Staff were friendly and the breakfast was amazing!

I loved that feeling of being transported to an old library of the past... Nothing compares to the smell and comfort physical books give you. And they were everywhere - even in the guest rooms. My only regret is not staying long enough to read a few of the books they had on display while cuddled in the gorgeous sofas in the common spaces. I also loved the comfortable minimalism of our suite, which had two full bathrooms (quite an unexpected perk).

Really quirky hotel. Amazing for book lovers and those who love old architecture. The restaurant was also good for dinner with a range of options including vegetarian. The breakfast was a buffet style but superb.

unique property full of books lining the walls and shelves. Great location - just at the foothill of Obidos wall. The only downside was the smell: the room has a heavy mildew smell, and the bathrooms has an obvious sewer smell.

Incredible hotel. Best value the room was huge, we had a suite although we booked a room with a double bed. It’s well decorated, you will find all the anémieriez you need and the hotel itself is well situated only a few steps from the old town. The hotel itself is amazing, with their collection of 70 000 books. Furthermore their breakfast buffet is wonderful and so delicious. What an amazing surprise in our trip to Portugal!

The most friendly amazing staff !!! Quaint and lovely and fun and unique

Charming property in a physical sense. Staff was aloof and almost surely upon arrival. No notice that restaurant is fully booked before our arrival. Luckily, wonderful restaurant across the street, we squeezed in there. No staff present at breakfast to assist at all. Again, charming place, but poorly staffed.

Cute and quaint old school feel. Great if you love old books and reading in libraries. Bedding was lacking in pillows. Other than a tiny fridge, no other room amenities like coffee/tea or complimentary water. I also had to request my VIP perk of 1 bottle of wine as it was not offered it to me upon checkin. Overall, you get what you pay for staying in a book-themed auberge in a very touristy old-world town like Obidos.

We loved the Literary Man!! The ambiance and style was amazing. It is a book lovers dream! The bar was fantastic. The staff from the bartenders to the girls at front desk were very kind and accommodating. They allowed us late check out which I appreciated. The suite was huge and beautiful. The only reason its 4 stars instead of 5 was because the bed, bedding and pillows were not comfortable at all. If they can just fix that issue, the hotel would be PERFECT!! Even with the beds, i would recommend this place to anyone coming to Obidos and id definitely stay again! Its right (a few steps) out side of the castle walls. Also the included breakfast buffet was delicious!!

Unique twist of having books everywhere. Not a library but collection of common books mostly in English.

Great Hotel! There is really not a lot of things to do in Obidos other than seeing the castle, but if you are thinking of staying in Obidos, I highly recommend this hotel. The vibe is so serene. We got a free bottle of wine as our VIP perk and we were able to enjoy it while reading some books in their courtyard - i wished that space would have been bigger but its still great. the free breakfast is amazing. Nothing like the ones in north america. We really enjoyed our relaxing stay in this hotel!

Very interesting property with serious number of mainly paperbacks lining the walls. Lovely dining room with subdued lighting and many bookcases again. Had a great meal, good local wine. It is just near the gate through the walls into Obidos, thus is ideally situated for an evening stroll around the walls and along the main street. Absolutely lovely town, Well worth a visit.
