Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Boavista Guest House offers spacious rooms, some mentioning balconies, and provides convenient access to the city, with the Carolina Michaelis metro station nearby. The breakfast is often highlighted for its variety and freshly squeezed orange juice, though some found the room size or bathroom a bit small. Guests appreciated the complimentary port wine upon arrival. It is also a great value for money with restaurants close by.
