Penedo da Saudade Suites & Hostel  

In Coimbra’s historic district, a short walk from the city center. About 5 minutes on foot to Seminário Maior de Coimbra and roughly 12 minutes to Coimbra University, with Monastery of Celas, Torre de Anto, Casa Museu Bissaya Barreto and Sister Lucia's Memorial all nearby—family-friendly hostel and suites with easy access to the sights.

The property keeps the original building’s character with thoughtful design and a playful university-themed décor. Rooms range from doubles to family suites, most with private bathrooms; 11 air-conditioned rooms feature LED TVs, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Inviting common areas, a terrace and a garden give you spots to read, meet others or simply relax.

Sip evening drinks at the on-site bar or cook in the shared kitchen. There’s a refrigerated common area, free on-site parking, a tour assistance desk and transfers around the city; an airport shuttle is available for a surcharge. Complimentary Wi‑Fi covers the property and the terrace invites slow, sea‑breeze‑free (city) mornings and lazy afternoons in the garden.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property keeps you connected. Rooms include LED TVs and air conditioning for a comfortable work-and-rest setup.

Continental breakfasts are served daily from 8:00–10:00 AM, with some rates noting a complimentary breakfast. A lively bar and the shared kitchen let you fuel up, snack or wind down after exploring Coimbra.
