Vila Galé Coimbra
10/10 Excellent
"Great staff. Lovely pool. Great views over river "
"All the hotel staff, and especially Helena, were friendly and helpful. The rooms are uniquely decorated in a cool and unique ‘marble library’ motif. The shower works great and the bed is comfortable. The location is convenient to the university and the rail station. One critique: the water closet is in a separate room (good) but the door and wall are clear glass, floor to ceiling (not good unless you’re an exhibitionist). "
"Really lovely AL near the Mondego and a quick walk across the Santa Clara bridge into the old town. Lots of cute cafes and bars nearby as well. Will definitely stay again the next time we're in Coimbra."
"We really enjoyed the room delivery of our welcome gift and breakfast. We were checked in quickly and efficiently. The room has a unique and fun decor. "
"Such a lovely property. Very clean and accessible. Location was pretty much in the hub of activity and was very close to most of the attractions we visited. Staff was kind and very helpful. If I come back to Coimbra, I would absolutely come back here to stay! "
