    Skip to the good part!

    This enchanting hotel immerses you in a world of literature, with walls adorned by books and a cozy dining area featuring a crackling fireplace. The staff was warm and attentive. I savored exquisite dishes while lost in the ambiance. Just a wish for more reading nooks—time slipped away far too quickly with so many books calling my name!

    Charming Ambiance with Some Quirks

    We enjoyed our stay despite some peculiarities. The restaurant served delightful dishes with live music that set a warm atmosphere. A comforting reading nook would enhance the experience. Pro tip, check room conditions before unpacking, and don’t miss the unique decor throughout the hotel.

    literary ambiance
    nice breakfast
    unique property
    cold bathroom
    uncomfortable bed

    This hotel stood out with tons of books everywhere, creating such a cozy vibe. The breakfast was delightful and offered a variety of options. Loved having a little nook in the hotel where we could enjoy our pizza one evening. The room was spacious and clean, with a lovely balcony overlooking the garden. What didn’t work for me was the bed. it felt worn out and uncomfortable. Also, the bathroom was a bit chilly, which made it less enjoyable. Parking was tricky due to narrow streets in Obidos, which is something to keep in mind. Despite the few hiccups, I would still recommend this place for the unique ambiance and the literary theme.

    We loved exploring Obidos from this unique hotel with five teens! The cozy library vibe and huge selection of books kept everyone entertained. The ambiance in the restaurant was welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home.

    bathroom conditions

    I recently stayed at a charming hotel in Obidos where I was really impressed by the cozy reading nooks and the delightful breakfast spread. The peaceful library ambiance combined with the beautiful garden area made it such a lovely spot to unwind. Just a heads up, the bathrooms could use a little updating, but it didn't take away from my overall great experience! 😊
