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.

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.

The only minor point was to have a room that was not updated to the new design, for the rest, it was perfect.

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!
