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.

The hotel was very nice and clean, great pool (especially for kids), good breakfast and dinner options. Beautiful balcony overlooking the river.

The bathroom needs to be renovated, particularly the bathtub, which is too high.

Nice quiet hotel, good for family stay.

Only one little bottle of water provided for a family of 4 for a 3 day stay. It wasn't replaced for the second and third day stay. They are charging so much for family room, they should provide a bottle of water for each person per night!

Good value for the price

Good amenities, nice staff and good breakfast.

The fact that we were told to book to go to the spa, but saw plenty of people just walking in, without having booked. The gym was extremely hot, and some machines were not even plugged in. I don't know if they forgot to turn on the AC or if it's broken, but since it's right next to the indoor pool, it was hard to do any exercise in such a warm environment.

Great short stay in Coimbra.

The staff were very helpful with information on what to do in Coimbra. The food was great. We had half board which worked well as we spend the day sightseeing and found having dinner in the hotel a relaxing end to the day. 12 check out was good as well so we could relax and not feel rushed to leave. We used the pool facilities on both days we stayed at the hotel which was a bonus.

The pool area was very busy late afternoon so that was the only slight negative. We didn't use the indoor pool only the outdoor one.
