The Literary Man Obidos Hotel

It is a fascinating hotel. Friendly staff, superb restaurant and absolutely out of the ordinary interior design. We will return.

Disappointed! Photos on website are deceiving. Property is a beautiful building that is run down, old carpets, painted bathroom floor is peeling, dirty. Found an old ticket dated 1-2 September under the bed and it is 31 December! The bathroom “door” is a flimsy curtain. Mattress was uncomfortable. The miniature “safe” is from the previous century and not bolted to the wall, so any criminal can carry it out of the room. The fridge is also a miniature for only 3 cans. Parking is a problem as you need to find street parking somewhere! Breakfast! Well the fruit was old and not fit for human consumption, pineapple was discoloured and apples soft and old. Not a great breakfast. As a VIP gold member we did not get our free bottle of wine and upon check out we queried it. Only the did they give us the wine bottle. Not recommended!

We love the concept, but it just isn’t a great stay in reality. The rooms are so musty smelling and moist, there were stains on our sheets, the Wi-Fi only worked in the lobby, and there was no plug so we couldn’t get enjoy the bathtub. The food was great and the idea is lovely, but I was very uncomfortable staying here because of how wet it smelled and felt in our room.

I absolutely loved this hotel. Was my favorite hotel on a 3 month European tour. Obedias was a recommendation from friends I met along the way and it did not disappoint

Was a former convent so very interesting. Filled with books. Rooms were very interesting. Simple but fit into the environment. The breakfast was delicious and the restaurant was beautiful. Highly recommend this hotel.

Easy to arrive, just outside the medieval wall and next to a side entry to the city. Hotel in a very good condition for a two century building! Nice room and cool bath. A unique experience in Obidos.

Amazing!! Loved this place full of books on every shelf in all the rooms. Amazing chef and food on site!!! Excellent staff. Convenient to walking streets and the wall around the city.

Parking is very hard in that area and hotel doesn’t have parking space . No elevators or staff to help with luggage, our room was 3rd floor and we had to climb 44 stairs to carry our luggage up and our check out down . Location is excellent as sightseeing. Staff were nice . Breakfast was okay to good , and free . Food in Restaurant for dinner was excellent, we had to pay for that.

On the ******* app it is mentioned that there is a parking available and it is not the case there is no parking at this hotel.
