Sleeping beside the Sé Velha

The Serenata Hostel is on Largo da Sé Velha, the square of the Romanesque cathedral, halfway between the Baixa and the university: the place where the students' serenade is sung at night. It has 22 rooms, with no lift.

The rooms

There is a bit of everything: dormitories of six, eight or ten bunks, mixed or female; bunks in a double room, with private or shared bathroom; doubles with shared or private bathroom, from 13 to 20 m²; suites with private bathroom and a bunk for three; and a room for four with single beds. All have air conditioning and heating; there is a terrace, laundry, safe, a breakfast option, free wifi and 24-hour reception.

Getting there

From Coimbra A station or the Baixa, walk up the Quebra-Costas to the Sé Velha: it is slope and steps, so a small suitcase is better. By car, leave the car in a car park in the Baixa: the Alta has narrow streets.
