About Vila Gale Porto Ribeira

A few minutes away from the historic center and the main tourist attractions, as well as from Lordelo do Ouro, a picturesque fishing area, Vila Galé Porto Ribeira is a boutique hotel, resulting from the rehabilitation of four buildings in the area of Cais das Pedras, near the Old Customs House of Porto and about 10 kilometers from the Sá Carneiro airport.

Themed after the art of painting, this hotel in Porto stands just opposite the Douro, with a superb view of the river. Completely integrated into the urban reality of Cais das Pedras, it draws on its proximity to the riverside area of Porto.

The hotel's reception and lobby keep a strong relationship with the river, allowing guests to enjoy the views. Some rooms will have the Douro as scenery.

During your stay at this hotel in Porto, take the opportunity to stroll through the trendy, cool, welcoming and genuine city of Porto, the second largest in Portugal.

The hotel is quite a long walk to the main Ribera area, about a 20 minute walk for the fit person. The room was good but there was no hospitality tray (Tea/coffee etc). You had to ask for a kettle or a coffee pod machine, and I only found out about this by looking on the online information. However, when we visited there were no coffee pods in stock.
Otherwise it is a very nice hotel with mainly friendly staff especially in the Reception area. The bar staff were not overly helpful.
The breakfast was excellent with loads of choice of food and nice staff.
There are some excellent restaurants very close by, away from the tourist areas.

We liked that it is by the river. Our room had a view of the courtyard and we were gone for the majority of the day so view not important but it was nice if using dining area. The breakfast was adequate but they need to have coffee out all day since there is no coffee maker in rooms.
One night they were busy in the dining room and the front desk person was working in the restaurant so has to wait to speak to her...they seemed to be short on employees but maybe they were just busier than usual in the restaurant that night.
Our room was a good size, comfortable beds, efficient air conditioning when working. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Our last night it wasn't working but within 20 minutes the problem was resolved. The shower door leaked but we just put extra towels down to soak up and let staff know when we checked out.
Staff were all nice and helpful. We had a very early departure on last day and they arranged a taxi for us and had breakfast boxes for us. The taxi driver was on time, professional and reasonably priced.
It's only a 10-15 walk to all the action downtown.
Overall, a nice place to stay at a good location.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the hotel, good value and helpful, staff were quiet good, in fact. Food was very average and the area a bit suspect. I was told not to leave anything valuable in the car which was left out the hotel overnight. The rating would be higher if I had not been there with a car.

Location abot 10 mins walk to Ribeira which suited us and meant hotel was quiet at night. Several very good restaurants literally on the doorstep if you dont want to go too far at night.

A pretty good stay, overall

We liked the hotel well enough.

The staff was excellent and super friendly. Breakfast was pretty good and we ate in the restaurant one night and the food was good.

I was surprised the shower had a bath gel/shampoo-only option with no other amenities. It seemed limited for a 4 STAR. I understand that the idea is to be eco-friendly - but there was hand soap in a pump at the sink and the shower soap was also the shampoo that made our hair sticky. There are better, eco-friendly options that we have seen where the products are in different containers and of better quality.
We also did not like that door to the toilet is glass and does not extend to the ceiling. This leaves the toilet open to the room ( there is no door to the bathroom area) and does not offer much privacy if you are traveling with someone.

The beds were single beds that were pushed together.
The window opened to the courtyard below.

The antique trolley option was helpful with all the walking and was located minutes from the Hotel.

Again, the staff was really nice.

Nice hotel right on the river, easy walk into town and other sites. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Full breakfast was included with cost of room. My only issue was the keypad allowing entry to my room was not functioning, and I had to ask staff to unlock the door every time I returned (this occasionally involves waiting in line at the desk). Everyone was pleasant about this, but I was not offered anything as compensation for this inconvenience.

This was a great location with excellent views, accommodations, food, and service. Hotel staff gave great recommendations on where to visit for first-timers. Location is about 5-10 min. drive from the city center, but can also be walking distance depending on where you are located. They also have an extraordinary view of the water in front, which is also within the view of the lobby and breakfast area, giving guests a nice view while eating. Breakfast is great with lots of choices and quality of food.

Great hotel for a short Porto vacation.

The hotel is great overall! It is by the Doro river and surrounded by a bunch of local restaurants and walking distance to Porto downtown, about 20 min walk. The room I booked was simple but clean. The staff are supee friendly and the hotel restaurtant is great for both breakfast and dinner. The hotel has about 10 parking spots, but they are tiny, smaller the car the better.

Nice option out of the busiest touristic area

My wife and I stayed for 5 days to explore the area during Easter Holidays. The hotel is reasonably well located, not really there on the main attractions area but within a walking distance from Cais da Ribeira which ended up being not so bad because the city was really full. Fair size room and breakfast.

Nice hotel, 30 minute walk

I chose this hotel because I wanted a river view room, at a better price than a more central location. The view wasn’t worth the half hour walk. It was a high window, you had to be standing to see the view. Aside from inconvenient location for walkers, the hotel is very nice. There’s an artsy room decor. Breakfast had omelets and pancakes plus a huge spread and delicious coffee. We used the trolleys for transport uphill and along the river. They were fun but they end very early like 7:30 . There is s very good bar and tapas place next door too. Otherwise you’re out of the action.

Lovey hotel a short tram ride from the centre. Clean rooms and friendly staff with a wonderful breakfast included. My only criticism would be the slightly cold feel of the bar area in the evenings which is set up more like a restaurant and just needs some couches to make it a bit more cosy! A good find.

Great getaway place to stay while visiting Porto.

Perfect location on the river and away from the really busy area. Rooms are very spacious, breakfast included with an omelette station. Cute outdoor patio on the back and one in the front. Close to restaurants, grocery store and river cruise. View at night is lovely - we were very happy with our stay!

Great Porto hotel off the beaten track

Staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful! Busy hotel so rooms at end of corridors are quieter. Airconditioning quite fierce and noisy when room facing inner courtyard

Beautiful understated hotel overlooking the river

The hotel is quiet and the decor unusual - art is the theme and each room has a mural of an artist. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is about 1km from the centre, but there is a bus and tram nearby and taxis are reasonable. A selection of snacks, salads etc are available all day and there is a pleasant courtyard at the back of the hotel

The hotel needs updating. It does not feel like a four star hotel. Hard to get to with a car

Quiet, recently renovated hotel directly across from river within 30 minute walk to main tourist area. Several restaurant and bar choices within 100 m of the front door. Rooms are spacious, well appointed with king size beds, and spotlessly clean. Big walk in shower with plenty of hot water. Hop on bus stop a block away and hotel can sell you ticket. Reccomend this as best way to get around. Do get off at the beach area and have a drink at one if the many bars. Uber is also here. Included breakfast is pretty good with lots of fruit, basic eggs and an omelet station. The Sandeman port bar just outside front door has a great deal for 7 to 9 euro of 3 port tastings with very generous pours.

Decent choice

Stylish, comfortable hotel, no complaints. About 25-minute walk to the Ribeira, or take the tram which stops in front of the hotel.

Very nice hotel

Comfortable and clean, breakfast very good. A bit of a walk to old town (about 20 mins), but easy along the river side.

Porta is still a bit shabby sheik, a bit alternative in places, but very nice and welcoming. We had a lovely time there for a week end and there is plenty to see.

The hotel was ideal, the staff very helpful and we did not want for anything.

Nice hotel

Stayed here for four nights. Picked it because it was next to the river Doura and it was reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and as the weather was good we could eat it in the courtyard garden. In hindsight I think I would have chosen a hotel nearer the centre as it was a good 20 minute walk to get to the centre. That said we could have taken the tram every time as it stopped nearby.
Room was nice and quiet with a safe. Personally however I do not like glass only partially obscured bathroom/toilet doors. It's one thing if you are with a partner but if you are staying with a friend it lacks privacy.

Quiet hotel overlooking the rivet

I had expected it to be in Ribeira but Miragaia was much nicer and we were within walking distance of 2 tram lines. The breakfasts were excellent and the internal courtyard very pretty for sitting, reading, drinking.

A charming hotel in what is now a wonderful city.

This is a super hotel situated outside the main bustle of Oporto but close enough either to take the picturesque tram or to walk in to the city centre. The riverside location affords glorious views across the Douro and the hotel is comfortable, cosy and thoroughly delightful. The rooms are quiet and well sound-proofed, although the nearby helipad can still make things noisy during the day if you're outside on the street or in the internal courtyard. Breakfasts are good and with a reasonable choice and there are also sufficient good choices of snacks and sandwiches available throughout the rest of the day until 2300. The staff, who all appear to be local, are typically Portuguese, smiling, helpful, cheerful and nothing is too much trouble. They are proud of their hotel and their city and justifiably so, for this Unesco Heritage City is now a splendid place to visit and the Vila Gale a perfect place to stay.

So were Joao at the evening desk and Luis, our server.
These employees made our stay extremely delightful. I applaud their constant efforts to make sure all was in order. By the way, their English skills are remarkable!

Loved my stay!

Place was great. Check-in was smooth and the location, along the river, was really nice. I prefer being a little away from city centers; it was a pleasant 10 minute walk to the historic center. The hotel has an artist theme. I got the Hieronymus Bosch room! Breakfast was included and was fantastic - great selection, including omelettes to order. Staff were always friendly and helpful. Will return!

Vila Gale - best chain of hotels

Vila Galé Porto Ribeira is an excellent hotel. It is part of the Vila Gale chain of hotels who have a very high level of attention to detail. Its location is along the river, with several good restaurants in the vicinity. A fifteen minute walk will take you to the main restaurant area.

Very well located, a few walking minutes from Ribeira tourist area with loads of restaurants and things to do.
Rooms are not big, but very comfortable, clean and quiet with all the amenities needed to spend a few relaxing days.
Very good breakfast, extremely helpful staff.
Garage is a bonus in an area where parking is at a premium. Art quotes and replicas all around in the hotel is a nice touch and adds to the ambience.
Will certainly be back!
