do yourself a favor find another hotel.

Aidan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Different but not bad

It was a good place to stay for a few days. It’s right in the middle of center city and you can walk to the main sites and restaurants. It’s a historical building that used to be a pharmacy so that’s cool. However I would not stay there longer than a couple days and next time we plan to stay in somewhere that offers in room refrigerator and not historical. There is a tiny common kitchen but it’s not convenient. It’s also set up for you to enter and exit on your own with no front desk person most of the time.

10/10 Exceptional

Thank you/obrigado! for your hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay! We were very tired when arrived. My husband was able to get a good night sleep. He did not sleep at all at the previous hotel. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. When I booked the guesthouse I was doubting that it was really as nice as it looked from the pictures (We’ve been burned in the past) It is!!

Historical and Comfortable

The Pharmacia is an excellent hotel in a nice location to tour Coimbra. All instructions were helpful as I arrived later in the evening. My room was much bigger than I expected and was very comfortable. Juan was very god at helping me with questions and he walked me to the Coimbra B train station bus.

This was a beautifully restored building. Modern rooms with terrific amenities nestled in an elegantly restored apothecary on one of the main pedestrian streets in Coimbra. Would return to this place again in a heartbeat!
