The hotel was lovely. An old hospital transformed into the most beautiful hotel, whilst maintaining a lot of its original character. The staff were amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and they recommended some excellent places to eat. Would definitely recommend it as a base to visit the area

Breakfast was great and service was attentive, and pool was also great. On the negative side, some of the carpets were dirty in the hallway - for a couple of days, and one of our beds had dirty sheets. But the more unpleasant was that we’re a family of five with young children and despite having plenty enough beds and space (square metres) in the room, they forced us to take another room.

For a four stars hotel the staff could really benefit from a better training. Grumpy attitude at breakfast were common, no attendance for long minutes in the lobby, bedroom made at 5pm, etc. Otherwise the quality of breakfast is good, the pool is nice and the location of the hotel is great. A large parking list right in the city center is also a plus. I have stayed at other Vila Gale properties near Lisbon and I found them much nicer and better managed

I was amazed by the attention to detail at this hotel. When I walked into my room on my birthday, I was greeted with a bottle of wine, a slice of cake, and a candle—such a beautiful, thoughtful surprise. It really made my stay unforgettable.
