When we checked in we were told that the spa was included in the booking, but when we checked out we were told that the spa was not included and we were charged approx 30 Euros for use of the spa for 2 days. No where on the internet was it mentioned that the Spa was extra. When we queried this we were told that they will call the Police if we do not pay the bill. After a lot of arguments they decided to waive the fee. Beautiful hotel with lots of facilies. Good food and large rooms.

The fact that the cost to use the leisure facilities was 11 euro's each guest per day.....excessive to say the least !

I liked the location of the hotel. The friendliness of all the staff with whom I had dealings. All were extremely courteous. I will most certainly stay at the Vila Gale Porto on my next visit to the city. There was nothing that I did not Like about the Hotel except the hardness of the matresses on the beds. I would prefer a softer one. Other than this minor hiccup I could not fault the hotel at all. I thank you are all the staff for their professionalism, curtesy and friendliness.

Breakfast was pretty decent and the room size was great. Location was good too, as there is a subway station really close. In any case, it is also possible to walk to the city center. Nevertheless, the area around the hotel seemed a little dodgy, specially at night. I would not rate this hotel as a 4 star. In a 4 star hotel, I would expect to have a glass screen in the bath/shower, not a shower curtain, which is not only ugly, as extremely unhygienic. The room decoration is completely outdated and should be modernized for a 4 star hotel. Additionally, the chambermaid never changed our dirty glasses during the entire time we were hosted. Finally, pillows were a joke: old and terribly uncomfortable.

Nice and very friendly staff, clean and confortable room, good buffet breakfast, central location, good and reasonably priced car park, good swimming pool and spa on the top floor with great city view Park and spa/wimming pool are extras, which can be seen as a negative, but as they are reasonably priced I guess it makes more sense to have users paying than having more expensive rooms where non-users would be paying a bit for park and pool they don't need.

Great views of the city from our 17th floor room. This was a quiet place for sleeping purposes. There were lots of options here including the spa, massage treatments, the bar with a smoking lounge and restaurant were all worthwhile. The beds here were very hard. I would have liked to try the spa/swimming pool but everything came with a separate fee and so I thought it was a bit much. I had been led to believe it was included in our rate. Free wireless did not seem to be free and was not explained when we got there.

Swimming pool and In-t are not included in price. In swimming pool they demand to have cap but nobody noticed it. Info on reception is very poor and girls are not polite. Condition and safing box were broken and no reaction for request about repair. Good location near metro station, 10 min by foot to city center, new building - 19 floors with swimming pool on the 19th fl.

*Booked a Junior Suite which was spacious and comfortable. *Very bad food in the à la carte restaurant. *Everything has to be paid for. Internet at 2€ for 30 minutes isn't acceptible anymore these days, 10€ for a quick swim in the pool neither. I was, however, positively surprised that they didn't charge me for sneezing in the lobby...

Helpful staff who spoke English. Pool and spa very useful when traveling with a teenager. Breakfast covered all tastes. The choice of colour for the decor was an attempt at sophistication but the result was just gloomy! Didn't like the jump from the large scale black and white film star pictures to the pastel art in rooms and corridors.

Our few days were mainly for sightseeing and once we found I way around the hotel was not in a bad location, however I would not feel very safe wondering about the area at night but we used the local taxis which were a very good service and the metro during the day.

Petit déjeuner copieux, chambres propres, spacieuses et agréables, personnel aux petits soins. L'internet payant dans les chambres est clairement un gros point négatif. Il devrait être inclus dans le prix de la chambre.

O hotel foi indicado por amigos mas a localizacào nào ideal para turismo . o café da manhà era bom,Colchões desgastados, Wi-Fi caro,Staff no padrão regular, limipeza boa, hotel grande e mais voltado para confêrencias, cursos e executivos.do que para turismo.Garagem paga e restaurante caro também Como no Brasil a rede ,e bem vista imaginei ser uma pedida acertada mesmo estando um pouco longe do centro, mas notamos o hotel meio caído e tentando explorar o hospeenas coisas.

La piscina del hotel, el desayuno y la limpieza del hotel. El precio de la piscina (11 €) es elevado para los niños pequeños, que tienen que pagar igual que un adulto además de para el tiempo real de uso de la piscina ya que como máximo se esta 1 hora, más con niños.

El desayuno, buen buffet con variedad y buena organización por parte del personal. La situación está bien, hay una parada de metro y de autobús muy cerca del hotel y también para ir andando al centro. Las habitaciones están bien pero nos dieron una habitación para fumadores cuando habíamos reservado de no fumadores.No nos cambiaron de habitación a pesar del olor a tabaco porque estaban completos por la semana santa. El primer día nos cambiaron las toallas del baño a petición nuestra y el segundo día ni se molestaron en cambiarlas. En general mejoraría la limpieza de la habitación.
