    The bed was very squeaky and hard.

    The location is really good and the communication with Raquel was really easy.

    A bit far from downtown Lisbon. The park and the coffee shops nearby were nice.

    Raquel was awesome. The place was nice. The view was great while walking down the street. The breakfast was nice, there were a lot of options.

    The room was big which was serviced everyday and we had a little balcony which allowed us to see Marques De Pombal square. Walking distance to train station, car hire and botanical gardens. Raquel is an amazing manager of Magnolia, offering ideas of places to see, restaurants and Pastéis de Nata shops 🙂 The breakfast she puts out has everything one needs to start the day right! Exceptional place to stay thank you 🙏🏼

    I think it was little bit outside city centre location. But at the door step there is a bus stop where you can take it to reach the city centre.

    I would say the stay was very nice with comfortable bed and the breakfast was also good which had coffee, bread, yogurt, cakes, butter, eggs and thanks to raquel for making our checkin smooth on the first day. The place was very cleaned and even the bathroom was well maintained.

    It was a little loudly at the morning and evening because people were closing the doors not properly but it was not that problematic, just something to mention.

    I like the atmosphere. The breakfast was decent and the host unbelievable friendly.

    Having to share bathroom. As an elderly person, i think there should be a facility for a private bathroom. Having to get up during the night to go over to the bathroom was not really ideal for me. Also, it would have been nice to have access to kettle for hot drinks.

    The professionalism of the staff, who coordinated the entire communication process. Profound details as to operational service at the guest house and intensive list of places to eat and interesting places to visit. The location was absolutely perfect, a 10- 15 minutes bus drive away from the centre city. 👌

    Instructions to access the guesthouse were a little complex but well explained and the owner responded quickly to questions. I had a problem entering at night, so rang and they were very helpful and sorted me out. Comfortable and pleasant room. There was road noise but it was fine. The shared bathroom was small but clean and had everything needed. Breakfast had a range of help yourself selections- and a lady organising breakfast was present, a good start to the day.

    The automatic light at the top of the steps before you enter Magnolia Guesthouse doesn’t come on until you are up there so it’s a little dark trying to navigate it.

    Very spacious room with a private bathroom. Everything was very clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot! Breakfast was also plentiful and very tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful with many good recommendations for restaurants and navigating the city. We had a great stay.

    Bed was a little bit hard for my liking. Windows looking toward a street (all rooms are on the first floor)-but it was not very loud.

    Clean bathroom, not crowded. Nice breakfast (bread,cheese,joughurt, some fruit,...) very nice staff. About 7 min walk to the metro station (downhill, be aware of the steep hill to the guesthouse).

    This is not an issue for me but important for people who are sensitive to sounds - the rooms are not particularly soundproof, they are also by the side of a large road so expect noise when you have the windows open

    My second stay at Magnolia - and would definitely come back for a third time! Nice cosy rooms, excellent breakfast with homemade foods. Welcoming host and easy check-in & check-out. Good location with bus stops directly in front of the house and metro stop nearby. Grocery stores & shopping center at walking distance.

    Only downside to this stay was no tea facilities in the room, only water which I missed after a long day exploring. But that’s probably because I’m British!

    Raquel was so lovely! She was so friendly and accommodating, great host! I felt very safe in the accommodation, travelling alone with a toddler. Property was clean, breakfast was substantial for us and entry was really easy.

    The only minor improvement i will suggest is to switch to a better quality (and thicker) mattress on room 2, other tan than i have zero complaints.

    Raquel was an incredible, very attentive to detail. The location is great, with a few restaurants nearby. Breakfast was good and the room and bathroom were very tidy and clean!
