Our take
Hotel Ibis Coimbra Centro earns its place through location: it faces the Mondego River, 200 metres from the historic centre. Rooms are simple, air-conditioned and en suite, the buffet breakfast is served daily and the 24-hour bar offers snacks and local wines. A 7.9 rating across more than 5,600 reviews points to dependable basics rather than charm. Travellers who want character or a pool should look elsewhere, but for walking Coimbra's old town, I would book it.
- Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to the historic centre for easy exploration on foot.
- If travelling with a pet, confirm the specific pet policies and any associated fees upon booking.
- Enjoy a drink at the 24-hour bar after a day of sightseeing; it's a convenient spot for a nightcap.

Why guests love itHotel Ibis Coimbra Centro overlooks the Mondego River, 200 metres from Coimbra's historic centre, so families can walk up toward the old university without a car. Rooms are simply furnished with air conditioning and a private bathroom, fine for sleeping after a day out. The daily buffet breakfast makes mornings easy with children, and pets are welcome too. Its 7.9 rating across more than 5,600 reviews describes a basic but well-placed two-star, and I would book it for its location.
