What was the highlight of Vila Gale Coimbra Hotel

Expensive but not impressive enough

Huge space. Clean room. Prime location and nice river view.

The hotel was huge and nice landscape. Room rate includes breakfast buffet. What the other guest mentioned is true: the room is spacious and clean, but too outdated and not as luxurious as the hotel claims to be 4 star. The carpet in the room was particularly clear that it hasn’t been deep cleaned in a very long time. The hotel didn’t provide any amenities except the hairnet and no fridge inside the room either. I had to call the reception to get the amenities. I understand that eco-friendly is the norm but at least at 4* standard and nearly 170euro/night, they could’ve asked me if I needed anh amenities at check-in. The breakfast hall was, once again, Huge, but the buffet itself was basic, nothing special and not really 4* standard. When I arrived at breakfast it was still during peak hours but food replenishing was too slow. However what disappointed me most was that I asked the receptionist to wake-up call me so that I could take my medication on time, because I just underwent an invasive procedure that noon time and really did need some special attention/support. Yet, there was no calls at all. This has never happened to me at other hotel establishments no matter the scale, and I have traveled many places around the world. Overall I’d say not very impressive that much to come back.

Very enjoyable - highly recommended - I would stay again!

Clean, spacious rooms. Helpful, polite, hard-working staff. The breakfast was fantastic - tasty, plentiful and a huge variety. The pool was great. My (adult) son had his birthday while we were there...and a complimentary bottle of wine and birthday cake was left in his room - a lovely surprise and very much appreciated. Good location for bus station and an easy walk into Coimbra.

The decor was a little gloomy (lots of dark brown) in places - perhaps it could do with updating. However, that is purely cosmetic and it did not adversely affect our stay.

What was the highlight of Vila Gale Coimbra Hotel

Clean, comfortable, good breakfast, no lactose information, bring swimming caps.

Shower was great. Room had lots of space, our 2 kids slept in the sofa bed comfortably. TV had a lot of options. Smelled clean. The outside pool was great, there were water slides which aren't advertised. There was also a playground that was not advertised. The inside pool with sauna, Turkish bath and jacuzzi was very good and clean. It is appointment based though. Breakfast was great. Lots of choices. Different breads, cakes, pastries, jams, honey, butter, cheeses, olive oils. There were a lot of choices in beverages, from 5 different types of juices to tea, coffee, milk and sparkling water. There were also breakfast cereals and yoghurt. Finally there were eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, filled tomatoes, baked beans, quiche, pancakes. Omeletes were done by request on the hour. All food was labeled in English and Portuguese and with the nutritional values.

I don't understand how, among all this luxury and cost, the information about lactose content in the breakfast is severely lacking. When asked about lactose the lady said the milk had lactose and also some pastries. Looking at the choices there was obviously a lot more food with lactose. As I'm lactose intolerant I felt very unsafe eating anything. Ended up eating bread with olive oil and eggs. A hotel of this quality should have information about allergens readily available and not leave the guests to guess. I had complained about this 5 years ago when my intolerance was mild and expected better this time around. Even in low quality restaurants I'm able to know the lactose contents of the options. For the indoor pool there is no warning that swimming caps were necessary, they were available to buy but 4€ each which was severely overpriced considering the quality. Information about kids facilities is not readily available.

Good value but very busy

Dinner and breakfast was by way of a buffet, good value but mobbed by coach loads of guests. Very busy hotel and difficult to get served when stuck behind so many fighting to get served. Staff very bvery pleasant and helpful

The check in was far too slow, not enough staff and locals trying to jump a large queue. This need improving.

Very Good

Excellent breakfast with plenty of options. I know bed preferences are very much a personal thing. I had a single bed which is not a problem per se, but it felt old, lumpy, a bit saggy. I did expect better, and it's really my only criticism. The staff were personable and I really enjoyed one of them playing the piano one evening.

The bed was not up to standard.

Functional hotel with good value and big selection of food for breakfast

Spacious room and reception and bar area

A few more sun beds around the pool area would have been good. When walkway to the old town is opened it will improve the access.
