A customer who stayed at 4* Vila Gale Porto in Porto wrote this review.
Went to Porto to get some late sunshine and it didn't dissapoint us. The Hotel is not the most central but has easy access to the Metro, well worth using to get about,and Taxis which are just down the street. Porto itself is more hilly than we expected, however there are plenty of bars and cafe's for short breaks to recover in. The Ribiera area by the river is overflowing with things to see and do, from river tours to museums. The people in Porto were some of the friendliest and most helpful that we have had the pleasure to meet. The hotel staff were impecible and nothing was too much trouble. The restaurants that we used surprised us in the quality and quantity of the dishes. We will certainly be returning to Porto as there is still much of it to see.

A customer from SUDBURY who stayed at 4* Vila Gale Porto in Porto wrote this review.
We booked a couple of Ryanair flights from Stansted to Porto, then a short taxi drive to the Vila Gale Hotel. We have stayed in couple of Vila gale Hotels before and this one didn't dissapoint. great location with city views from 17th floor window. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast a fantastic bufffet. Used by lots of coach tour companies but other than the lifts being very crowded on a couple of occassions we encountered no problems.
