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.
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.

Breakfast was nice.
Cooling option was not available in our room. We were told AC availability was floor by floor rather than room by room. Felt like we were being put off.
Privacy in bathroom is not good. Would not recommend to people traveling with friends.
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!
Amazing! Great location, excellent food and service! If you're looking for somewhere quiet, but not too far from the main attractions then this is perfect!
Great location near trams and buses. Adequate yet confusing breakfast. Limited staffing for the restaurant but a couple of good alternatives nearby. We did have a river view, however the window was small and high. The room could benefit my hanging a bar table and chairs. No Kleenex to be had for n the room. A pet peeve of mine.
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.
