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

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.
