Joi
The room was lovely and the bed super comfy. The room however smelled like a sewer. Whoever installed the plumbing did not seal it correctly. We had to buy a candle to help cover the stench, and use the defuser that was already in the room.
The hotel itself is amazing and the books on the shelves..what a collection very cool. The staff at the reception desk where fantastic, friendly and helpful!
Breakfast is supposed to be served until 11. However, we got there around 10ish most of the items had been picked over and the hot eggs where gone and didn't get replenished until we left. What we did have was okay.

This is a beautiful hotel, in Óbidos, a very unique and special place. The location is perfect for exploring the area, just outside the walls. This hotel distinctly celebrated books and the building was formally a convent. The food was delicious and the bed very comfortable. The only challenge is the stairs are very cumbersome for luggage. I ended up just pulling out necessary items rather than lugging it up several staircases. That, and parking, but it is a medieval city, so use judgment of where to leave your car. I would have liked to stay longer at this property.
Julien
We had a,quick overnight stay and regretted not staying longer. It is a wonderful Hotel and very charming.

Cet endroit est magnifique et nous avons tellement bien mangé au restaurant. Tout était parfait!
Donna
This was a hidden gem and a very interesting property in Obidos. It was fun to see all the books on every wall, nook and cranny ! Very unlike anywhere we have ever stayed. The restaurant was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday evening so we had to go out into the walked city which actually turned out very well. Breakfast in the Literary Man was really good with an amazing assortment of pastries! The property is definitely older and a little worn but had a lot of character .
MIKE
Beautiful property. Excellent breakfast. Staff was really helpful. Bartender make excellent recommendations.
Diane
The hotel was disappointing. I chose it because of the books, but between the books and the old carpet, the common spaces have a strong musty smell like a secondhand store. I was also excited about browsing the books, but found most were just crime novels and thrillers, e.g. multiple copies of Dan Brown, Clive Cussler, Ken Follett and the like. It was more expensive than other much nicer places we have stayed at in other cities in Portugal. The room was ok, but nothing more. It didn't feel like a four star hotel.
Alina
El hecho de no contar con un ascensor lo hizo difícil pues teníamos mucho equipaje
Carolyne
Great location. Beautiful restaurant. Loved the style of the hotel.
Carl
This is a convert old property, it is very unique and the walls are basically bookcases with a lot of books. The only issue we have is that there is no elevator since this is a very old house and we have to carry our heavy luggage up to the second floor. The breakfast was good. You go to Obidos to see old historical stuff and this place gives you the vibes of it. This place is located right outside the castle wall, and we had problem finding parking near the property.
Tatyana
It is good value for the price.
Caroline
Bel hôtel et original avec ses livres partout! Chambre rustique mais confortable et stylisée. Très bon déjeuner et super belle salle à manger.
Amber
Charming hotel filled to the brim with books. I only stayed for 1 night (as Obidos is quite small) but wished I had stayed for longer just because of this hotel. I arrived at 11am and was pleasantly surprised to be told my room was ready, so I could check in early - great start! The room was large with separate living space, 2 bathrooms and a small outside terrace. The receptionist was friendly and she organised a restaurant booking for me at the hotel’s Book and Cook (also lovely). She also informed me of the hotel’s new secret garden, which was a lovely sun trap in the evening with a glass of wine. Finally, I was unable to stay for the breakfast due to catching an early bus from nearby Caldas da Rainha to Porto (Ubers also serve this hotel thankfully!), but the staff insisted on organising a packed lunch box for me to take away on my travels which was very kind of them to keep offering. The hotel is just outside the Obidos wall and well located to access everything you need to explore this town. I would go back to Obidos just for this hotel alone!
Manon
Of you are dropping in Obidos overnight you have to stay here.
Breakfast was amazing and dinner, I highly recommend the filet.
Service, staff, ambiance…. All absolutely amazing.
Book lovers, over 90k books displayed.

We stayed at The Literary Man during our 2 week honeymoon in Portugal. It was such a unique and fun place to stay. The decor and books everywhere just added to the experience. With it right outside the walls of Obidos, it give you very quick access to everything g that Obidos has to offer plus it was away from the crowds. The staff were amazing and so helpful! The restaurant had great food and drinks! We would stay there again, without a doubt.
Andrew
We loved the books and our room. Breakfast and dinner were amazing and location couldn't have been better. Absolutely loved Obidos and Portugal. Thank you for an awesome experience. I would highly recommend to any traveler.
Deborah
We had a one night stay at The Literary Man. It is in a great location. Staff was very nice and responsive. The breakfast was very nice, probably the best we had in Portugal! We did not take advantage of the bar, however, the bar/restaurant looked beautiful. The library feel flows throughout this hotel. Wish we had more time to enjoy it!
Shantel
The woman at the front desk was so friendly and informative and the breakfast was delicious. I would highly recommend this hotel, which is also in the perfect location.
Silvana
Fomos muito bem recepcionados. Tudo estava muito limpo e organizado. O café da manhã, uma delícia. Do nosso quarto conseguíamos enxergar a muralha da Vila, de onde íamos e víamos o tempo todo por ser muito perto. Precisamos tomar café mais cedo para virmos embora e os funcionários que estavam na recepção e na organização do café foram muito generosos, permitindo que nos servíssemos antes da hora. A quantidade imensa de livros espalhados pelo hotel dão um charme especial a ele.
Michel
Le personnel est très accueillant et accommodant. Notre chambre était confortable et nous avions même un petit salon. Cet établissement est rempli de livres de toutes sortes, mais surtout à deux pas des remparts. Nos amis nous l’avait recommandé et nous n’avons pas été déçu.
Kathleen
Breakast was good but a limited selection.
Kathleen
Staff were wonderful! Room was large, clean and inviting! Loved the hundreds of books throughout!
Christianne
Stayed in a deluxe sweet first one only one TV worked second one the plumbing in both bathrooms sinks didn’t drain overnight was still filled with water in one bathroom the toilet seat was not attached and was three sizes too small also did not have toilet paper roll holders, and there was no towel racks. In both bathrooms I see these as basic necessities every room should have. Also, on hotels they state they have a spa. There is no spa on site or around the hotel.
Kevin
Incredible breakfast and a very unique hotel. Would highly recommend.
Jill
Room was spacious and clean.

Loved the property. Close to everything and we found parking close by (travelled in November). In the evening they put on a fire in and it was so cozy.
Stanford
We had such a nice time here. Found a fun book to read for my travels and enjoyed a fantastic breakfast. If you are visiting the castle, you have to stay here!
Danielle
One of the most unique hotels we stayed at in Portugal. The staff were some of the nicest people we met. The breakfast was amazing and the location can’t be beat, right in the heart of Obidos.

This hotel is a beautiful unique charm. The only improvement would be the need for newer mattresses.

Brian
The hotel is charming and offers a very \"home away from home\" feel but all the staff are the real stars. Each and everyone are just naturally good natured and accommodating. Lydia always greeted me with a smile and made sure I had everything I needed. The bar and restaurant are not only convenient but also a very beautiful spot to enjoy your most wonderful, top notch meals!
Sandra
Perfect!
A wonderful hotel, charming in every way and perfectly situated. Thank you. Family will be back

Hotel is in need of an upgrade/renovation. Basic elements are missing like a kettle to boil water.

Loved this hotel. Right outside the city walls it was very convenient for parking (December) and to enter the old city.
The hotel is old worldly, in a good way. The breakfast was fabulous. Lots of choice with much of it home made.

Paul Eric
The property has a great location and unique concept. Close to the castle and inside the medieval town. We had a major problem with service at night. The bar staff refused to serve us telling us they were out of \"drinks\". It was 9pm and we were asked to go somewhere else. When we returned 2 couples were enjoying white wine and a cocktail. This hotel is NOT inclusive choosing who they serve. We will not return nor will we recommend it as a result. The front desk staff and breakfast staff are amazing but the dinning room have an exclusive mentality. Disappointing
Uma
One of a kind. Loved it
Sandra
Staff were friendly and the breakfast was amazing!
Deyana
I loved that feeling of being transported to an old library of the past... Nothing compares to the smell and comfort physical books give you. And they were everywhere - even in the guest rooms. My only regret is not staying long enough to read a few of the books they had on display while cuddled in the gorgeous sofas in the common spaces.
I also loved the comfortable minimalism of our suite, which had two full bathrooms (quite an unexpected perk).

My thoughts
Great location the restaurant was excellent. However the hotel itself is looking dated also mildewing smell in the hallways think it was coming from the carpet
Lorna
Great for book lovers!
Really quirky hotel. Amazing for book lovers and those who love old architecture. The restaurant was also good for dinner with a range of options including vegetarian. The breakfast was a buffet style but superb.
Danhao
unique property full of books lining the walls and shelves. Great location - just at the foothill of Obidos wall. The only downside was the smell: the room has a heavy mildew smell, and the bathrooms has an obvious sewer smell.
Stéphanie
Incredible surprise!
Incredible hotel. Best value the room was huge, we had a suite although we booked a room with a double bed. It’s well decorated, you will find all the anémieriez you need and the hotel itself is well situated only a few steps from the old town. The hotel itself is amazing, with their collection of 70 000 books. Furthermore their breakfast buffet is wonderful and so delicious.
What an amazing surprise in our trip to Portugal!

The most friendly amazing staff !!! Quaint and lovely and fun and unique
Susan
Charming property in a physical sense. Staff was aloof and almost surely upon arrival. No notice that restaurant is fully booked before our arrival. Luckily, wonderful restaurant across the street, we squeezed in there.
No staff present at breakfast to assist at all.
Again, charming place, but poorly staffed.

Cute and quaint old school feel. Great if you love old books and reading in libraries. Bedding was lacking in pillows. Other than a tiny fridge, no other room amenities like coffee/tea or complimentary water. I also had to request my VIP perk of 1 bottle of wine as it was not offered it to me upon checkin. Overall, you get what you pay for staying in a book-themed auberge in a very touristy old-world town like Obidos.
Ali
We loved the Literary Man!! The ambiance and style was amazing. It is a book lovers dream! The bar was fantastic. The staff from the bartenders to the girls at front desk were very kind and accommodating. They allowed us late check out which I appreciated. The suite was huge and beautiful. The only reason its 4 stars instead of 5 was because the bed, bedding and pillows were not comfortable at all. If they can just fix that issue, the hotel would be PERFECT!! Even with the beds, i would recommend this place to anyone coming to Obidos and id definitely stay again! Its right (a few steps) out side of the castle walls. Also the included breakfast buffet was delicious!!
hubert
Unique twist of having books everywhere. Not a library but collection of common books mostly in English.
Rachelle
Great Hotel! There is really not a lot of things to do in Obidos other than seeing the castle, but if you are thinking of staying in Obidos, I highly recommend this hotel. The vibe is so serene. We got a free bottle of wine as our VIP perk and we were able to enjoy it while reading some books in their courtyard - i wished that space would have been bigger but its still great. the free breakfast is amazing. Nothing like the ones in north america. We really enjoyed our relaxing stay in this hotel!
John
Love the service
Marcelo
Great location.
Nicholas
Very interesting property with serious number of mainly paperbacks lining the walls. Lovely dining room with subdued lighting and many bookcases again. Had a great meal, good local wine. It is just near the gate through the walls into Obidos, thus is ideally situated for an evening stroll around the walls and along the main street. Absolutely lovely town, Well worth a visit.
Dean
This hotel is literally steps from the Moorish castle walls! The town is charming and very photogenic. The hotel was full of history! The bed was very comfortable, and the staff were pleasant.
Joe
Our stay was excellent in every aspect.

In the Obidos old town, next to the wall. 70,000 books. Books are everywhere.
Breakfast is fabulous.
Few min walking to the attractions.
Water is not hot enough for shower.

Amazing setting with books all around. The breakfast buffet looked like a work of art. Dinner in the restaurant was also fabulous The staff were so friendly and helpful. The only downside was the limited hot water but they were working on that fix while we were there. Would absolutely recommend.
Randolph
The staff at The Literary Man were first rate. It a great concept with a laid back atmosphere and books lining almost every wall. We ate dinner elsewhere, but the breakfast was a hearty buffet. They could use a bit better WIFI connectivity (a minor point). Remember that you’re in a repurposed cabin convent. Very cool looking, but not North American corporate slick (which for some may be an issue). We’d stay here again.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

We love The Literary Man! The staff is SO nice (both the front desk and the restaurant). We recommend the restaurant. It’s a beautiful room and the food was excellent.
The room we stayed in was quiet and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was a little rustic - the facilities were nice (and a big shower with great water pressure), but there is only a curtain closure (no door).
We definitely recommend this hotel. And it’s right next to the Obidos wall, with easy access up some stairs. A great find.

This is an outstanding hotel! The welcome is warm and the service is gracious. The book theme is everywhere, and there's a reason for it - ask! The rooms are large and although modern, retain some of their historic flavour. The bed was beyond comfy. I absolutely love this place!

The dining room is amazing! What a crazy idea to have all those books. It gives a special atmosphere. Service was excellent and breakfast pretty good. However our room was kind of damp and no door for the toilets, that is kind of weird.

Not good!
Disappointed! Photos on website are deceiving. Property is a beautiful building that is run down, old carpets, painted bathroom floor is peeling, dirty. Found an old ticket dated 1-2 September under the bed and it is 31 December! The bathroom “door” is a flimsy curtain. Mattress was uncomfortable. The miniature “safe” is from the previous century and not bolted to the wall, so any criminal can carry it out of the room. The fridge is also a miniature for only 3 cans. Parking is a problem as you need to find street parking somewhere! Breakfast! Well the fruit was old and not fit for human consumption, pineapple was discoloured and apples soft and old. Not a great breakfast. As a VIP gold member we did not get our free bottle of wine and upon check out we queried it. Only the did they give us the wine bottle. Not recommended!
Cassidy
We love the concept, but it just isn’t a great stay in reality. The rooms are so musty smelling and moist, there were stains on our sheets, the Wi-Fi only worked in the lobby, and there was no plug so we couldn’t get enjoy the bathtub. The food was great and the idea is lovely, but I was very uncomfortable staying here because of how wet it smelled and felt in our room.

Amazing hotel and food!!
Amazing!! Loved this place full of books on every shelf in all the rooms. Amazing chef and food on site!!! Excellent staff. Convenient to walking streets and the wall around the city.
Jeff
Love the vibe and 59,000 books throughout- great staff. Very friendly and helpful.
Edna
Parking is very hard in that area and hotel doesn’t have parking space . No elevators or staff to help with luggage, our room was 3rd floor and we had to climb 44 stairs to carry our luggage up and our check out down .
Location is excellent as sightseeing. Staff were nice .
Breakfast was okay to good , and free . Food in Restaurant for dinner was excellent, we had to pay for that.

The hotel was lovely - especially if you have any interest in literature. The walls are lined with over 50,000 books. It creates a remarkably warm background as well as a natural curiosity about the collection of books. The room accommodations were very basic. The location to the walls of Obidos are fabulous. The highlight of the hotel is the dining room and the chef’s preparation of delicious food. It was an amazing creative dinner. Highly recommended for the food.
Jordan
Rooms are musty like the books everywhere and outdated and small. Hard beds and carpet that needs to GO. On the plus side, staff is very friendly and parking was easy and close (by Portugal standards anyway). It has a lot of character and just needs some love in the interior to get 5 stars!
Carmen
Great property to stay just out of the city walls but right near everything. Is the place to be.
Romina
It was an amazing experience. Different hotel, breakfast was great, they accommodate a late check out for us so we can explore the city. We even got a bottle of wine as VIP members.
Alastair
An unusual hotel in a great location. Facilities a little basic/ tired, but everything worked. Staff very friendly and available. Communal spaces (lobby, dining, library) were quirky and fun. Good restaurants close by and easy access to the old center of Obidos. Good value and happy to recommend.
Brian
