Very well located right off the high street, but high enough and well insulated to be a quiet room. The bed was super comfortable, the room and living space a good size, though the bathroom was tiny. A bonus was the extra toilet by the living area. A very sunny living room and good wifi, helpful when both of us had to spend an afternoon working. The kitchen is equipped but only for occasional coffee making and basic breakfast preparation. There are not enough plates, bowls, cups and mugs or utensils for a longer or cooking stay. There is a dishwasher that felt irrelevant as there were not enough dishes to accumulate and use it. Plus - and that's a positive - although it's an apartment, we were pleasantly surprised that they offer daily room turnaround, so again no need for a dishwasher! Positive of staying in our room on the 3rd floor (also one of the more expensive): Day light and a view + away from traffic noise - it looked like lower rooms had no view or potentially daylight. Negative: no stairs! Be prepared to climb all three flights with your luggage. Considering how much climbing there is to do in Coimbra though, you'll hardly notice. All in all a pleasant stay when visiting Coimbra for a few days.

Sophia Studios is well situated in the center of the city within easy walking distance to all the key attractions including the historical center, the market, and the university. The room was large and bright with a high ceiling and windows that stretched from floor to ceiling. Despite facing the street, the new windows were well sealed and kept out the traffic noises very effectively. It was great to have a fully equipped kitchen that allowed us to make some of our own meals in addition to eating out a some of the many excellent local restaurants. The bed was large and very comfortable. Booking was very easy and the communication and arrival instructions were clear and simple. The staff were every friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. During our stay at Sophia Studios we had the best sleep in two weeks while in Portugal

The entrance way to the property is narrow and the stairs are steep. This is typical of urban properties in Europe. This was not a big deal for us, but for some others with mobility issues this could provide a challenge.

I very much liked this studio apartment. One thing that stands out is the help and genuine concern for their residents expressed by the managers. They provided me with detailed info. about where to do my laundry, transfer from the train station, as well as helpful suggestions about sights and shops to visit. The studio, though on the small side, is comfortable and equipped with quality appliances, fixtures, and accessories, like plates and cutlery. I'd say the location is excellent, within easy walking distance of all the sights I wanted to see and within 0.1 miles of a Pingo Doce supermarket. I would definitely stay here again.

The studio was compact but perfectly designed, felt quite new and clean, with everything you could need. Ricardo was very friendly and helpful, even carrying or big case up the 2 flights of stairs! (Worth noting there is no lift.) You can hear sounds from other studios above, but this wasn't a problem over night. The location was perfect and we could walk to all of the main sights, and the bus and the train stations.

A lift would be the icing on the cake!

Spotless cleaned. Equipped with everything for a comfortable stay. The owners and the staff were very friendly and helpful and reacted immediately to any request.

My studio was on the street side and besides the double windows the noise was not dumped at all, so for people with light sleep it can be a problem. Also, even though extremely clean, I would have preferred less smelly detergents.

This is a renovated apartment building in a busy part of the city. The rooms are very clean and housekeeping does an excellent job. As mentioned, there is no elevator so it was three flights up for me but Ricardo was really kind and helped me with my luggage. I happened to catch him just as he was leaving for the weekend. The apartment was modern and bright and the bathroom was nice with a small shower but excellent water pressure. My biggest caveat is that there is street noise, especially traffic. They told me they are going to work in renovations which will help reduce this further. The street is not picturesque at all but it has a supermarket, pharmacy, laundry and restaurants very close by. It is also only four minutes from a parking lot (Mercado Municipal) and from a big pedestrian street with a lot of shops. Once again, I was grateful to Ricardo for his help.

Great lication, easy check in and check out process, no human interactions at all. The studio looks just like on photos and everything you can possibly need. It was very cosy, clean, and very nice overall.

The street outside is a tad noisy, but if you close the windows tightly, it's quite OK. The 4 coffee capsules had only 1 with caffeine amongst them, but that's also a minor thing.

Very modern and clean room, toilet and kitchen. There's espresso machine with capsule serves nice coffee. There's always people guarding the reception on the ground floor during the day. Very close to old town and surrounded by cafes that serve great pastry and cakes. Oh the door is keyless which is convenient for 2 persons as most old building only gives one key to guests.

Nothing really..

Really great location ! The room was rather small but very cozy ) It has air conditioner, good modern windows and nice view over rooftops. Despite the size of the room - it has fully equipped kitchen with all you may need. Including the dishwasher ! The bed and pillows were quite comfy.

Not much to mention here. Depending on what room you get - it may be noisy from the road. Also the door to the hallway is just near the bed, so it may be noisy from there as well. Toilet paper was the cheapest you can get, so I suggest using a bit better one =)

Beautiful apartment with everything you need for a short or long stay. Very clean and modern. Like any city location the noise may be a concern. We always bring ear plugs and slept well. The location is excellent! Parking at the Mercado was perfect. We always bring g a carry on just in case we cannot comfortably navigate stairs with larger suitcases. We were on the 4th floor so having small carry on to Replenish daily was important. At the Mercado parking lot we learned you can stay as long as needed for a small fee. Ask the attendant at the studio for details about a “lost ticket” when exiting the parking lot.
