Generally, a pretty good experience. I stayed in the hotel for 9 days, and there's little to complain about. Other than the evident overhead trains noise that is. Many people have been complaining about that noise, but it's nothing some little music or TV in the room that wouldn't fade out! The room is spacious, clean, comfortable and the view... More

The hotel is right in front the Tejo (Tagus river) and 25 Abril bridge offering a nice view, but the cars and train noise are always present, even inside the room (not comfortable , specially if you have a light sleep). Being a nice and modern hotel chain, the Vila Galé Opera has great facilities, LCD TV, nice bathroom with... More

I stayed in this hotel the first time I visited Lisbon and I thought it was fine. It was handy to walk to the tourist attractions along the river. It was a bit further out from the centre than I would have liked (our taxi bills crept up!)The hotel itself was clean and staff friendly. I was dissapointed that you... More

The internet in this hotel is the worst I have seen anywhere in Europe. It works passably for email or Skype or non-browser things. But in any browser it works for about one minute out of every ten. Either it really sucks and they do not have enough bandwidth to accommodate their guests, or it is capturing information as you... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review about our hotel. Since February we have wireless internet throughout the hotel. In the meantime, we noticed that an increase of bandwidth is desirable, which was already requested to our internet service provider and it will be available within one month at most. In what concerns the beds, we have mattresses of good... More

Although everything was clean and everyone was friendly there were a few things that made me be a bit skeptical. The mattress was not that good, while the area that the hotel is located is great if you go to the conference center that is 200 meters away but a bit far from the city center. Also because of the...

A truly casting error from the Vila Galé Hotels chain, with unconvenient location. Being at Lisbon’s Alcantara area, far from city centre on foot (5 kms), far from metro stops, only reachonable by bus (I think there are bus nearby, besides not noticed), I always went to city centre (Terreiro do paço, Rossio, Chiado, Bairro Alto) by car (very complicated...

Staff were very helpful, the room was fine, but yes, the location is incredibly noisy! Very convenient location if you're attending an event at the congress centre, but otherwise, why would you stay here?!

I stayed at this hotel while away on business. It was one of those places that has a nice facade but when you begin to scratch away at the surface, all the flaws are apparent.
