Best Hotels in Lousa

Lousa has a few streets of very charming historic houses, the rest is social housing. Octant in an old palace is great, especially the attentive staff at the front desk and bike room who go the extra mile to help and the wonderful sitting rooms. The bikes we rented were fit for purpose but the hills are very challenging and need a good level of cycle or walking fitness. Electric bikes are available too. The schist (slate) villages are breathtaking. Breakfast is excellent, pool and gardens amazing.... There are some downsides: the restaurant (opens 730pm) is overpriced and modest in its execution but the town offers no competition so OK = best in town. Some rooms, including ours, are in an awful modern block extension with no character (while an historic house 10 metres away lies dilapidated) with no balcony and black mould in the bathroom, bubbling paint in the corridors suggesting the builders didn't install a damp course. The hotel should buy and restore this adjacent house. My room was serviced very late in the day (after 6pm). Despite encouraging walking and cycling there is no where to launder or dry clothes. There is a coffee maker in the room but only 3 capsules, and quality Kusmi tea.

The hotel has a strong sense of design and VI does a good job. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the city centre. The space of room is large and the bed is comfortable. Although there are not many kinds of food in breakfast, they are good quality and there is freshly squeezed orange juice.

This little hotel is located just west of the river and is just a short walk away from the city. The price is basic and so is the room, bed, desk, TV, AC, shower. There's no facilities for coffee or tea but the hotel is surrounded by cafés and restaurants so it's not a great problem. The breakfast is excellent, it's unusual to find a restaurant that can cook scrambled eggs without turning them into rubber but these were delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful and speak good English, the place is scrupulously clean and there's free, undercover parking three minutes away. The test is would we go back? We will indeed.

Beautiful historic hotel, comfy rooms, clean, quiet, fast hot water, loved the elevator, perfect location, nice breakfast, delicious coffee. The highlight was how helpful Louisa was with our confusing issue with the trains going on strike. She immediately researched our journey and found us solutions. I was amazing and will be forever grateful! From the moment I explained our predicament she went above and beyond to help us. The hotel alone was fabulous but Louisa is the diamond in this palace!

Nice, big hotel with great views over Coimbra. This hotel is situated on a hill a little out of town. Our room was medium size with a K Size bed and a good sized bathroom. We stayed at this hotel as part of our tour with a group. Bathroom had a shower over the bath. No tea/coffee making facilities. Safe in the room. At night we could hear a lot of noise coming from music down below the hotel and other noisy guests in the passage ways. We had dinner at the hotel but found there were not enough staff to cater for the group ordering drinks. We were also unable to go to the bar to get a drink as it was not staffed.

Very good hotel, is a manor hotel, the hotel's small garden is not big, but it is very exquisite, not in the downtown area, after going through the river, going to the university, Coimbra is not big, the spots are concentrated, recommended

This is a nice, clean, modern hotel but there are pros and cons as follows :- Pros - Clean, well appointed rooms which we found to be quiet Very nice bar/lounge with TV Barman switched the channel so we could watch an English soccer game (although he did keep disappearing for long periods - we don’t know whether he had another job or a girlfriend somewhere else in the hotel) Pool area is very pleasant Breakfast included and it was an excellent buffet Cons - Not a major problem for us but it is a bit of a walk (at least 10 mins) into ‘town’. This could be a problem for those who are not so mobile Big tour groups are accommodated, so it was a good job that we were at breakfast right on opening time at 7am. About 30 mins later the place was swamped by a very large party Unfortunately, not every breakfast dish was ready at 7am so we did miss out on a few items. This is bad food and beverage management Since it was raining and there is nowhere else to eat close by, we had dinner in the restaurant. We thought that €25was expensive for the buffet so we ate à la carte. My rice was very dry as was my friend’s pork. Not impressed at all. Just hope you don’t want to check in or out when a tour bus arrives or is about to depart. I would have given 3 and a half stars but 3 is too low so we’ll go with 4 as the staff were all very friendly.
