Coimbra Vintage Lofts

The staff at the Oslo hotel which handles the check in and checkout process are super friendly and helpful. They allowed us to go up to their Terrace for the best view of historic center. We had a problem with room key code but they sent staff to fix it for us. The location is great and close to all major sites. The couch in living area is dated. Only stayed 1 night so we didn’t use the kitchenette which appears to be nicely equipped. The only downside is we had luggage so climbing the flight of stairs was tough. On departure, the cleaning staff offered to help carry luggage down the flight of stairs. They allowed us to keep luggage at hotel after checkout until we were ready to leave.

“Convenient if coming by train”

This place is well located for Coimbra train station, especially if you have heavy luggage and don’t fancy an uphill walk. There are a few stairs to negotiate inside the building but we were shown up to our little loft by a staff member from the Oslo Hotel (who manage this place). The Oslo Hotel st… more

This place is well located for Coimbra train station, especially if you have heavy luggage and don’t fancy an uphill walk. There are a few stairs to negotiate inside the building but we were shown up to our little loft by a staff member from the Oslo Hotel (who manage this place). The Oslo Hotel staff (where you pick up the key)were excellent and suggested we visit the roof of the Oslo Hotel with it’s fabulous city views to wait for the room to be ready. When my husband left his jacket and keys in the room they rang us straight away and organised for the jacket to be posted back to us and it arrived two days later! The room itself was small with a hidden mini kitchen and bathroom below the mezzanine bedroom - an imaginative use of space. No eye level windows or a view. TV had multiple channels and wifi was v good. A better settee would have increased comfort levels.

“Huge disappointment. Cannot recommend”

Hard to find initially. When finding it down an alleyway, it turned out we should have received an email with front door codes and room Entry codes. Did not happen. Stood Out in sun trying to call our provider and then Amer express whom we had paid through. Luckily a guest came out on his way out… more

Hard to find initially. When finding it down an alleyway, it turned out we should have received an email with front door codes and room Entry codes. Did not happen. Stood Out in sun trying to call our provider and then Amer express whom we had paid through. Luckily a guest came out on his way outside and advised us we had to go across the street to Hotel Oslo for entry codes. We had not received any notification of this. Staff at Hotel Oslo reception were very nice and apologetic. Also very informative and suggested we came back there after settling in to get the low down on everything. After getting in. Disappointed. I know the name is Vintage Lofts. But…. It was clean. Very basic. We would not return here or recommend this place. Kitchen had MFD wood pretending to be cabinet doors. I could go on.

“Not for those with knee problems”

Pros were location, access to the lovely rooftop bar at sister property Hotel Oslo, cool design vibe, good water pressure in shower. Cons: hard to find, not accessible by car, no lift and lots of stairs. The bed was OK but the drafty window next to it made our necks sore by morning. Maybe other roo… more

Pros were location, access to the lovely rooftop bar at sister property Hotel Oslo, cool design vibe, good water pressure in shower. Cons: hard to find, not accessible by car, no lift and lots of stairs. The bed was OK but the drafty window next to it made our necks sore by morning. Maybe other rooms are better, we had room 5. Space a bit cramped with small kitchen and sitting area.
