We booked a room at the castle for just one night. We found hair from previous guests in the shower. The tile caulk had some moldy stains as well. The water glass in the restroom had toothpaste residues. We told the staff but their response was a simple “we are sorry”. The room service and maintenance wasn’t worth the price paid (over $400/night with taxes). The village is beautiful and totally worth it. We will choose a different place next time though.

First, remember that it IS inside a castle. It is NOT the Four Seasons. That said, here are some and - points: staff could not have been sweeter or more helpful! you will DEFINITELY feel like you are in a castle; it’s COOL: location is perfect for strolling the shops, bars and restaurants and you can hop on the “wall” from anywhere. the associated restaurant is amazing; you just have to be able to navigate all the stairs leading up to it. - First of all, the description of this hotel is very flawed. The “lounge” and “bar” consist of some tables, chairs, and umbrellas outside. The desk guy will bring you wine or beer but the only food or snacks available are ice cream bars in a frig outside. - These rooms are DEFINITELY not “sound proof.” In my 1st night there, I could not go to sleep until the person above me did. Until then, I heard every step he took, every item he dropped or pushed across the floor. Of course, I also woke up when he/she did. I told them about it at the front desk and they moved me to a more quiet room. It was a much smaller room than I had paid for but I didn’t care, as long as I could sleep peacefully. And I did. Up until 11 pm when all heck broke loose with drilling and pounding right outside my door. I called the front desk but they were unaware of any repairs being done. I heard her come up and talk to the guy and by midnight, the noise had stopped. - Yes, it is a castle, but be prepared for extremely poor lighting.

Óbidos Pousada
It was very confusing to determine where to park and how to get to the Pousada, as no cars are allowed. Once we figured that out, a van picked us up in the designated place and took us to the top of the village to the reception area for the hotel. There are a lot of stairs, so not a good place for those with mobility issues. The room was very cozy and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was included, but you have to walk up some steep stairs to get to the restaurant. Overall we really enjoyed the town, but not sure the expense of the hotel was worth it.

Overnight stay in a castle!
How often can you say you stayed in a castle? As mentioned before, there are a lot of stairs, but it’s worth it to have the experience! Our room was across the hall from an outdoor balcony, which overlooked the area. My husband took a walk around the castle wall in the morning, which he enjoyed. Breakfast was lovely. Overall a nice stay in a beautiful town.

İt was a beautiful place. Hotel is simple but has it’s historic value. My room was not within the castle but they do have such rooms. No shower curtain or glass for the shower basin. İt got wet everywhere. Very uncomfortable this part of the experience.

False information about their property
I chose this property because they indicate "Free onsite self parking". Actually the whole village is not allow outsiders' cars to enter the village gate. The property sent me an email 3 days before our check-in, simply said welcome, never mentioned anything about how to get there. We arrived at Obidos village gate before 7pm & drove into village according Google Map. The up and down driving on narrow stone road is very difficult. We finally got to the gate, but the gate is locked. We did not have a local map in paper. So we had to use Google Map and try to figure out how to get to the hotel by other route. It was getting dark. The narrow streets are very steep and slippery, and most of them are one way road. It was very stressful and scary experience. We tried to call the property. But the phone number they give is for loacal callers only. We use Roger's roaming as home program and must mak international call to the property. By 8pm, we finally found the entry of their property. The receptionist was super rude and denied all the facts. My husband had to drove the car outside the village and walked back up to the hill top. It was near 9pm. This property has a restaurant onsite. But they simply decided not open on that day. Other restaurants in the village all closed before or at 9pm. So we could not have dinner. I called hotels.com about it. In the property's respond, they are still insisted that they have parking but fully occupied by other customers.

Wonderful hotel
A special experience. A beautiful hotel with medieval motifs combined with modern comfort. A large room decorated with a magical atmosphere. Heartfelt and exclusive service. It's a shame that all the details are not taken care of. The coffee table is peeling and the toilet paper is cheap. A room with 2 beds and a window was specially ordered and we received a room with one bed without a window. Other than that it was perfect.

The room was very small, barely had a window and had clear signs of mold. The price was amongst the most expensive and the quality was subpar. We spent two hours looking for our car when we left because the hotel personnel had moved it to a better space but didn’t communicate it to us. That’s unacceptable.

We could not get to the hotel because all road access was blocked by a huge Christmas festival going on. After a couple of hours of trying to get there, we gave up and went to another town. You should block this hotel from booking in December, it is inaccessible.
