This is most likely the nicest hotel in Obidos, located in the former medieval Moorish Castle and subsequent Bishops Palace, in the heart of the old city. Note that you must park outside the walls in the free lot behind a nearby bank. The hotel provides a golf cart shuttle for your luggage. The rooms are comfortable. Good included breakfast in the Bishops Palace.

Dining at the pousada leaves much to be desired. The staff was very attentive however it appears that the problem was in the kitchen. It took us about an hour and a half to get our order. I ordered a steak which was raw and was served with fried potato peels. My wife ordered risotto which was good. There were only two other tables with customers. There were also flies buzzing about the dining room.

Our stay in the castle was a great experince. The staff friendly. Breakfast great with some healthy choices Need to know walking here is on cobblestones. Cars are not allowed. If staying at the castle you are walking with suitcases from the bottom to the top. Wear good shoes Lots to do within the castle. Other places to visit are about an hour away

Loved the "idea" and enjoyed staying at the property. Hotel restaurant was good. I appreciated the message warning of the parking arrangement. One criticism would be that the mattress needed to be replaced.

We stayed in the castle, and it was a fun, unique experience. Gorgeous views from the terrace! Very grateful a staff member helped us with our bags (the stairs are tiny). Fun experience!

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.

This is a 1000 year old castle. It is impressive in every way in a homey sort of way. The shuttle from parking to our room and back was very helpful. The restaurant was excellent for dinner and the included breakfast. There is an area in front of the reception area that overlooks the town with tables and chairs where they serve drinks. The bathroom is small, but the shower is powerful with plenty of hot water. The staff was very pleasant, from the shuttle driver to the reception to the dining room staff. It is an unique experience.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was a basement type accommodation- smelled of mold and very spartan. We expected some discomfort being a Medieval Castle property but we were in an annex quite a distance from the main castle and more distant still from the restaurant. On the positive the breakfast was excellent with many choices of cereals, breads and fruits. Overall a 3 star property.

Lovely castle stay in Obidos

This is a unique hotel located inside a castle which we loved. As others have mentioned in othe reviews the parking may be and issue since it's outside the medieval castle walls. It's not far but could be an issue if you have mobility issues. The staff were very helpful with luggage and check-in and gave us recs for town. This is a very small but beautiful town set almost entirely within the castle walls so everything was within walking distance from the hotel. We were alson fortunate enough to be there during holy week and witnessed a church processional through town that included massive candles and a band. Very neat experience all around.

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.

The experience of staying in an old castle was amazing. The lounge areas are very comfortable, I could even have a couple of business video calls there, while enjoying the complimentary tea and cookies The restaurant were we had breakfast is amazing, it was the dinner hall of the castle and you can feel like in the Middle Ages. Views from there are beautiful, we had dinner one evening and it was very good too You can start the walk over the ramparts right outside the hotel, it’s a must, you can circle around the whole town enjoying the amazing views The only con: we asked for a room inside the castle ( we thought it would be more charming), but the rooms there are too small, no closets and the bathroom was so small that the water form the shower was flooding the whole bathroom We asked to be moved to another room ( this was outside the castle, they have another wing next to the reception), and this was great: ample and comfortable The ginginha ( sour cherry brandy) little bottle as a gift was a nice touch too There is no better way to enjoy the Obidos medieval ambience than staying in this hotel

Medieval royal experience? More like a medieval nightmare! There’s no way for cars to access the castle because of the festival. The back gate to the resident parking lot is closed for reason behind my comprehension. This means residents need to drag their heavy luggages through uneven cobblestone pavement through the festival crowd all the way from the front wall entrance to the castle!!! The staff was nice enough to give us a ride with the company car the night of check in and promised to help again when we checked out…but as expected, on the day of check out, they did not have the car available and simply offered an insincere apology for the inconvenience. Hence, my husband and I had to drag our heavy luggages like some peasants through the streets and then the gravel filled parking lot to get to our car. If the hotel were any serious about hospitality, it wouldn’t ask the paying guests to go through such hassle for the stay. I wanted to like Óbidos but this hotel definitely ruined this town for me. To add the cherry on top of this nightmare of a stay, we were locked OUT and then IN the room because the door lock is so old that it gets stuck! Definitely will not return to this hotel or recommend it to anybody! Very unhappy customer!
