The Tivoli Coimbra claims four-star status but that seems a bit optimistic to me. However, even if considered as a three-star hotel, it offers good value, with double rooms available for €76.00 including breakfast if you know the right questions to ask (hint; say that you are arriving in Coimbra by train).
The hotel is part of a rather ugly concrete development that stands on a busy street corner on the northern edge of the town centre. The area is busy and safe, but lacks any charm whatsoever.
Think of this as a four-star hotel and you will be disappointed. However, judged as a three-star hotel it does most things reasonably well. One area of concern is the ventilation of public areas, as one smoker can quickly make a large area quite unpleasant.
