I stayed in this accommodation for my exhibition for three days. My experience was wonderful. It is a nice hotel, perfect for both leisure as well as business travelers. Rooms are very well designed, spacious and very clean. Washroom was big and functional. All meals were good and above all the guys working here, they are really nice people- Highly... More

I travelled to Porto with my father in October 2012 to watch a football match between Portugal and Northern Ireland (Northern Ireland pulled off a miraculous 1-1 draw). We picked this hotel mainly because of its location as it was close to the football stadium. We also wanted a hotel that had a swimming pool to keep us occupied during... More

For 75 euros a night, we were supposed to get a "superior" room with a queen bed. The room was dated and drab with TWO twin beds pushed together... not very romantic (and impossible to cuddle). Luckily, the staff in the hotel are very nice and on the second night they made the bed as a "French bed" with one... More

Came to Oporto with my partner for two days and stayed at this hotel. The hotel is nice and fancy and the facilities are very good. Wonderful view. The value for the money they ask (100 euro per night) does not make it a perfect stay when you have to pay for everything you use (gym, pool, towels, Internet). I... More

The Vila Galé in Porto is in a convenient location, with beautiful views from the room. It was probably a 15 minute walk down to the river. The beds and room were clean and comfortable. We stayed here for a conference, and our venue was very adequate and well-staffed with coffee, water, and snacks. The breakfast buffet was a feast.... More

This was my first time at this hotel. I liked some hotels on the south shore, in Vila Nova de Gaia, but the arrangements did not work out. I didn't care for some properties closer to the center. With more checking around, I found this hotel. And that fact that is on the metro between the center and the Campanha... More

Friendly service in a bit worn hotel. The rooms were of average size, with somewhat shabby furniture. For instance, the safe deposit box was broken (no lock). Cleaning could be improved as well. Beds were a bit hard for our taste. Breakfast buffet looked very good and had a large selection. However, both of us got stomach problems after eating... More
