Vila Gale Porto Ribeira

On arrival reception was efficient and friendly, parking underground was easy to find and safe than leaving the car on the road with trams going past during the day with people hanging onto the sides. Our room was clean and had all we needed, although we had booked a food trip in town on the second day at 6pm but by 3pm our room hadn’t been cleaned. Breakfast was very good with plenty of variety. It was a fair distance into the town centre but once we found out about the 500 bus we used that several times, good value at €2.50 each.

The breakfast was good with a variety of items to choose from. The room was comfortable, and as we asked for a paid upgrade, we had a view of the river. The staff were helpful and the bar and setting area for a small hotel were inviting.

The location is great! Breakfast is really good and it is a lovely place to stay while in Porto.

The river view was great. Having said that, you couldn't really sit and see out the window because it was so high. It's in a quieter area of town along the river. The room size, for Europe, was good. The staff was great. The rooms all seemed to be named after artists (mine was Paul Cezanne) and there was beautiful artwork on the walls. They also serve their own wines which is a nice touch.

Good lift and stairs. Good food, morning and evening. Immediate access to tram and bus if required - can walk extensively if fit.
