Small hotel close to the main parking lot. We chose to pay for 3 hours of parking for a small fee at the public lot (2 for the evening and 2 in the morning) instead of parking in the more distant lot. Simple room with onsuite bath. Our host and hostess were very welcoming. Continental style breakfast selected from a list the night before. Great stay.

This hotel met all my expectations for the ancient European hotel: the house needless to say, the historical building, the furniture is any 18th century, the decoration is very antique, for me this nostalgia is very strong people undoubtedly full of attraction. The breakfast ceremony is full of sense, the food quality is fresh and delicious, the food is very satisfying, the staff are elegant and generous, warm and thoughtful. Needless to say, the hotel environment is exquisite and beautiful. The pool brings us a lot of happiness and leisure. Of course, this old hotel can't be satisfied every week because the room is not big, such as no coffee tea can be self-service at any time, but it feels very lucky to be able to live in the town medieval festival. The guests here are also very elegant and tasteful, very pleasant! Hopefully I can come here again.

I’ve never had so many mixed feelings about a hotel! I love reading so when I saw this hotel is all about books, it seemed the perfect hotel for me. The staff is just lovely, and we had dinner in the restaurant which was the best meal I’ve had during our trip (order the filet mignon and thank me later). The halls are shabby with old stained carpet but you only walk past that. The room however….. I loved the books and the vibe they tried to create, but the bed was cheap and the sheets were stained. The bathroom was sooo old, it needs to be remodeled right away. I’ve seen pictures online and think some rooms are renovated a bit and some aren’t and we just weren’t lucky. We only spent one night there so I just stayed up very late so I didn’t have to sleep in the bed too much and skipped the shower. The hotel has a lot of potential, the restaurant is fantastic and the staff is great, they should renovate the rooms so you don’t pay a 4-star price for a 2-star bedroom. Again I want to make it very clear the staff is excellent and the food amazing!

...looking for the Pousada CASA LIDADOR in Obidos! This is how our difficulties and problems arose. We arrive late afternoon after having contacted advising the time at which we would arrive at our destination. Everything OK. Parked as expected outside the walls, I called the number on our reservation again. Answer: go to reception to register and get the keys to access our room. The reception was located in another structure still within the walls. I'll go to the reception where we got along with extreme difficulty. Register me and my husband, then I ask if someone can accompany me to the Pousada where we have our room. It was now dark and the map was very confusing. My question was not enthusiastic but a hotel employee was asked to guide me. We walk along the main street and when we reach the corner of an alley he tells me to go up and I will find the structure. He goes back to the other hotel. I go up the steps but in the dark, no illuminated signs or lights helped me find the structure. After several attempts, after asking the nearby places for information, I return to the reception very disappointed. The same boy returns with me and this time leads me to the entrance and gives me the directions to access. This behavior seemed really rude to me from everyone: reception, companion. They could have been kinder and above all they could have led me immediately to the entrance of the Pousada. The room was small compared to the photos on the site but was still clean and nice as was the bathroom. On the ground floor a room for breakfast with cups, tea and sugar available. I hope that this experience does not happen to other guests because during the day everything is easier while in the dark this becomes really complicated. It seems almost useless to point out that accompanying guests is polite and courtesy. In other places-structures where we went during our holiday the staff had always been very kind and helpful.

There are positives and negatives to staying at the Pousada Vila Obidos. To their credit, this is a very nice micro-hotel that is situated in an unusual place - Obidos. It is virtually in the shadow of a castle and the old world flair of this town makes it very special. The hotel itself is pretty and nicely appointed. Breakfast is the highlight of this hotel. Now for the not so good... The hotel is not accessible by car so you need to be aware that you will have to carry all your baggage up a pretty steep cobblestone path and several steps to the front door. We did not know this until it was nearly too late to make other arrangements / cancel. We did receive an email during our travels with a ”warning” but it seemed too late. We arrived during a rain storm, so the cobblestones were quite wet and slippery. The room was not completely clean with a used bottle left behind. Also, there is a cat (or cats) on the property that followed us everywhere. My husband is extremely allergic. Had we known there was a CAT on the property, at the breakfast area, and allowed to jump on the chairs and tables in the dining room we would never have booked here. Sorry, we were disappointed and itchy.
