Pensão Santa Cruz – Where History Sleeps
Welcome to Pensão Santa Cruz, a little piece of Coimbra’s history, right in the heart of the old city. Just across from the beautiful Monastery of Santa Cruz, some of our rooms even offer private balconies with views of this iconic landmark.
We are a humble, family-run guesthouse with an old soul. Our building has many stories to tell — it’s not new, not luxurious, but it is full of character and charm. Our rooms are simply decorated, with classic wooden furniture, free Wi-Fi, and cable TV. Some have private bathrooms; others share — just like in the old days.
If you’re looking for a fancy hotel with marble floors and modern lifts, we may not be the right place. But if you love authentic experiences, budget-friendly stays, and waking up where history lives, you’ll feel right at home with us.
Things to know:

Quiet Hours: Please help us keep the peace between 10 PM and 8 AM.
No Smoking: All rooms are smoke-free and have smoke detectors.

Important Note: Our building is old and has no elevator. If you’re elderly, have mobility challenges, are traveling with children, or carrying heavy luggage, please consider whether we’re the right fit for you.
Just a short walk away, you'll find cafés, local restaurants, and even live Fado music echoing through the streets.
At Pensão Santa Cruz, we may not offer luxury, but we offer heart, honesty, and a stay full of Coimbra’s soul. We hope you’ll be part of our story.
