Terrible service- no refund for their own mistake

Clean room- worst service and staff! They messed up my reservation and I ended up staying in a room two level downgraded bc that’s all they had available and they already gave my room to another guest! I paid 3 times more for the room I ended up staying. They didn’t refund or any sort of comp for their mistake. The same thing happened with another friend of ours that arrived later. They are not good at room reservations and allocations.

The Hotel has a very good location. Our room had no door into the bathroom area. The door into the toilet didn't close well so there was no privacy in the bathroom at all. We talked to the maintance person who was working at the hotel but he didn't do anything to improve our situation. Our room looked very used and shabby. A housekeeper took a used washcloth but didn't bring a fresh one back. Lights in the room and the bathroom were not working well. Breakfast was very average and the lack of good fresh fruits was disapointing. Unfortunately all great review that I have read about the hotel didn't meet our expectations.

The property is an old heritage building with amazing architecture which has been recently fully renovated. All the premises are almost brand new, and tastefully furnished. It has two great swimming pools where you can relax and a gym. The city rains a lot so one of the pools is indoor but we didn't need to use it. The restaurant offers a great variety of breakfast including local Portuguese food and international items. We were fortunate to book a half board option and we so much enjoyed the open buffet for dinner. The staff were very so amazing, friendly and welcoming. They tried their best to help us and also speak good English. Overall the two of us had enjoyed one of the best holidays over five days fir the first time in Baga. We shall definitely come back to Vila Galé.

Enjoyed our stay and would happily come back.

The hotel room was clean, comfortable and had a nice balcony. No furniture on the balcony and some balcony chairs would have been nice to sit outside. Tea and coffee facilities are available but note you need to ask receptionist to provide these to your room and you pay for coffee pods separately. Breakfast and dining was excellent and bar drinks in the internal courtyard also made a nice setting to relax in. Didn’t use the swimming pools but they looked good and were well used by other guests. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Overall, enjoyed our stay and would happily come back.

Beautiful property with very spacious & clean rooms, the only downside to the room was a lack of drawers/storage space for the 4 of us. The breakfast was great with a good selection & good fresh food. The swimming pool was nice but quite cold. All staff were very helpful & friendly.

Great location

Stayed here for 3 nights with my family of 5 kids age 10, 9, 7). We stayed in 2 rooms next to each other as there were no adjoining rooms available. The hotel was centrally located close to shopping and many restaurants all within walking distance. The rooms were very spacious and the exterior of the hotel was beautiful. The kids enjoyed the pool and the buffet breakfast was convenient. Braga was a beautiful city, would definitely stay here again.
