    I would like the bed to be changed at least once every 3 days no hair dryer there is a railway nearby, it didn’t bother us much, but it’s not suitable for people with sensitive sleep poor sound insulation, we heard every step of the neighbor behind the wall

    Thank you so much for your hospitality, special thanks to Nelly! The kitchen has all the necessary utensils and appliances close to the beach, close to Lisbon clean, thoughtful, caring about guests! We had a flight in the evening and since no one was checking in that day, we were allowed to leave our things, take a shower, use the kitchen, and were treated to cake and coffee :) there is an opportunity to communicate in the kitchen with people from different countries (from other rooms)

    A shame to leave!

    Bonvalot Guest House is as good as it gets. Firstly, the friendliness of the staff makes it feel like you are staying at home and you feel extremely welcome into the property. The house is very beautiful, modern but classical with style and just a short stroll to Praia Paco de Arcos, or Parque Das Poetas. I loved my time here so much I stayed here twice!

    Good value for Lisbon and comfortable place to stay.

    The only real downside for some is that the railway line for trains running between Cais do Sodre in Lisbon along the coast to Cascais, are noisy. This didn't bother us too much and they stop running at night (until 1 am perhaps - I didnt check) The upside is that the station at Paco de Arcos, is just a few minutes walk away. Very easy therefore to visit all the little places and beaches along the coast.

    The guest house is well organised. Colour coded doors to bedrooms and likewise, storage boxes in the fridges and cupboards. I do not believe it was occupied to full capacity, but kitchen facilities and equipment were very good. We didn't do any cooking, just toast in the mornings. It's all there if you like to cook. The lady who welcomed us (Neli, I think her name is) was very pleasant and helpful. Always eager to ask if we had everything we needed. Rooms were cleaned and towels changed every two days.

    It's a great place to stay also for long period. It is like at home but more because the interior architecture is on the 'next' level. Not the usual modern style but a refined taste. The staff is really more than special: superb! Position is perfect for the beach and the train station to Lisbon/Cascais is just closed in 5 minutes walking.

    Modern and freshly renovated interior, super clean all of the time. The staff are very welcoming and supportive. I also liked the community feel you can get from the common spaces and the spacious and well lit rooms. Having the balcony as a place to relax and enjoy the sun was also great. Overall if you need a place to stay in the area I highly recommend it!

    The house, and my room with a private bath, exceeded my expectations. The whole property is meticulously cared for by Naylia, who is warm and welcoming and very efficient. There is a nice grass courtyard with a raised patio with seating and a well-equipped kitchen. The location was excellent, also - just a 5 to 10 minute walk to metro, grocery, restaurants and beaches. I highly recommend this property and will stay there again if I have the opportunity.

    If you’re not into that kind of thing, some rooms are next to the train track. It goes until about 3 or 4 am. Thos didn’t put me off though!

    Very welcoming. The lady that looks after the property was extremely friendly and helpful. She keeps everything very clean. There are also many nice communal areas throughout the house. The location was great for us as it’s half way between Cascais and Lisbon with a train station 4 minutes walk away (we bought the navegante card and kept tipping it up, you can use this on trains, buses and the ferry if local) There is a decent enough beach 10 minutes walk away and many other beaches a walk or train ride away. If you want warmer waters go over to Costa da Caparica on the ferry. But plan the journey as it can be tricky to get back from. The room we were in (as well as the entire house) is very tastefully done. We found there was plenty of fridge space and a designated area in the e cupboard for each room. Also a well stocked kitchen. All other residents, at the time, were also lovely.

    As always, there are space for improvement in technical details, but those are discussed in person.

    I arrived easily, despite outside of check-in time due to delay, got good local information, too. Well-organized kitchen was a pleasant surprise.

    Very nice, cozy guesthouse situated in Paço de Arcos between Lisbon and Cascais, good starting point for excursions in both directions. The train station is very close, approx. 5 minutes walking distance. I also liked Paço de Arcos itself, there are few tourists and some cute cafés and nice restraurants in the center reflecting real portuguese lifestyle. I also appreciated the deco of the room, the comfortable bed, the big private bathroom and the well equipped kitchen. The garden and the terrace are amazing. The noice of the train did not disturb me personally (and I‘m pretty sensitive). Last but not least: the staff is sooooo lovely!!
