Overall Ratings & Reviews The Literary Man

Staff is absolutely lovely

Such a quaint and unique hotel! The staff was incredibly welcoming. The atmosphere is a book lover’s dream! Would absolutely recommend if you’re staying in Obidos!

The hotel is charming and offers a very "home away from home" feel but all the staff are the real stars. Each and everyone are just naturally good natured and accommodating. Lydia always greeted me with a smile and made sure I had everything I needed. The bar and restaurant are not only convenient but also a very beautiful spot to enjoy your most wonderful, top notch meals!

A wonderful hotel, charming in every way and perfectly situated. Thank you. Family will be back

A good hotel very near to the historical area

Hotel is in need of an upgrade/renovation. Basic elements are missing like a kettle to boil water.

Great atmosphere, excellent breakfast, friendly staff.

Absolutely wonderful! Amazing place. Wonderful staff. Excellent food and beverage. Perfect location.

Loved this hotel. Right outside the city walls it was very convenient for parking (December) and to enter the old city. The hotel is old worldly, in a good way. The breakfast was fabulous. Lots of choice with much of it home made.

Such a fun, unique place

A unique experience with a welcoming and attentive staff.

Lovely setting.

The property has a great location and unique concept. Close to the castle and inside the medieval town. We had a major problem with service at night. The bar staff refused to serve us telling us they were out of "drinks". It was 9pm and we were asked to go somewhere else. When we returned 2 couples were enjoying white wine and a cocktail. This hotel is NOT inclusive choosing who they serve. We will not return nor will we recommend it as a result. The front desk staff and breakfast staff are amazing but the dinning room have an exclusive mentality. Disappointing

One of a kind. Loved it

Staff were friendly and the breakfast was amazing!

I loved that feeling of being transported to an old library of the past... Nothing compares to the smell and comfort physical books give you. And they were everywhere - even in the guest rooms. My only regret is not staying long enough to read a few of the books they had on display while cuddled in the gorgeous sofas in the common spaces. I also loved the comfortable minimalism of our suite, which had two full bathrooms (quite an unexpected perk).

Amazing hotel, great staff! Beatrice the manager is very very cool and helpful!

Great location the restaurant was excellent. However the hotel itself is looking dated also mildewing smell in the hallways think it was coming from the carpet

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.
