Pousada do Castelo de Óbidos

I stayed here one night with my wife on our honeymoon and we were impressed with how friendly the staff were, from leaving a bottle of sparkling wine in our room to offering to take our luggage to the parking lot. The views from the hotel’s castle walls are UNMATCHED and definitely better than the rest of the areas open to the public. The rooms are clean, spacious, and the air conditioning was excellent. I’d say the food is pretty traditional, old school, but still tasty and fits the castle ambiance. The breakfast buffet was very extensive. This is a must-stay in Óbidos if you have the budget. Cheers!

Dining inside a castle already feels magical, but Juliana made the evening truly unforgettable. Her service was attentive, kind, and full of genuine warmth. The ambiance—historic stone walls, romantic atmosphere, and a sense of history all around—set the stage for a beautiful meal. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish perfectly prepared and presented. Thank you, Juliana, for elevating our night in such a special place!

We visited Óbidos during the annual medieval fair, and stayed at the Pousada for convenience. What a unique experience indeed. Rooms are small but have all the modern amenities. Service staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is decent. Price is on the high side, but worth it for a memorable stay.

Location is absolutely beautiful. However the hotel itself was not what one would expect for >200€/night for a standard room. Rooms were pretty old, ours didn’t even have a shower (only bathtub), no gym, spa or any amenity you might expect.

I stayed here for two nights in April and had a truly wonderful experience. The room was spacious and very clean, and the meals were absolutely delicious. During my stay, there was a large power outage across Portugal, but the hotel and my room stayed fully powered the whole time, which made the stay really comfortable. While I was walking up the hill with my suitcase, a staff member happened to notice me and kindly helped carry my luggage. That moment left a deep impression on me. The next day, my train to the next destination was suddenly canceled, and I wasn’t sure what to do. Thanks to the staff’s kindness in suggesting an alternative bus route, I was able to continue my journey safely. Since I’m not very confident in English, I was especially touched by the staff’s kindness and patience. I’m truly grateful for their warm hospitality—it was more than just a pleasant stay. It was a stay wrapped in genuine human kindness.

Lovely location with outstanding views!! To have breakfast in a magnificent castle is quite a delight especially when the dining room is under Juliana’s watchful eye. What a lovely smile first thing in the morning before a climb around the castle grounds and town of Obidos

Juliana and Marlond served us very well. We enjoyed the atmosphere and setting at the Castelo for the evening. Ask for a table with the view, amazing

We stayed in this hotel one night in Fernando room.|Excellent experience. Nice stuff in the hotel and in the restaurant. We parked near the town wall, and they sent stuff to pick up our luggage and bring it to the room. We also had very nice dinner in the castell restaurant. |Room was very clean; all amenities were good. Breakfast was excellent.|Of course, this was on expensive side but was worth every penny.
