Porto was a brief stop on my way to walk the Camino. Vila Gale was a wonderful and unique hotel. The room was comfy and modern at the same time. The rooms are also themed which add an additional dimension. The staff very friendly and breakfast was utterly delicious!

The Douro River

This hotel was nicely located by the river, not too far from downtown and the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food options were fresh and well prepared. The morning breakfast buffet was excellent! The room was very basic with few amenities but it was clean and the beds were comfortable.

Very good hotel , good location.

Had a 3 night stay here. Excellent staff and rooms. Very good eco friendly policies in place. Room was clean and comfortable , breakfast also very good - both hot and cold options. Location abot 10 mins walk to Ribeira which suited us and meant hotel was quiet at night. Several very good restaurants literally on the doorstep if you dont want to go too far at night. Would very much recommend and would definitely stay here again if back in Porto. Thanks to allthe staff who made our stay perfect.
