8/10 Very Good

Loved this hotel. Right outside the city walls it was very convenient for parking (December) and to enter the old city. The hotel is old worldly, in a good way. The breakfast was fabulous. Lots of choice with much of it home made.

6/10 Good

The property has a great location and unique concept. Close to the castle and inside the medieval town. We had a major problem with service at night. The bar staff refused to serve us telling us they were out of "drinks". It was 9pm and we were asked to go somewhere else. When we returned 2 couples were enjoying white wine and a cocktail. This hotel is NOT inclusive choosing who they serve. We will not return nor will we recommend it as a result. The front desk staff and breakfast staff are amazing but the dinning room have an exclusive mentality. Disappointing

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).

Great for book lovers!
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 surprise!
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!
