Lovely staff made this hotel special
Travelled on 06/2025
This hotel is about 15-20min walk along the river so pleasantly away from the crowds. The hotel is a little dated but very clean and comfortable with a separate shower and toilet area. We requested a kettle and also received nuts as a snack. The staff are so helpful and friendly here. Breakfast was great, lots of variety for pastries, fruit, eggs, cereal and omelettes on request. Definitely would stay again. Sensatio...

Great time
Travelled on 04/2025
Excellent hotel 15 min walk along the river to the centre. Good size room pleasent staff. Bar a bit light on variety of beer. Items not replaced quickly at breakfast. Tram outside was fun. Hop on off bus stop 10 mins up the road.
Boat trip up the river good fun. Lots of restaurants in centre....

Bring a travel kettle, don't pay twice for drinks
Travelled on 05/2025
This is a reasonable hotel, let down by some of its procedures.

Porto - Best brunch in town - Melhor brunch da cidade
Travelled on 04/2025
Brunch muito diversificado, pratos frios, quentes, tapioca, estação de ovos, sobremesas.
Equipa excelente, a condizer com o menú. Experiência fantástica.
If you are in Porto, don't miss this spot. Very good brunch with free buffet, egg station, salads, veggies, sausages, hot dish that changes every week and a super nice team.
Well done Vila Galé Ribeira

Big hotel, well located.
Travelled on 03/2025
This is a big hotel, normally we avoid these big hotels, but this one is well located at the riverside and you can walk directly into the center.
The rooms are big, the layout is clear. The bar isn't very cosy, but i think that's always the problem in these kind of tourist hotels. The people were professionally friendly....
