Our room was a river facing room. The hotel had unique artwork everywhere and an offered a great breakfast. Our room was spacious, the staff was lovely and helpful. About 15 minute walk into the thick of the city.
Jessica, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was pretty nice, the manager was questionable, and the location around the property was good because it was close to the city center, walking distance from the city center and near everything you needed.

Amazing

Porto was a brief stop on my way to walk the Camino. Vila Gale was a wonderful and unique hotel. The room was comfy and modern at the same time. The rooms are also themed which add an additional dimension. The staff very friendly and breakfast was utterly delicious!

The Douro River

This hotel was nicely located by the river, not too far from downtown and the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food options were fresh and well prepared. The morning breakfast buffet was excellent! The room was very basic with few amenities but it was clean and the beds were comfortable.

Foram dias ótimos! Funcionários, hotel, alimentação tudo perfeito! Ainda tivemos uma surpresa pelo aniversário da minha mãe! Enviaram no nosso quarto uma fatia deliciosa de bolo e um espumante! Que gentileza!!!! Obrigada Vila Galé! Tornaram nossos dos mais especiais!
Catia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the location; beautiful out of the way street away from the crowds. Local restaurants in the neighborhood are quite good as well. Room was a bit dated not sure it commanded the price. Loved all the art; breakfast was a wonderful addition.
Kelley, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The tram into Porto ran right in front of the hotel. Not much action at the hotel itself but some options adjacent to it.
Anthony, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were excellent and friendly. We liked the small buffet breakfast in the morning before tours. Rooms were very clean and made up each day. Trams and buses are right across from hotel. I had small issue with hot/cold water in shower which staff noted and said they would address. I would stay again.
Michael, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rooms were nice and staff was nice but carpet in the hallways was very dirty and stained, and smelled bad.

10/10 Exceptional

Very good hotel , good location.

Had a 3 night stay here. Excellent staff and rooms. Very good eco friendly policies in place. Room was clean and comfortable , breakfast also very good - both hot and cold options. Location abot 10 mins walk to Ribeira which suited us and meant hotel was quiet at night. Several very good restaurants literally on the doorstep if you dont want to go too far at night. Would very much recommend and would definitely stay here again if back in Porto. Thanks to allthe staff who made our stay perfect.
James, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Absolutely nothing wrong with the hotel, good value and helpful, staff were quiet good, in fact. Food was very average and the area a bit suspect. I was told not to leave anything valuable in the car which was left out the hotel overnight. The rating would be higher if I had not been there with a car.
