    We had a faulty Aircon in the room and it kept turning itself off at night so it was hot

    We stayed half board so the food was nice and whilst we stayed they had two themed dinners which was amazing. The indoor pool, hot tube and sauna was nice as well as the outdoor pool. Very child friendly, with one afternoon where they had a live singer by the pool. Also they sent some room service of a chocolate lava cake for my daughters birthday, a nice touch to end our staycation.

    In the room, the noise of the minibar working at night, it’s disturbing and caused a not so good night.

    Like most hotels in the Vila Galé family, it’s good. A little update on the rooms, and will be great.

    I missed having a electric kettle to make some tea in the room. There is also a huge waiting queue for breakfast in the morning. Maybe cause it's high season and the hotel was full.

    The hotel is very clean and in a nice location.

    very crowded overall as large groups of tourists are brought by pullman to the hotel. the facilities handle the volumes well but breakfast and pool experiences are unavoidably affected

    modern hotel on the outskirts of Coimbra. The surroundings are somewhat bare and unappealing but a good 15 min walk takes you to the historic center of town. the hotel offers parking for a reasonable fee. the pool is large and offers entertainment for children

    Pool too busy for us in the daytime but as it was so hot outside probably explains the crowd A lot of construction in the neighbourhood which of course the hotel Could not help. But you don’t hear anything about that inside the hotel

    Friendly service at the counter. Clean rooms Good breakfast Nice gym Not too far from City center

    The location is not ideal if you looking to explore the older parts of the city on foot. But perfectly fine if you coming by train and need a few days to relax by the pool or at the spa. The dinner prices for some meals at the restaurant are a bit higher than expected.

    The hotel pool was the real star, especially during these hot summer days. With a lovely setup for families with a smaller pool for the little kids. A nice pool bar offering some meals and cocktails. The staff overall were super friendly and helpful. Rooms were kept clean and the morning breakfast offered a good variety.

    The AC wasn't able to cool the room so much but it was also a very hot day (40 degrees)

    Hotel was modern and bright. Room was clean and spacious with a nice view. Very quiet. Liked the bathroom, shower and shampoo/conditioner provided Breakfast was great with a huge spread and selection for everyone. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Nice location - walking distance to downtown

    Carpets in the room did not look clean. There were absolutely no plugs in the room to connect phones, tablets, this was actually a dislike as it is unheard of nowadays. I didn't like, but it's not a deal breaker, that even when the room had an awesome view it could not be enjoyed as the large windows were facing the sun all day long. Had to have blackout curtains drawn the entire day. Something to avert the direct sun light like an awning over the balcony could be a good idea.

    Spacious bathroom with a window, nice view, good pool and bar, good breakfast and restaurant, spacious parking although narrow exit/entrance to it. Close to center but not walking distance.

    Could hear everything from the room above, talking and dragging furniture, not very pleasant when you are trying to sleep. Paying for parking when you stay at the hotel...

    Large room. Good breakfast and nice swimming pool.
