Given its nature, the review of this establishment is a difficult exercise. At a "promotion" price of Euro 198 (including breakfast) for a normal room, you would expect the 5 stars standard. Well, do not forget you'll spend your night(s) in a castle which construction started under Muslim era in the 8th century! So, unless you book into the King's... More

The thought of living in a medieval (12th century) castle was intriguing. Unfortunately the reality was slightly disappointing. Castles by their nature were placed in positions where they could be adequately defended. So its location made access by car difficult. This was compounded by the fact that castles tend to have lots of stairs and no lifts (elevators). The rooms... More

This place has charm but on the practical side there is a sacrifice. Our room was as small as a cell. The bath was it's match. The only reasonable place to dine is at the Pousada; over priced with marginal service. Otherwise, after a bit of wine it could be a real challenge to get back up the hill to... More

This was our third visit to Óbidos. I managed to persuade my husband that it would be worth navigating the narrow streets and fighting our way through crowds of tourists as I had, at last, managed to book a room in the Pousada (thanks to its recent enlargement from 8 rooms to 17). The site of the Paço is magical... More

the rooms in the fort are very small and dark. the rooms in the addition are much nicer but they dont have the character one associates with the Pousadas. The staff were very atttentive, cahrming and were there to please. Top marks for the managers and the bell hop.the brealfast room in the old fort was splendid. Obidos was our... More

This place is located in a unique place: a real castle. Unfortunately the service is not more than average and the staff doesn't match the place. Nice rooms and the restaurant is good enough, but really expensive. A bad value, especially if compared with another historical pusada (Palacio do Freixo) of the Historical Pousadas chain in Porto. A dinner without... More

Recently stayed at the Pousada de Obidos for two nights. We were able to get rooms inside the castle portion of the pousada, which was definitely worth it! Once you navigate the tiny and steep roads that come with staying at any hilltop lodging in Europe, you can drop your bags and relax in this wonderful walled town! The pousada... More

Stayed in the room which is in fort walls and enyoyed the great views. Staff at hotel very helpful. Was at hotel during chochlate festival. Hotel rooms very comfortable and well designed. Able to walk to shops in restaurants in Obidos.

This was my second visit and in 15 years the property has only gotten better. The rooms are comfortable, the staff top rate, the food wonderful and the view spectacular. The village is charming with many more English speaking people than last time. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay there again myself.
