Charming property in a physical sense. Staff was aloof and almost surely upon arrival. No notice that restaurant is fully booked before our arrival. Luckily, wonderful restaurant across the street, we squeezed in there. No staff present at breakfast to assist at all. Again, charming place, but poorly staffed.

Cute and quaint old school feel. Great if you love old books and reading in libraries. Bedding was lacking in pillows. Other than a tiny fridge, no other room amenities like coffee/tea or complimentary water. I also had to request my VIP perk of 1 bottle of wine as it was not offered it to me upon checkin. Overall, you get what you pay for staying in a book-themed auberge in a very touristy old-world town like Obidos.

We loved the Literary Man!! The ambiance and style was amazing. It is a book lovers dream! The bar was fantastic. The staff from the bartenders to the girls at front desk were very kind and accommodating. They allowed us late check out which I appreciated. The suite was huge and beautiful. The only reason its 4 stars instead of 5 was because the bed, bedding and pillows were not comfortable at all. If they can just fix that issue, the hotel would be PERFECT!! Even with the beds, i would recommend this place to anyone coming to Obidos and id definitely stay again! Its right (a few steps) out side of the castle walls. Also the included breakfast buffet was delicious!!

Unique twist of having books everywhere. Not a library but collection of common books mostly in English.

Great Hotel! There is really not a lot of things to do in Obidos other than seeing the castle, but if you are thinking of staying in Obidos, I highly recommend this hotel. The vibe is so serene. We got a free bottle of wine as our VIP perk and we were able to enjoy it while reading some books in their courtyard - i wished that space would have been bigger but its still great. the free breakfast is amazing. Nothing like the ones in north america. We really enjoyed our relaxing stay in this hotel!

Very interesting property with serious number of mainly paperbacks lining the walls. Lovely dining room with subdued lighting and many bookcases again. Had a great meal, good local wine. It is just near the gate through the walls into Obidos, thus is ideally situated for an evening stroll around the walls and along the main street. Absolutely lovely town, Well worth a visit.

This hotel is literally steps from the Moorish castle walls! The town is charming and very photogenic. The hotel was full of history! The bed was very comfortable, and the staff were pleasant.

In the Obidos old town, next to the wall. 70,000 books. Books are everywhere. Breakfast is fabulous. Few min walking to the attractions. Water is not hot enough for shower.
