An ok hotel with strategic location

The check-in was ok, but my room was so noisy despite I asked for a quiet one.. it also had a lot of broken stuff.. A/C.. door knob.. & so on.. they did change it to a bigger & quieter one, but again sometimes they would only provide one towel.. leave hair & tissues on the floor.. etc…

The hotel seems old with respect to what I expected in the pictures. They are also very strict with check in time and in a city where flights from Europe usually land in the morning I felt it was predatory and cheap of them to charge me for an extra night.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Would I stay here again? No. There was no iron or laundry service (you have to pay for it). The buffet is expensive, and the food is not great for the price (80-90 reais). Be careful—I was charged twice for the buffet. Keep your receipts if you pay with the attendant.

Having spent the last month travelling through South America with terrible weather following me wherever I went, I couldn’t wait to get to Rio and spend a few days just laying by the pool. As arrived at Vila Galé and was about to check in I suddenly realised that I’d left my rucksack in the back of the cab from the airport. Luckily Everton, who speaks flawless English, was on the front desk and immediately took charge. He managed to contact the cab driver who 10 minutes later appeared in the lobby with my missing bag. I then realised that I’d booked the wrong room but this was soon rectified by Muna who managed to sort of all out and place me in the room I’d wanted. The staff are uniformly helpful, the breakfast buffet is plentiful, the pool is an oasis on the middle of Lapa. My favourite place in Rio. This was my 4th stay. I’ll be back for a 5th soon.

Hotel Vila Gale in the Lapa district of Rio is a great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was excellent and there is a large swimming pool and sunbathing area. Lapa is close to the Sambadrome during Carnival season, but the area is rundown and there are many rough sleepers on the streets. However, we did not experience any issues and loved all the faded splendour of the old buildings.
