Room needs repairs, avoid rooms near lift.
Noise from lifts kept me awake until late then woke me early in the morning. The sink had a crack in it, the shower went hot and cold, and the grout on the tiles was black in places. However, the hotel has a nice gym and swimming pool with great views. The breakfast was good also. It's a shame the room I stayed in was not better.

Needs updating
Stayed for a night. Location is good, near sta catarina shopping street and supermarket. The hotel is old, it has seen better days. Carpets, elevator, room furnishings are old and look worn out. Not a lot of bathroom amenities. Good breakfast but breakfast room also needs an update

Porto Accommodation
We stayed at the Vila Gale for two nights, at the end of a nine day tour of Portugal. It was a lovely hotel: the service was efficient and friendly. We were given a junior suite. it was a 30 minute walk for us to the river or the city centre (probably less for a younger couple). But near the metro if we had chosen to use it. And there were also plenty of buses. We ate at the restaurant one night and the food was excellent. However I would have liked to be seated apart from coach load of tourists who were having the buffet; quite noisy. I would be happy to stay there again.
