We had a fantastic stay in the Sapentia. We were there for a week and got to know the local area well and built a nice relationship with the staff too. The Hotel is situated in great spot, some of the rooms have great views towards the river. The only issue is parking. The location is on a tiny street adjacent to the University. If you can, don’t have a car. If you do, prepare to have to move to about a bit potentially. The hotel helped us a lot and we managed ok, the car remained, miraculously, unscathed even though it got backed into,(no visible damage, caught on the car camera). This is the only issue during an otherwise wonderful stay at the Hotel.

A lovely property matched by warm, friendly and attentive staff who were always happy to help. The room was very comfortable. I would make a suggestion for the kitchen in having a cloth or sponge to be able to wash dirty plates etc., although any used glasses and other utensils were cleaned each day, we like to clean up after using crockery etc. Maybe some tissues in the bathroom for those sniffing days.

Overall the stay and staff were great. They had a policy to reserve for lunch or dinner ahead of time and we arrived around 2pm and most places were closed at that time so they said we could have lunch there. One lady who was serving us was a bit rude since we didn’t make a reservation which was ridiculous because there was no one else eating at the time. Otherwise, the rest of the staff were great and very personable.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel was nicely and recently updated and refurbished (it seemed). It was in a great location right next to the university and a nice 10 minute walk to the central square by the river. I'd definitely stay here again.

Unfortunately we’ve had a terrible experience with this hotel. The lack of understanding and communication is extremely disappointing. We were unfortunately in Portugal during the forest fires in September. On the day that we were travelling from Porto to Coimbra and planning on staying at Sapienta all highways were shut down. We were stopped by local authorities and turned around. We looked at every possible way to get there and asked police who advised it was impossible. I contacted the hotel to advise them and cancel explaining the situation and how it was impossible to make it there. The lady I spoke with advised that she would speak with management and would let me know. I had also advised them as soon as we found out to ensure that they had the opportunity to rebook the room. The following day we were advised that they would only offer us a credit for the one night stay good until September 2025. We feel this was an empty offer given they knew we are from Canada and would surely not travel back to Portugal for a one night stay. We attempted to resolve this with them through our Visa however we were advised by visa that the hotel had no intention in trying to resolve this other than their offer of the one night credit knowing it would not be used. I even tried to reason with them with a half refund of the $440 given the fact that this was out of control which they denied. Keep in mind if booking this hotel that they are not reasonable should any issues arise.
