Very central. Cosy and loved all the books. loved the decoration.

We loved being surrounded by books! The breakfast was delicious and the location was perfect.

Loved the location in Obidos, great walled town plus easy for day trips to near by historical sites. Loved the ambiance in the hotel and breakfast was fabulous.

A fun funky place to stay, eclectic and nooky ... staff was very friendly, food was good, loved all the books and places to immerse yourself in reading/relaxing. Very near to castle, easy to walk everywhere, had a nice vibe! Also they are so accommodating with keeping your luggage stored if needed which was very helpful.

The room was spacious and beautiful yet minimalist. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom had a large tub which was very much appreciated. In the morning, we had free breakfast and there was a bit of everything. The spotlight goes to the natural juices and the different kinds of delicious breads. We had gone to visit the Feira medieval de Óbidos and it was a very short walk away from the gates. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we would love to stay again. ((The photos we took were at the end of our visit, the room was pristine when we arrived))

Location was great just outside the walls. Literally across the road. Breakfast was great with a good selection. Rooms nicely designed.

Great experience if you are a book lover. The rooms are very comfortable, there is so many options for places to read around the hotel and the breakfast is amazing. The location is great for exploring Obidos.

The property had great character with fusion between old and new. It is well located just outside the village walls. Check in was quick and efficients and we were shown to our rooms.

the atmosphere, we could have stayed in the hotel and read all day

it’s a cozy hotel, if you like books where will be a place to sop over.
