Pousada Vila Óbidos

This was a very nice and roomy hotel. Very close to everything. What you should know: there is no parking inside the wall, but there is a large gravel parking lot just a few blocks away behind the Luciano cafe - easy walk and free parking. No coffee in this hotel but they offered tea. Coffee was available at local cafes for around 2€ each. Everyone is very friendly!

Amazing location! All the places are within walking distance. Nice clean rooms, tons of restaurants in surrounding. Even if you come by public transport, the buss station is right near the hotel. Staff is very friendly and kind.

We were notified well in advance (luckily) that the villa was accessible via cobblestones & to bring as little baggage as possible. We bought backpacks but still had difficulty with a clumsy fall by myself due to the heavy crowds of the medieval festival. Once we arrived at the villa we were relaxed. We had to call for a receptionist as I was unwell. Check in was easy & the room was really clean & very cute. Beautiful linens, lovely views through the windows & nice to be a few lanes away from the chaos of the main drag. There was no breakfast available which was disappointing & we were unable to locate any within the walls so we left & obtained it at our next stop Porto. The Villa offered everything it promised & we had a great sleep on very comfortable beds.

Great location inside the walls of the town. The hotel was impeccable. The room was outstanding. The bed was wonderful. The sheets and room smelled delightful. I thought I died and went to heaven. I don’t know what detergent or air freshener the hotel uses, but wow! I didn’t want to leave. The lady and gentleman who helped me check in were fantastic. They were warm, helpful and welcoming. The gentleman came and found me in the village as I initially had trouble locating the hotel. Exceptional experience.

This was a very lovely stay in a well loved Pousada. I have almost finished staying and all the Pousadas and this one was very nice. Breakfast is no longer included, and requires a €20 per person charge, and in the off-season at least, (I think) is held is the Castelo Pousada, a bit of a hike away, as is the Dinner (for sure). As we are staying next night at the Castle, we did not choose to pay for breakfast, so It would have been nice to have any coffee available in the morning, but we could not get the lobby coffee machine to work and no one around to assist. There were neither coffee facilities in the room. It is a very quiet time of year, so no worries, we found a lovely local cafe. Also, as mentioned, dinner is only offered at the Castle Pousada, and could not be billed to the room which was unfortunate for an Pestana Club Honors member, who gets points for such expenditures. The only additions I would love to see are robes, slippers, and body lotion, as well as coffee of course :-) The reception opens at 2pm and Adriana was very nice and professional. The place is quaint, lovely beds and linens, and the room was very comfortable. It is located in a very convenient location within town. I would love to stay here again!

Not recommended to go by car . The city is small and the place is located inside the walls which is cars are not allowed except the residents. Rooms are small.

There are positives and negatives to staying at the Pousada Vila Obidos. To their credit, this is a very nice micro-hotel that is situated in an unusual place - Obidos. It is virtually in the shadow of a castle and the old world flair of this town makes it very special. The hotel itself is pretty and nicely appointed. Breakfast is the highlight of this hotel. || Now for the not so good... The hotel is not accessible by car so you need to be aware that you will have to carry all your baggage up a pretty steep cobblestone path and several steps to the front door. We did not know this until it was nearly too late to make other arrangements / cancel. We did receive an email during our travels with a "warning" but it seemed too late. We arrived during a rain storm, so the cobblestones were quite wet and slippery. The room was not completely clean with a used bottle left behind. Also, there is a cat (or cats) on the property that followed us everywhere. My husband is extremely allergic. Had we known there was a CAT on the property, at the breakfast area, and allowed to jump on the chairs and tables in the dining room we would never have booked here. Sorry, we were disappointed and itchy.

My daughter and I stayed two nights. Everything about this hotel was wonderful, once you figure out how to find it. The check-in process was easy and the staff gave us great tips on evening activities and restaurants. We happened to be staying there Good Friday and had no idea that the impressive procession would pass just at our room window, both at the start and at the finish. It was a highlight! The room was very clean, the beds very comfortable and the bathroom very efficient. The daily breakfast was outstanding, with anything you can imagine included. The town itself isn’t that big; one street is rather the busy shopping street, the other a restaurant street. I didn’t even try to walk the castle wall; it looked very intimidating! We strolled the one street of busy shops one day. There is some beautiful pottery to tempt you. The second day we took a midday venture to the Bacalhoa Buddha Eden in Bombarral, a very large and very impressive gardens, sculptures, landscaping and waterfalls. Obidos is a wonderful getaway town!
