Lock in a great price for Vila Gale Coimbra – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

Staff is nice, the hotel is huge and really comfortable and we could park inside. It's a 20 min walk to the city center.

Carmen, Spain

Good breakfast, clean rooms, outdoor and indoor pools.

Da tranquilidade, da piscina exterior e do bar da piscina

Excellent value for money, I expected much less for the price. The location was walking distance to the university, library and palace through city centre then uphill through maze of cobbled streets, but there are also buses etc. Food and wine were very good, facilities were also good. We arrived 2 hours early and our room was ready. Staff organised taxi and helped with directions. The view directly in front of us was a construction site however we could see the beautiful view of the old city from our balcony also. Walked up to university and palace and found plenty of cafes and went to a Fada performance.

Allison, Australia

Very nice hotel, clean and well appointed, great breakfast selection. Good bar although didn't open very late.

Will, United Kingdom

Vila Gale - a hotel chain I'd gladly recommend! We were a party of 5 (2 ad, 3 kids) in a family room. We booked a family room but it was more like a suite! The suite was spacious, the beds ultra comfortable. Flat screen TV in both areas of the suite and quiet air con! The best customer service around! From reception to bar staff and cleaners, they were all great and made our stay very pleasant. Fabulous breakfast and tremendous variety on offer. The bar and poolside staff couldn't be more helpful and accommodating. We received a voucher for a local place of interest and great tips from staff of what to do and where to go. We stayed in Vila Gale Evora last year, which is why we chose the same hotel group this year - consistency of service was expected and exceeded. Our compliments to the hotel chain. We'll choose another Vila Gale Hotel for next summer too.

Carl, Ireland

Comfortable room and a nice view over the river. Perfect position entering the town and close to the old city centre and train station

Luis, Germany

The view from our room. The pool and the spa were a bonus. The large newly renovated bathroom.

Anonymous, Canada

The staff were very helpful. I liked the green-but-ripe pears delivered daily to the room

Maurice, Australia

If you're travelling to Coimbra by car, this is the ideal hotel to stay: as you reach Coimbra, after exiting the A1 Highway, the hotel will be directly on your right.

Disappointing
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Superior Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The common areas are big but not attractive. The Hotel decoration is sad. Pool area is monochromatic Grey! Our room was very small with old towels and uncomfortable pillows. Breakfast was ok, but poor comparing to other Portuguese hotels of the same category where in general breakfast is very good.
눇The nice welcome with a basket of fruit and a bottle of water. Live music in the restaurant.

“Great Expections - Exceeded!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Family Suite (2 Adults + 2 Children)
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The only element I would fault is they didn't seem to have a service elevator. So when large tour groups arrived all their bags went into one or both of the elevators for check-in and check-out. The elevators were full floor to ceiling. Does not seem too bad until you think of the time it took to fill and unload the elevators during which time no one else could use them. Not great at busy times when all customers are trying to use the same facilities for the same purpose (check-in, breakfast, check-out). I could have marked them down on facilities only because of this issue - overall a minor inconvenience and they deserve excellent. I marked them down in VfM as we might have stayed longer (week instead of 2 days) if there was an incentive.
눇Vila Gale - a hotel chain I'd gladly recommend! We were a party of 5 (2 ad, 3 kids) in a family room. We booked a family room but it was more like a suite! The suite was spacious, the beds ultra comfortable. Flat screen TV in both areas of the suite and quiet air con! The best customer service around!

We'll choose another Vila Gale Hotel for next summer too.
