Minimalist property that still manages to be relaxing and comfortable with all needed amenities. I loved the stay here and would book a lodge like this in any city I am going to for solo travel. The staff was fantastic as well. Great location

Very friendly staff. If you tend to feel claustrophobic, might not be the best option of accommodation since there is no windows by design.

We had an amazing trip to Coimbra. Beauftiful location in front of small park and tiver for exploring Coimbra. We were lucky and got a free parking lot in front of the hotel. Good breaktfast. Nice service. The room is very small, just for sleeping but most of the time you will enjoy the beautiful places in the city.

Small compact room, was perfect for my one night stay.
Good location, walkable to nearby attractions, Museum/Restaurants/ Mondengo River/University
Not sure if a tall person would be comfortable staying here. I'm only 5'1"

The rooms do the job, when you’re in the room you want to sleep and have a good rest. When you wake up, you want to get the heck out of there asap. So great for a fantastic, restful night!

Just a box
The rooms are literally boxes built inside an old parking garage--so no window. Restaurant and bar on the top floor with views of river and park. But quite, dark and cool for sleeping. a/c and private baths.

Rooms were quiet.
Hotel had a unique design, the ramps leading to the floors and rooms are eye-catching. I like the concept. Great for a short stay.
Really nice bar and restaurant area.

The Box is a fantastic concept. Comfy!!!!
I love this concept!!!! I actually LOVE not having a window as it is he quietest stay in a big city that I’ve ever had. It’s VERY cozy with the wooden walls and ceiling. And super comfy bed. The lighting is awesome too. And a cold beer at check in was much appreciate after a long walk on the Camino today! I’m a little fascinated by this concept and curious about how it is sustainable as a business model because in a large city square footage is expensive and there is a lot of square footage in this building that is just air that encapsulates the boxes. I hope it works!

I thought it was very practical and convenient. It was the most quietest hotel I ever stayed in my life time. The only downside was no windows, but I got used it fast!

Do NOT stay there if you are easily claustrophobic
Worst room I have ever stayed in. Ceiling hight is 6” or about 1.8meter. No window. Extremely small. Bad lighting. Absolutely claustrophobic! Couldn’t sleep there. Checked out at 10pm trying to find another place. Hotel didn’t care or help
