Pousada Castelo De Óbidos - Historic Hotel

The atmosphere, the surroundings, the sense of history were amazing. The staff are really professional and customer service-oriented. They apologized profusely for the shower incident the next day. The restaurant is beautiful and the food there is great.

Our shower flooded the whole bathroom (the water didn't go down the plug, it just kept welling up)...had to use all the towels to mop up the water. I could've called reception but it was midnight and my partner was asleep. For the price you pay, things like these just shouldn't happen.

It was very tricky trying to find the Pousada Castelo de Obidos, we had to call for proper directions once we were in the walls of Obidos. So many people walking in the streets, so it is a challenge to drive, but we were fine because we are use to it. Unfortunately I am comparing it to other Pousadas and because this one is situated in an old castle and one of Portugal's Seven Wonders, it has that very old musty smell everywhere, but it was a very unique place with historic charm. The location is perfect to venture off to the Batalha Monastery, Tomar, Convento di Cristo, Fatima, Nazare, Mira de Aire Caves, Grutas da Moeda and Peniche. We stayed at the Pousada for two nights, and this was enough to see Obidos, but not enough to get around to all the other wonderful places I mentioned. The restaurant has charm, a little expensive and the food at dinner was ok for us, again comparing it to other restaurants all over Portugal. It has fantastic views of the Country side and very historic town but way too many tourists visit in the day, that looses it's charm in my opinion. There is not much to see in the castle just the hotel, the outside exterior is were the beauty is. Still worth a visit and stay for something unique. A special thank you to Fabio, he has exceptional customer service attributes.
