Despite the building being old, the room was very comfortable and spacious enough for us. Excellent reception and service. We received a welcome shot of Ginja (a typical drink from the Óbidos region), a bottle of mineral water, and nuts in the room. The hotel is located within the town of Óbidos and does not have parking, but you can park outside the walls. The breakfast was very good and varied. The restaurant attached to the hotel is very pleasant and offers craft beers.
This hotel has become well known for being a book lovers haven. The hotel itself is super interesting and each room is different. My friend and I each stayed in different parts of the hotel and had very different looking and feeing rooms. Which means each time you stay there; there could be a new discovery. The hallways and corridors are lined with books. Even if you don't stay here I would highly recommend eating at the restaurant. The food was amazing every time.
The only thing I would recommend if this hotel needs more cozy reading areas. They have a couple but they are not the most comfortable places to sit; although they are definitely aesthetically pleasing and fit the vibe of the hotel's history. We spent a lot of time out in the courtyard reading; there's a great spot under a large tree with canvas chairs.
The room is clean and old-fashioned. On the hillside, the small stone road, it is hard to walk! This is a small town in the middle of the world, with a ring city wall, you can walk on the city wall.
The location is great and the suites are also. There are only a few repairs: the refrigerator is near bed and it makes a lot of noise during the night. It gets a lot of clarity in the suite very soon.
The suites are very good (the bathroom wasn't very hot, but we're not sure it's very cold at night) and the beds are very comfortable.
Another suggestion would be to have a spa space and/or activities for co-existence, even if it were table games, to do something with the greenhouse crops.
The dinner in the restaurant was great, we recommend.
