Caldas da Rainha hotels

Pros: The beautiful surroundings and the whole atmosphere

Cons: The fact that the hotel only offered complimentary bottled water on the first day Most 5 star hotels provide water on a daily basis

Pros: The beach was stunning. The staff was very helpful.

Cons: Small thing - the hot breakfast items could have been better.

Pros: Spotlessly clean, good pool, no problem getting sun beds at anytime during the day, gym was good and much better than average hotel gym, staff were all very nice, tennis centre is well run, beautiful long beach - great for walks/runs/sunsets but not for swimming - big waves and strong currents. Breakfast buffet is substantial and pleasant. Yoga/Pilates and spin classes in the morning were good and reasonable cost (€5). Two offsite trips i would recommend are a visit to Óbidos and the trip from Peniche to Berlengas (on the fast boat, not the bigger slower ones).

Cons: There is a decent activity schedule but a lot of them are offsite (surfing/paddle board/football). The hotel is well away from nearest villages/offsite restaurants so strongly recommend you have access to a car. Onsite restaurants are pricy (in Portuguese terms) and would recommend trying restaurants in the local towns. It’s a quiet enough hotel compared to some resorts that have more entertainment and buzz - not a criticism but just good to know what you are expecting when you book.

Pros: Remoteness and nearness to sea Golf course

Cons: N/A

Pros: The breakfast was decent and offered a wide variety of pastries, cereals and drinks. Access to the beach was fantastic. the staff was very accommodating and polite. Lots of sunbeds, very serene and relaxing place. The indoor pool and Jacuzzi was great.

Pros: Lovely resort, very family friendly and nice pool and great facilities

Cons: Food was just ok. Indoor pool you had to buy a bathing cap which was way overpriced

Pros: My husband and I stayed at this hotel in early July 2019 for 8-nights and had a standard double room overlooking the adjoining golf course. * Breakfast was served until 11:00. Food varied and good quality, plus helpful staff especially Telmo and Leon … breakfast room can be somewhat hectic at times, especially the hour before closure ! * Attractive room, newly refurbished, with a spacious bathroom with bath and overhead shower. * Great sound-proofing in the room – was only ever woken by my alarm ! * Plenty of hanging and storage space. * Plenty of USB sockets, so adaptor plugs not needed only the lead. * Excellent air con in room, fully adjustable i.e. not set centrally. * Very comfortable 6ft bed, even in a standard garden room – slept 10 hours every night with absolutely no difficulty. The problem was waking up in time for breakfast ! * Lovely bed linen and super comfortable standard pillows (and there is even a pillow menu if the standard version is not comfortable enough). * Great window black-outs and quality curtains – important for me as I wake up at the slightest light ! * Large fridge and above it a kettle and tea & coffee-making facilities. * Attractive and well-maintained pool area, with plenty of loungers and umbrellas. * Lovely (empty) beach just a 3 minute walk from the pool area. * Generally plenty of parking – unless there is a conference on, as on the day we arrived and then we struggled to park until the evening. * Overall very helpful staff – I unfortunately had my credit card wallet stolen on a visit to nearby Obidos and the reception staff were helpful the following day, phoning round the places we had visited in Obidos to check the wallet hadn’t simply fallen out of my bag (which, sadly, it hadn’t, so all my debit and credit cards had to be stopped). We will return to this comfortable hotel for bed and breakfast - but will generally eat out unless the food and beverages become more realistically priced. 

Cons: o Expensive for drinks and food – about double what you would expect to pay in the UK e.g. E12.50 for a G&T ?! Dinner E29.95 pp for the buffet – we went to ‘Moo’ in Ferrel (excellent if you like steak) and twice to Taberna do Ganhao in Baleal (overlooking the beach and excellent for great service and a range of quality food). o No independent bars or restaurants within walking distance – unless you have a car (which fortunately we did), you are a “captive audience” for the hotel’s overpriced food and drinks. o No secure wi-fi network ….. had to create secure hot-spots in order to sign into my work network.

Pros: Lovely location, great breakfast and dinner. Lovely golf course

Cons: Nothing

Pros: we liked everything about the hotel

Breakfast was great as well. They have breakfast beginning at 8:35 am because the fresh bread arrives at 8:30 am. Everything was just wonderful. This was one of my husband and I's favorite places to stay during our Honeymoon through Portugal and we hope to go back someday soon!

Pros: Beautiful historic house. 20 meters away from one of the doors that gives you access into the small charming village of Obidos. The room was great as well as the staff.

Pros: Great bed, confortável, clean

Pros: A FABULOUS time spent at the Sana hotel in Caldas, excellent position for a stroll into the centre, also very handy for exploring the silver coast. The free parking was an unexpected bonus, so on foul days you didn't have to take the car out, just explore the stores and cinema on your doorstep. Rooms were clean spacious and comfy and the staff were very pleasant, which can be unusual for a large hotel. Most definitely be returning.

Pros: Il was simply perfect on all thé Line.

Pros: Comfy bed but don’t like sheet/blanket- should have duvets these days! Bathroom has been updated but too squashed & hot water took 5 mins to come through in morning. Staff excellent - a credit to hotel! Dinner excellent - breakfast quite good.

Cons: As above!

Pros: הכול

Cons: We did not receive any directions from the booking. We walked for 25 minutes by the walls, back and forth unable to reach the vehicle. If you book, ask for directions by car.

Pros: Lovely hotel right in the heart of this beautiful walled town. Some great little bars and restaurants close by. Nice room. Comfortable bed, and good bathroom.

Pros: Friendly receptionist. Nice room.

Pros: Easy access to every point in small village were walking distance.

Cons: It was difficult to go inside of Obidos castle by car. The car navigation containous lead me wrong way. the guide map would be good help for the guests. Please attach the map in the hotel information.

Cons: The beds are in desperate need of replacement. Staff said that is in the docket for next year.

Pros: Excellent location, wonderfully friendly staff, great breakfast, and the back patio was so peaceful. Just what we needed after a long day. Loved staying in the “hotel of the queens.” The amenities were great- provided water, had a great minibar selection, and an elevator!! It’s been tough with a large suitcase.

Cons: Everything was wonderful!

Pros: right in the center, clean, confortable and friendly, the right place to be in Obidos ( with parking space )

Pros: Nice little boutique hotel which is in a great location for the main town area. Friendly staff on arrival and a welcome drink of the local cherry liquor on arrival!

Cons: Very difficult to find and the streets are very narrow to drive through. Call ahead and get good directions from the staff so you don’t drive around getting stressed for ages!

Pros: Good Location within the walls of Obidos.

Cons: We booked the Suite which is up a few stairs from Reception so you hear EVERYTHING!!! We had no sleep at all as all the clients coming in and out during the night all talking and chatting which kept us awake. The front door open and closing constantly was so annoying so the sound proofing is really poor. The parking was dreadful and driving into the main Obidos walled city was probably one of the most frightening experiences ever. Such a shame as the suite was really nice but you dont get any sleep which kind of defeats the object!

Pros: a small and beatuful rural hotel, 5 minutes drive from Ovidos ' friendly and clean', good breakfast pleasant stay!

Pros: The apartment was very clean and also the swimming pool. The staff was friendly.

Cons: There was a mix-up with the bedlinen of the sofa bed in the first night, which was fixed in the second day.

Pros: The rooms are spacious and the property has nice amenities including a swimming pool.

Cons: n/a

Pros: A beautiful location in the mountain, a place with an artistic touch. Swimming pool, table tennis...good breakfast.

Cons: Dogs barking all night long. The room is cold and the shower cabin was broken.

Pros: Great getaway, in the countryside, with a great (and warm!) pool, with the bonus of snooker and table tennis. Our room was a nice bungalow, which was clean and large, and very comfy all around. The owner was very friendly, and the breakfast was very, very good - one of the best.

Cons: The only thing we didn't like was the shower, which had a semi see-through door (which is a bit strange, when travelling with a friend).

Pros: Quiet country location,easy access to Lisbon(1hour),great local restaurant (Miguel andEstalla). Pool is a nice bonus. Nice breakfast.

Cons: Spa and sauna a bit steep.

Pros: We loved the location, the covered heated pool, the game room, the scrambled eggs for breakfast, the attention we got from the staff, Laurinda and Eugenia were very nice and helpful to us. Also Antonia, the little dog that goes around the property spreading her charme around everyone...all and all it was a lovely experience.

Pros: the only reason i give lower rating to the swimming pool, was because of the weather time with a 2year old boy in january

Cons: Carriça - the donkey

Pros: Self catering apartment in rural style ( continental buffet style breakfast provided) everything you could want provided felt very at home. Lovely wetroom style bathroom. Will definitely try & return.

Cons: Wish our stay could have been longer.

Pros: The apartment was very confortable and the property was very well equipped and decorated with beautiful details. The swimming pool cover allowed enjoying it although it was windy and cold.

Pros: Such a surprise it was to have this property surpass our expectations! The lady taking care of the property (whose name I unfortunately forgot) makes you feel at home as if it were hers and has one of the warmest and kindest hearts we’ve ever encountered. We stayed only one night (unforeseen events forced us to stay in the area) and cannot wait to be back for more days to zen out and tell everyone we know about this treasure.

Pros: Very good room, excellent location for some truly relaxing days. Personnel very nice and helpful. Tasty breakfast.

Pros: The location is beautifull, hills full of orchards, woods, and small villages. Plenty of wildlife. 10 minutes away from cities such as Caldas da Reina, Obidos, and close to the beaches. The accomodation is super comfortable, nice breakfast, and the staff do everything to make one feel at home.

Cons: Not Applicable

Cons: The hotel is marvelously appointed with antique furniture and artifacts while the rooms retain all conveniences of modern times. Beautiful and cosy courtyard, and best of all you are right inside the medieval fortress of Obidos. The staff are very friendly and helpful and made sure that our stay was absolutely perfect.

Pros: Excellent location, friendly staff and loved the beautiful Portuguese decor-great value and lovely, charming hotel.

Pros: Great location within fortress walls at the base of the castle. Friendly and helpful staff, double bed room was very comfortable. Very quaint place to stay with antique furnishings. Highly recommend a stay here.

Pros: The Hotel is near the castle, it is a beautiful house and a lot of tourists were taking pictures in front of it. The breakfast was great!

Cons: Everything was good!

Pros: Great quiet location in the village center.

Pros: The location inside the walls.

Cons: The hotel and parking was difficult to find. The parking was not very close. The hotel was dated and tired. The room smelt musty and you could smell sewerage outside the room.

Pros: Clean room. Good wireless. Excellent location.

Cons: Breakfast could be improved. . Bread and pastries not over fresh and breakfast room overcrowded with furniture.

Cons: Wish they had a hairdryer!

Pros: Wonderful one night stay over Easter weekend. Was able to watch the yearly evening procession through the streets, passing right next to the hotel. Possibly one of the most photographed hotels in Obidos. Think most people do not even realize that it is a guest house when they take a picture

Cons: Breakfast room was very small and the seating area was extremely cramped.

Pros: Very beautiful house and rooms. Friendly staff. Fast communication.

Cons: The mattress could be more comfortable - but everything is authentic and very beautiful.

Pros: The location is set in beautiful gardens. The house is old but well presented.

Cons: If you will have trouble taking cases upstairs be warned there is no lift.

Pros: Huge rooms and bathroom. Character of the property was something we’ve never seen before, felt like a palace! Really clean. Friendly staff. Pool was lovely.

Cons: Not really a bad thing but be aware breakfast is a very communal experience. All guests sit round one big table and pass each other the jam!

Pros: Charming compound with pleasant gardens, clean pool, terrace with outdoor seating, views of the old walled fortress(which you can walk to), access to laundry. Inside, beds were only double size, not queen so a bit cramped. Kitchen had basic utensils for cooking, water pressure was good as was internet reception. Great for extended families, as plenty of space to spread out. Nice welcome spread and daily fresh bread delivery (breakfast served in main house only).

Cons: Beds, too small. Interior lighting was dim.

Pros: Lovely location away from the town

Cons: Facilities aged, breakfast poor compared with many others in Portugal. Having an early flight in the morning had to skip breakfast and staff had no way of preparing a picnic substitute.

Pros: The location was perfect as it was near Obidos castle walls and allowed the ease of parking our rental car. The location also allowed the perfect view of Obidos castle. The ambiance of the property was serene, quiet, and just beautiful. Perfect for a relaxing getaway. The welcome wine and pastries were a delightful touch. We enjoyed intimate daily breakfasts with other guests in the dining room.

Cons: The toilet required a couple of flushes for complete emptying. Wifi was also only accessible in common areas. Not a big deal as it it is an old building.

Pros: Very comfortable, quiet and great location.

Cons: N/A

Pros: WE took an uber here from Sintra. It seemed a bit distant from the village but a gorgeous 15 minute walk to castle walls through field of plum trees. We loved the pool and sitting out area. We especially liked the convivial breakfast arrangement where you sit at one long table and share stories. There are a couple of walkable and very nice restaurants close by. Would return. Obidos has a great bookstore in the church, and great local drink. Loved it.

Cons: I think lounge and reception area should be swapped over. Need somewhere to sit if it rained.

Pros: The location and size of the room.

Cons: Plumbing problems which existed in the room before our arrival. Solved on the second day!

Pros: Staff friendliness

Cons: Location

Pros: Great location, near the old town so you could walk from the property. They have a pool and it is also safe for the kids because there's a fence to the pool area as well as to the road. The room was comfortable, big bed, nice bathroom and everything was clean. The staff was very helpful and super friendly. Would go back again for sure!

Cons: Everything was great!

Pros: Large room. Great location. Very courteous staff. Gave us great recommendation for dinner at local non-touristy restaurant outside of the castle walls. Excellent breakfast!! We rented a car so parking essential. They had private parking area inside.

Cons: No internet signal in our room. Had to go to 24hr rec room. Bathroom was very tight.

Pros: Nice, fresh, cosy and close to the center. God breakfast.

Pros: The breakfast was rally good

Cons: The room are like bungalow and therefore quite humid and small- it was difficult to set the temperature for the night and we woke up few times because it was either too cold or too warm.

Pros: The people were very friendly and the breakfast was good.

Cons: The air conditioner did not work.

Pros: Great location - 9mins walk to the old town and very close to the supermarket. We were able to easily walk into town and even got a free ginja in a chocolate cup as we were staying at Pegada. They have free secure parking in the property. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size, clean, and the shower was big with good water pressure. The breakfast was great - fresh bread and croissants with cheese and meat, yoghurt, cake, juice and hot drinks. We would recommend!

Pros: It was a good location to explore Obidos as it was in walking distance of the centre. Staff member was most helpful and accommodating. Good access to outside seating area and pool.

Cons: Breakfast was good but limited.

Pros: Beautiful property. Easy walk into town.

Pros: Lovely breakfast, the air conditioning was great and heated up the room really quickly. It was clean and well decorated and I liked the communal room with the pool table and gifts and wines for sale.

Cons: I felt sorry for the three dogs being locked up all the time we were there. The property had a wall around it so I am not sure why the dogs couldn't be given more space to exercise. They barked during the night as well, probably desperate for attention.

Pros: Amazing location Great breakfast Exceptionally helpful staff

Cons: Small bedrooms

Pros: Lovely atmospheric hotel with friendly staff. Beautiful view. Nice bar.

Cons: Too hard to reach. Obidos is too crowded and felt like a tourist trap. The hotel smelled musty. The hotel should buy themselves a small motorized or electric luggage conveyance and the website should prominently display that they do NOT have parking on site. You must park in a public lot some distance and a steep incline away. The rooms are very small and there really isn’t that much to do in Obidos. In fact, if we weren’t so fit, we could have easily hurt ourselves lugging our bags up steep cobble stoned streets. I cannot recommend this place until they get some sort of shuttle. But they would still have unsafe parking.

Pros: The satff!

Cons: Small windows at the rooms - felt a bit too closed It was a challenge to get to your place with a car!

Pros: The buffet breakfast was wonderful. We ate dinner at the castle which outstanding! The accommodations and staff members were fantastic.

Cons: I cannot think of anything negative to say.

Pros: Panoramic view from the tower available only for visitors

Cons: Small room

Pros: Lovely chance to stay in a converted castle.

Cons: I had VERY high expectations for this place based on other reviews. We've stayed in other "castle" hotels in Germany and thus were very much looking forward to this visit. Unfortunately, our stay was just so-so. The castle is lovely, however, our room(s) were down a few flights of stairs into what felt like a converted dungeon. It was very dark and not "special" as I had hoped. There was a very musty smell to the room that we couldn't rid -- therefore we spent as little time as possible there. A bummer as there wasn't all that much to do in the city itself. Also, I booked close to a year in advance and has asked for two rooms near to each other as we're a family of 4 traveling. Unfortunately, our rooms were not on the same floor (not a huge deal, but disappointing never-the-less). We would have loved to have had dinner at the Pousada, but there was a wedding (no hard feelings :-)-- but I think the dining experience was something I would have enjoyed that we simply didn't have.

Pros: The view

Cons: The stairs, the restaurant

Pros: It’s a beautiful place, medieval castle and well preserved

Cons: Very difficult access by car and rooms very small, totally uncomfortable

Pros: Good dinner and comfortable room despite it being dark. Arrows would have had a difficult time getting through the little windows, but we don’t live in a time of arrows. Atmospheric.

Cons: Óbidos was fine in the evening but I wouldn’t go back. Way too full of tourist day trippers. Town is a little ruined by its tourist destination success.

Pros: Good location within the castle walls. Great views from the restaurant

Cons: The room we booked was one of the cheapest ones and on the bottom - no views, which is fine. But, everything was old and rusty. There was mold in the bathroom, and even floss left in one corner which indicates the room was not cleaned properly. There were stains on the duvet. So for a hotel that claims to be of such class this is unacceptable.

Pros: The medieval market! The friendly staff and the amazing breakfast

Cons: The door being locked and needing to talk to the receptionist to enter the room. Maybe a buzzer would be more convenient. But I’m so happy for safe security. The staff does a good job of that!

Pros: A nice hotel in a quiet street, a 10 minute walk from walled town of Obidos. Lovely garden terrace, swimming pool, secure free car parking and breakfast included, all at a great value price. Even get a welcome drink of local cherry liqueur. Very friendly and helpful staff. They don't do dinner but recommend a number of restaurants in Obidos. I chose one and it was excellent.

Cons: Minor gripe. Lots of dead bugs in the pool.

Pros: Good location comfortable rooms helpful staff

Cons: Nowhere to put our bikes inside overnight. (There were 8 of us and four other cyclists were already using the garage).

Pros: excellent location with good parking easy walking distance of the walled town . plenty to choose from at breakfast staff very helpful

Cons: nothing

Pros: Good hotel with exceptionally friendly personnel. Clean and spacious rooms and tasty breakfast. Highly recommended!

Pros: Location was very good with easy access to the city center

Cons: My room did not match the photos, but the room was an annex outside the property, I saw that the rooms that were inside the property were much better. Breakfast was very bad, I couldn't eat anything

Pros: The hotel is 5 minutes walking from the city gates. I reserved it for the Medieval Fair, so we walked to the festival and left the car in the hotel parking lot. Hotel has a good swimming pool and a nice garden were to relax until late. Breakfast is full of sweets, bacon and eggs. The hotel strong point, however, is the staff. Always accomodating, always available. Will come back here next year.

Pros: Well located. V helpful staff

Cons: A bit dour. Breakfast room very dark and miserable

Pros: Location is great, really just a short walk to the old city walls. Good breakfast. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. A good option for us, as we were traveling with car and the parking si free and on site.

Cons: The whole hotel is a bit dated, but has all facilities one wants. Some rooms are non-airconditioned which could be a problem in the summer. A bit awkward to find in and out.

Pros: Staff ,location and price

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Even though we mailed for a non gluten breakfast and mentioned it again when we arrived- there wasn't one in the morning. Not ok! The hotel is very old and smelly.

Pros: This is a charming book themed hotel and we loved its quirky vibe coupled with comfortable rooms in a historic building. We had a quick one night stay and enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful and I had the best gin & tonic from their gin bar. This isn't the sort if place that will appeal to everyone, our room was small and the carpet was worn and the hall smelled like old books. Personally, I love the smell of books but if you're looking for a modern luxury hotel this isn't for you. However, if you're a bookworm looking for a unique and charming place to stay this is a great option.

Pros: the hotel concept around books is very nice and duly developed. we did not eat at the restaurant, but had breakfast there. the cocktail bar is great, the service is hyper fast and they have live music often, really great. do not miss their gin collection

Cons: the breakfast was nothing special: eggs done only one way (scrambled), they do not have bacon, etc. the shower is quite old style and not very easy

Pros: Restaurant and bar in obidos.

Cons: The bathroom was dirty, the toilet was leaking. The bed was the most uncomfortable one I've ever slept in. Parking the car was no fun on a steep hill and very narrow street. Staff wasn't very helpful when asking what to see, just said that all the restaurants are closed... Which they weren't!!! Obidos itself would be pleseant if the people would take more care of it. The books in the hotel would be a nice concept if they would maintain them... They smell and there is no order how they stack them... All in all I wouldn't recommend going there... Not worth it!

Pros: Everything! Such a gorgeous hotel, very quirky decor. The staff were lovely. The room was very comfortable and the meal we had in the restaurant was great.

Cons: The WiFi wasn't great and there was no hot water in the shower

Pros: Absolutely nothing

Cons: Everything: staff courtesy, communication, attitude, presentation. The room was filthy and never completed mid renovation. The bed was as comfortable as a rock. The furniture was built from rough scrap timber. No lampshade. No kettle for tea or coffee. Breakfast not until 8am. No door handles. Millions of stairs. Rubbish books strewn around with no sense or reason or understanding of the written word. Simply THE WORST hotel we have ever stayed in for over 40 years! Tourist trap.

Pros: Great concept for book lovers: perfect hideaway. And generous breakfast as well.

Cons: Might be that bathroom doors are good idea?

Pros: Unique concept in an amazing setting. Great service and stuff

Pros: The location was perfect for us, situated a very short walk outside the city walls. We easily found a place to park our car on the streets near the hotel. The hotel is really quite wonderful. Our room was very comfortable and felt private. The huge assortment of books are a great decorative touch, particularly for bibliophiles. Our dinner was absolutely incredible, and the guitar player and large hearth added a lovely touch of romance to the beautiful dining area.

Cons: The staff seemed to be of a small number, with people doing multiple jobs. This wouldn't have been an issue, normally, but we tried to go to the gin bar on two separate occasions when it was supposedly open, but there wasn't anyone down there to help us.

Pros: The bookish decor was really unique, and the breakfast was bomb.

Pros: Very cute and full of character. Perfect location and very accommodating staff. We were cycling and needed our cycling clothes washed and they accommodated us even though it was past the timeframe to get them back next day. Great value for money

Pros: The actual space, rooms of the hotel are so unique and atmospheric. Helpful staff, excellent breakfast - great value for money.

Cons: Not an issue for us, but there is no wifi throughout the hotel, but you need to go to specific hot spots if you want to access the internet via the hotel free wifi.

Pros: beautiful location with nice view over the lagoon and Ocean

Cons: very basic hotel, explains the price

Pros: Hotel by the beautiful lagoon and ocean. You can park your can by the hotel for free. Overall impression is OK.

Cons: Lack of the electric outlets in the room. There were only two of them: for TV and fridge!

Pros: The location is just amazing The staff is extremely friendly and helpful overall a nice experience

Pros: Breathtaking view overlooking the lagoon. Pleasant, polite staff, very clean, plenty of space in bathroom? Confortable and quiet.

Cons: It's a pity that rooms do not have a socket to plug in the charger for a mobile phone.

Pros: The convenience for property dealings I required to make in the are. I have recently purchased a property near Obidos.

Cons: I booked an early call for the morning I was vacating the Hotel, I did not receive a call? I managed to get up in time, it may just that the receptionist ay have misunderstood my requirements?

Pros: I found the bed very comfortable, breakfast and dinner selection was great. Bread rolls and marmalade were excellent. The staff always friendly. Its in a great location and I would stay here again. I loved it even more as it was low season!

Cons: I would have liked it if the bathroom had lotion and hair conditioner and not just shampoo and shower gel! Because I was expecting it to have it, I didn't bring my own!

Pros: Excellent location, right on the beach, amazing walks, scenery is beautiful

Cons: Hotel was immaculate, friendly staff, good food.

Pros: Beautiful location. Very comfortable and friendly staff.

Pros: The place the sight !!

Cons: It was a little cold in the room

Pros: The comfort and how well the property was decorated and clean.

Cons: Nothing to point out.

Pros: The villa is modern and very classy. The bed is super comfortable and you can really relax and clear your mind while staying there (I guess that if you have a lot of neighbourhoods you won't have a lot of privacy, but that wasn't the case for us) The kitchen is fully furnished and you can cook everything you want (you have to bring your own groceries) The real problem is when you want to wash pans & pots, no detergent nor sponges The bathtub with hydromassage was a pleasant surprise but I guess that a 5 stars resort should provide more products and not only a small bottle of shampoo and shower gel. The pool was really close to us, but I guess that a bit more of maintenance is needed.

Cons: No detergent nor sponges to wash pots after cleaning (there's a dishwasher, but you can't put everything there) Just a small bottle of gel shower and a small one of shampoo. A 5 stars resort should provide more. The pool needs some works, it doesn't look very clean. The supermarket is way too expensive, but if you bring everything from home, no need to go there ;)

Pros: 1 bed apartment was huge and clean. Very good value for money

Cons: The service in the only restaurant was very poor, waitresses not coming to take my order for over 15 mins on a number of occasions. Over half of the menu was out of stock which for a 5 star resort was appalling. Shop on site wasn’t open either.

Pros: One of the best and unexpected places. Beautiful, green and calm

Pros: The house was beautiful and welcoming.

Cons: Dust over the furniture everywhere. Outdoor patio wasn't clean either. Old rugs on the floor. We asked for king size beds and were given single beds. Breakfast selection was poor and the breakfast room was so crowded we had to eat at the bar tables. Security guards at the entry are rude and confused. We were offered, as a welcome gift, half a liter of wine for 4 people.

Pros: The breakfast is good but it gets a little worse outside of weekends. Very quiet

Cons: The light isolation in the rooms it not great. The pool was not clean.

Pros: The confort, the silence, the space and the space outside.

Cons: Nothing to point at.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff, particularly when requiring assistance and facilitating a late check out at Reception and in the Clubhouse bar where we had a couple of very good evening meals. The villas were very spacious, cleaned every day, and in terrific condition

Cons: Nothing really

Pros: Facilities and comfort are really great Nice garden view

Cons: Staff and neighbours Staff not friendly at all And neighbors who own their own houses , cause the resort have rent and bought houses next to each other And that owners they think the have more rights than us we pay also and are really rude strict and not polite at all They even threatened us imagine...

Pros: Amazing breakfast, friendly staff, comfortable rooms

Cons: Too many flies.

Pros: Had a excellent time at hotel, but there was a lots of flys in the room at night which disturb our sleep☹️Overall all was excellent including breakfast

Pros: It's comfortable, friendly staff and offers good facilities. 2 pools, and wellness.

Cons: Nice and modern looking hotel. A few minor details here and there show that age is taking it's toll on the rooms.

Pros: Good WiFi-connectivity, very good breakfast, friendly hotel stuff.

Cons: Outdoor pool was not appealing, the room looks run down (traces of a water damage on the wall, mold on the wall, curtains dirty), lot of flies in the room on arrival.

Pros: Clean comfortable rooms

Pros: The staff is extraordinary, always helpful! The location is great, with a clear view of the Óbidos castle. Totally recommend for a couple on a weekend getaway!

Cons: Small room. Small shower with glass wall to the room. Cheap furniturr

Pros: Good location close to the Castle. Good buffet breakfast and good Spa. Welcoming and helpful staff.

Cons: Hammam room was broken. No hair dryer in the bedroom.

Pros: This is always a nice hotel to stay at as it is easy access for people who have mobility issues. We had dinner there and the food was not fancy but good quality, which was perfect. On check out we asked to buy tickets for a local festival and were given day passes to the festival in Obidos which was a truly pleasant surprise. Room was quiet and comfortable.

Cons: nothing to say

Pros: Nice stuff, very good location

Cons: Bedbugs in the room! Be careful if you’ve got an allergie.. It was so stuffy in here, very loud air conditioner.

Pros: The hotel has a good location, right in the middle of this historical place.

Cons: The bed was not quite comfortable and the AC did not work; luckily it was not too hot the day we stayed there.

Pros: Nice place in the center of the castle

Cons: Very low wi-fi signal in the room, very difficult to park the car

Pros: Everything was just perfect except for...

Cons: Breakfast (poor choice + ubiquitous flies)

Pros: Good breakfast! The kitchen worker was very helpful. Before breakfast, I needed a bottle opener, so I pantomimed because I didn't speak Portuguese and he didn't speak English--he opened the bottle AND gave me a glass!

Cons: There was a portable floor model air-conditioning unit in our room, which we used at night. In the morning, there was a stream of water running through the room from the A/C unit, which soaked my son's bags and shoes.

Pros: Amazing location

Cons: Breakfast was disappointing

Pros: Rooms are big, comfy bed and airy and the bathroom is okay.

Cons: Hotel is a bit run down, staff not very helpful and my bathroom was not very clean.

Pros: Reasonable location to visit Obidos, but....

Cons: No access by car, need to walk 500m on vintage cobblestones with the luggage. Unfriendly and un-helpful staff. Arrived at 3:00pm at the same time as another couple. A lady standing outside the entrance asked what we wanted. When we said we had a reservation, she (aggressively) said no check-in before three thirty. The four of us sat in the heat on a tiny bench in the small entrance while she stood at the door. At 3:30 she finally sat down at the desk and checked us in. Note that the rooms were ready. The room and the bathroom were tiny, the AC was an antique portable (single) unit which in addition to being very noisy was rattling loudly (loose plastic parts), making sleep impossible.It was ineffective in beating the August heat. We had to switch it off during the night. The windows with very old wooden frames were single glazing. The floor of the room was 3 feet below street level. Breakfast was basic.

Pros: Great location very easy check-in

Cons: Parking was not on site

Pros: Very nice small hotel right in the heart of the historic walled town of Óbidos. The bedroom was large and had a very nice feel to it - with exposed timber beams and old style warm lamps. The breakfast had a good selection to choose from and was served at a sensible time. The staff were friendly and helpful and reception had long opening hours.

Cons: Our SatNav struggled to direct us to the hotel as it is within the city walls. The best solution was to park outside the city walls and walk in which wasn't far at all.

Pros: Liked everything, nice place, clean rooms.

Cons: Everything was fine.

Pros: The bathroom was very clean, the bed were comfortable and it had air conditioning. The staff was helpful and pleasent.

Cons: It didn't have enough plugs to charge or phones. Just on in the bathroom and the other far from the bed.

Pros: Newly decorated with nice style.

Cons: The bed covering and linen needed to be updated with a bit more style. No Parking.

Pros: The location was great. At the centre of Caldas. Shops and eating places within walking distance. The room was clean.

Cons: It would have been helpful to have a kettle in the room. The scrambled eggs were overcooked. The room was very damp.

Pros: Location

Cons: Car parking

Pros: The rooms are very clean and relatively modern and the hotel is really in the centre of the town. The room with 3 beds was big. Easy parking not far from the hotel.

Cons: No heating in the bathroom and when we arrived (after 10 p.m.) the window in our room was open. Not recommended for stays longer than 1 night in the winter (our towels were clean but wet because of the humidity). Coffee machine for breakfast is not good but it is possible to have a nice Portuguese breakfast close to the hotel.

Pros: Loction

Cons: Uncomfortable bedding

Pros: The reception staff was kind and helpful.

Cons: The cleanliness of the room and bedding. The breakfast was poor. Noise from the adjacent room.

Pros: We like the cleanliness

Cons: Too much noise inside the hotel. The clean staff do not care when we put outside the door the DO NOT DISTURB sign. Also they were very noise speaking loudly in the coridors.

Pros: Great value. Extremely pleasant, helpful staff.

Cons: Scratchy towels.

Pros: Location

Cons: Stuffy smell of the room. Old uncomfortable bed.

Pros: The location is very nice and near restaurants, cafes and shops. Staff are polite and respectful. The rooms are outdated but clean and neat. The elevator is old and make loud noise. The internet is slow and needs the password every 5 min. Thank you for your hospitality.

Cons: Please see above.

Pros: Location

Pros: The Breakfast was very good. The room was very clean and the staff were all friendly. .

Cons: The bathroom was tiny and you had to shimmy round. Also the free parking is only guaranteed between 8pm and 9am. we were being picked up and needed to find an alternative parking space for the daytime. We managed to do this but it is not always going to be possible to find a space close to the hotel.

Pros: The hotel sits right in the center of town - door to door with the Employment Center. It´s clearly not a new hotel, the door, equipment, decoration, bathroom, shower and furniture are not modern and sleek. But, perfectly suitable for me. The mattress could have been a bit more comfortable. The room, bathroom and linen were super clean. The people at the reception were not particularly friendly (especially by Portuguese standards) - but were also not rude. But, the breakfast was absolutely amazing and far exceeded my expectations. Truly remarkable. The gentleman in the breakfast room was extremely courteous and professional. A super value for the money - I only paid 29€ (just the breakfast is, by comparison with other experiences, is worth around 10€). Certainly recommend.

Cons: The mattress could´ve been a bit more comfortable.

Pros: Good location, the staff was welcoming.

Cons: The room was not ventilated

Pros: very good

Cons: bedding...not comfortable for a good night sleep...the bed sqeeked...single beds are out!
