My stay at Vila Gale Porto was quite mixed. While the breakfast selection was delectable and the pool on the 19th floor offered stunning views, I faced significant issues with room cleanliness and staff responsiveness. Unfortunately, I encountered bedbugs during my stay, which severely impacted my experience.
Rooms

The room I stayed in had significant cleanliness issues, with dust noticeable in the closet. The decor felt somewhat outdated, and there were problems with the air conditioning. However, the bed was comfortable enough.
Service

Service varied greatly; while some staff were efficient, I found them generally unfriendly and unhelpful. After reporting bedbugs, the response from management was disappointing as I received no follow-up after my initial report.

The hotel is located about a 15-minute walk from the more vibrant areas of Porto, making it slightly inconvenient for accessing main attractions. However, the proximity to metro stations was a plus.

I stayed at Vila Gale Porto - Centro for three nights, and my experience was quite mixed. On the plus side, the breakfast was excellent with a wide selection, and the pool on the 19th floor offered stunning views of Porto. However, I found the hotel dated, and the service was lacking due to apparent understaffing, making some aspects of my stay frustrating.
Rooms

My room was clean, but the furniture felt quite dated, with dusty carpets and no coffee service as promised. I also encountered a strong cleaning chemical odor when I arrived, which wasn't pleasant.
Service

The staff members I interacted with were friendly, yet I often felt that the service was slow due to being understaffed, especially during breakfast and at the lobby bar where I waited over an hour for service.
Location

The hotel is conveniently located near a metro station, making it easy to explore the city. However, it is slightly outside the main attractions area, which was a bit inconvenient for me.
Dining

Breakfast was definitely a highlight with a rich selection, including fresh fruits and made-to-order omelets. However, the restaurant could use more atmosphere, as it felt large and echo-y.

The pool was a lovely spot with gorgeous views, although it required booking and had time restrictions. I appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of the common areas.

The indoor pool offered a nice view of the city, though it was a bit on the smaller side. and I had to book a time slot to use it, which was a bit odd.
