The Literary Man Obidos Hotel
Wat gasten zeggen
Very unique and cool hotel perfectly located in Obidos. We enjoyed the breakfast selection, especially the eggs made to order. The hotel room was spacious and comfortable, and they gave us an unexpected upgrade and surprise treats waiting in our room as we indicated it was our honeymoon. Pleasantly surprised that we were able to park right outside since it was a weekday not in busy season, but they were helpful in sending parking instructions nearby in advance. Very helpful staff and very welcoming.

Every single thing was fantastic. We had a blast. The staff was incredibly kind, patient and considerate. I made a mistake with the date of my booking, and they found a way to honor it, with no complaints or irritation. I sent photos of the place to my friends and they said it's like someone built this hotel specifically for me. It was a dream. I was dizzy with adoration for all the books, the brunch breakfast with fresh juices, coffees, pastries and made to order items was fabulous and would've been $50-$75 in the states.

This place is a real gem. It's just outside the city walls, and the location is perfect. It's such a small central town that everything is in quick, easy walking distance. My room was huge, and a perfect mix of historic old building, and modern touches, features, and bathroom.

The hotel itself - the books alone is already worth a visit. The room I had was big enough for me and had a good sleep. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had dinner in the restaurant and enjoyed it very much. There are not a lot of supermarkets in the area and as someone who likes to have some tea or other beverage at night it was a bit of a down side but the hotel was kind enough to let me order from the restaurant so I had my cup of tea at night. I wish I had more time to enjoy the books. maybe next time...

This hotel was incredible. It had thousands of books all over the hotel and you could also purchase books to take with you. We had the standard room and it was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious. We also had a balcony with a view to the garden. The breakfast was absolutely delicious - they provided a variety of Portuguese delicacies as well as other breakfast items, such as eggs and fruit. The hotel was right outside of the walls of Óbidos so you were able to drive to the hotel and park on the street. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

The decor in the hotel is books everywhere, it certainly lives up the name literary hotel. It is a very relaxing place with very friendly staff. As a gluten free person I was very looked after, the chef cooked from scratch my meal to ensure there was no cross contamination when we eat in the restaurant. And I was presented home made breads and treats for breakfast.

This was such an idyllic place to stay!! We stayed 3 nights, and did a day trip to Nazaré (incredible beaches!). The staff were very friendly and helpful - buses, what to see and do etc - and the food at the restaurant was also lovely! Breakfast each morning was an amazing spread: a feast fit for a king!! The room was cozy, very comfortable bed, didn’t even need the A/C as the concrete walls kept it nice and cool. Would love to stay here again given the chance!

The hotel is housed in an old monastery. It is stuffed with books, which is fantastic for those who love reading and exploring bookshops and libraries. It was perfect for us! The room was spacious, a lovely bathroom with a bath. Very comfortable bed. Powerful AC, which is a must in Portugal in summer. Super close to the city walls, but very quiet at night. Breakfast was lovely. We dined in the restaurant once, and it was superb! Very nice and helpful staff!
