Finde Hotels in Condeixa-a-Nova

I visited Portugal on a group tour that included stays at three pousadas. A big takeaway from my experience is that pousadas are remarkably variable. Pousada Mosteiro de Guimaraes was fantastic, and Pousada Castelo Palmela was okay but with some flaws. However, this one, Conimbriga Hotel Do Paço, was abysmal. I recommend you choose your pousada carefully; some are great, but some, such as this one, are bad beyond belief. The hotel itself is nothing special, and a massive disappointment after the delight of the first pousada I visited, Pousada Mosteiro de Guimaraes. This pousada claims to be originally a ‘manor house’, but it just looks like a tatty old house that’s had tacky modern hotel features crudely appended. Tattiness and dirtiness were everywhere. My room was the type that motivates me to avoid touching anything I don’t need to; surfaces were not clean. However, the bed linen was okay, as was the bed. Lots of insects were attracted by the needlessly bright modern garden lights, and doors and windows were left open so they could get inside. Even my hotel key was disgusting: the tag attached to it had an old sticky label which was partly worn away, and its glue residue was holding the accumulated dirt and pocket fluff of innumerable previous guests. Presumably, no one at the hotel could be bothered to clean it. It rather sums up the hotel. Dinner was awful. The dining room’s maître d' was badly dressed in a shabby polo shirt and casual trousers; he looked like it was his job to clean toilets, not greet diners. I was brought soup, and had to request a spoon with which to eat it. Service for me was slow, but I got luckier than my fellow diners – some were waiting two hours for food. I was fortunate enough to have other dining arrangements for my second night in this hotel; some of my fellow diners who did not returned to the hotel with food from grocery stores rather than endure the same dining experience for a second time. Breakfast was also awful. The floor of the breakfast room was wet and slippery, I had to request that it be dried. I also had to request that lights were turned on in the breakfast room, which was dark. Scrambled eggs were strangely lumpy. The toaster was of an impenetrable design. Coffee dispensers ran out of coffee half an hour after breakfast started.

Silvia was our receptionist and go-to person. She was truly AMAZING! She is a delightful young lady who was our contact person, greeted us, carried our luggage ( the stairs were a bit difficult for me), called taxis for us, brought extra blankets, prepared breakfast, recommended restaurants and sites in Ciombra…there was nothing she wasn’t available to do. She was always smiling and friendly. While the property is on a large piece of land and is farm like it is NOT in the countryside. It is in a suburban area 10-15 minutes from Coimbra. We were specifically attracted to being in the countryside so this was a disappointment. Even with Apple CarPlay, our gps system, we missed the street several times. The name of the street is not well marked. The property is behind a lovely gate and parking is readily available. This was a plus. Our room was very large ( bedroom, separate living room, bathroom, entry space)and had lovely views overlooking the grounds, the pool and distant mountains. We booked on *********** “ Family Room with Balcony” 441 sq/ft. and stayed Sept 29-Oct.1. The room was stylish and very clean with big windows overlooking the grounds. However there were many flaws. There were no glasses for water in the room, no water provided, no conditioner in the shower, no robes or slippers, only 2 very flat pillows, one set of towels. We were offered use of the communal kitchen but this was not inviting. We were shown the refrigerator and told there was a different shelf designated for each room. Too much like a college dorm or work fridge. We could use the kitchen as we wished but did not avail ourselves. Silvia did immediately bring us an extra duvet when we found the room too cold. She did offer to turn the radiators on but we were afraid we would find it too hot.There was no thermostat for us to control. There were enough outlets for adapters and charging cables. We did not expect USB ports as is common in Portugal.wi-fi was good. The worst was the shower. It’s a beautiful walk in with a rain shower but on the first morning my husband had cold water. I had scalding hot then tepid then cold. And yes…we do know how to turn on and adjust the water. On the second morning we both had COLD showers. The hair dryer was terrible…barely dried my short hair. The room was not serviced. We came back after a long day exploring Coimbra to find an unmade bed and wet towels. So we made the bed and used wet towels… The breakfast, again Silvia was the star, was in a small dark room with a buffet selection on a narrow sideboard. There were decent choices…cheeses, bread and good coffee and scrambled eggs. One table was so close to the sideboard we couldn’t access those foods without being rude. We did take taxis into Coimbra . We thankfully had a hotel address card to show drivers for our return trip. Even with that, both drivers had a difficult time finding the property. People have their own travel styles. This property has prove

Ich dachte, Sie wären in der Mitte gut, Sie ist ein bisschen weiter entfernt, aber es geht gut billig aus Uber oder Bolt. Das Mittagessen dort ist sehr gut. Eine gemütliche Paarzimmer mit Bad, Luft und TV. Es war es wert.

Sehr schönes Hotel, es ist ein Herrenhaus. Der kleine Garten des Hotels ist nicht groß, aber sehr empfindlich. Er liegt nicht in der Innenstadt. Ich werde nach dem Fluss zur Universität gehen. Coimbra ist nicht groß.

On a busy street that feeds one of the main bridges over the Modego River, the hotel is at first intimidating to locate & park at, and unloading luggage. Once inside, the rooms are standard EU class but it is the staff that made the difference for us. Isabel in particular was extremely friendly and helpful with advice- free parking at several spots, free shuttle van, possibly the nicest laundromat in the world (!), and restaurant options. She and the staff were tremendous, so I would recommend a stay there on tour of Portugal. Cheers.

Die Zimmerausstattung ist sehr sauber, man sieht, dass die Details gut untersucht wurden. Es ist nett, das Bad in einem Schrank zu verstecken. Bequeme Lage zwei Schritte vom Zentrum entfernt; Sie können es durch die Brücke erreichen. Für diejenigen, die in den Wagen kommen, gibt es einige Plätze direkt vor der Unterkunft, oder ein großer Parkplatz direkt hinter dem Ecke (beider bezahlt). Wenn auf der einen Seite der Selbstbedienung zu bequem erscheinen kann, auf der anderen Seite ist es sehr unpersönlich. Da ich nie jemanden von der Struktur gesehen habe, musste ich für jede Kommunikation Ihre Telefon- oder E-Mail-Adresse verwenden. Die Sauberkeit im Bad ist verbessert, obwohl es schön ist, den Gästen in einer schönen Flasche Likör zur Verfügung zu stellen, wäre es aus hygienischen Gründen besser, wenn dies in einem noch versiegelten Behälter gehalten würde. Preis-Qualitäts-Verhältnis sehr günstig.

Ich liebe diese kleine Unterkunft und dachte, es sei nur für einen kurzen Aufenthalt in Coimbra richtig. Wir kamen am Nachmittag an und der Besitzer wartete auf uns mit unserem Schlüssel, und es war so einfach, direkt aus zu kommen und zu erkunden, da wir gerade von der Brücke zur alten Stadt waren. Am nächsten Tag gingen wir zur Universität und konnten sogar einen Waschmaschine finden, der so nah genug ist, um zu gehen und unsere Kleidung zu waschen. Die einzigen Gründe, die ich es anstelle von 5-star bewerten, sind, dass das Bett sehr hart und unkomfortabel war, und der Klimaanlage nicht sehr gut funktionierte. Das Wetter war ziemlich warm, und wir konnten nur nicht unser Zimmer zu fühlen, dass cool. Ich würde noch einmal hier bleiben, weil die Lage und die anderen positiven überwiegen diese beiden Dinge.

Eigentlich versuche ich in den südlichen Ländern Zwei-Sterne-Hotels zu vermeiden, aber da ich kurzfristig planen musste, und eine zentrale Lage mit Parkplatz benötigte, wählte ich in Coimbra das Hotel Ibis. Ich habe diese Wahl nicht eine Sekunde bereut, denn das Hotel liegt ideal um die gesamte Stadt mit allen Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß zu erreichen, und selbst die Bushaltestelle liegt nahezu vor dem Hotel. Das sehr ruhige und lärmisolierte Zimmer war keine Überraschung und entsprach den Drei-Sterne-Hotels der Kette, die alle ohne jedes Extra sind. Das Zimmer bot mir einen Blick über den Stadtpark und den Fluss Mondego mit seinem Springbrunnen. WIFI funktionierte problemlos und das gesamte Personal war extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wenn ich Sterne vergeben dürfte, so hätte dieses Hotel, auch ohne Pool und Dachterrasse, drei Sterne. Das Frühstück entsprach jenem einer Vier-Sterne-Hotels, muss jedoch zusätzlich bezahlt werden, wie auch die Tiefgarage des Hotels. Große Fahrzeuge wie SUV dürften jedoch etwas Probleme haben unbeschädigt in die Garage zu kommen. Parkplätze an der Straße vor dem Hotel kann man vergessen, aber es gibt einen öffentlichen Parkplatz in der Nähe, wie auch Parkplätze in Seitenstraßen. Ein sehr gutes Hotel bei Urlaubsreisen und Geschäftsreisen, auch wenn man auf manche Bequemlichkeit wie Haarbalsam, Hautcreme und Kaffeekocher verzichten muss. Schließlich gibt es im Ibis eine gute Bar, die auch ausgezeichneten Espresso bieten kann, nicht nur portugiesische Weine und, leider, spanisches Bier.
