I stayed here for a couple of nights for a business trip. The location was fine for me because it was close to where I was working but when we went for a night out, the options were quite limited. The marina area (just across the road) is nice, the pubs were lively and the food was good but choices... more

As several people have said, there are some drawbacks to this hotel. The staff I found OK but it's a fairly basic service. A friend of mine asked about availability of tickets for a Sporting Lisbon Champions League soccer match and was told it would be sold out. In fact the ground was half empty and tickets were easy to... more

Average convention hotel with a captive audience - only a block from the convention center. Convenient for a stroll down to Belem and the docks but requires cab (15 min/10Euro) each way to get to downtown areas. Rooms are standard European minimalist and bathrooms are not in good condition. 15 Euro/day charge for internet access is truly outrageous! Pretty good... more

The hotel lives on its convenient location near the congress centre which seems to mean it can offer poor service and charge extra for everything. My visit started badly as soon as I arrived. No, they didn't have a booking for me, and no they didn't have a room available that night. Even though I had sent a booking form... more

My girlfriend and I had a fabulous experience at the Vila Galé Albacora hotel in Tavira, Algarve (also a 4-star) - so without hesitation we booked the Opera in Lisbon for a spontaneous 5-day trip. Unfortunately, our expectations were way too high - this Vila Galé has a lot to wish for. Rooms: Admittedly, the hotel was part of a... more

We stayed for 3 nights at the Hotel Vila Gale Opera and thought the hotel was really nice. The rooms are spacious, tidy, comfortable and I had no problem getting a good night's sleep. The breakfast buffet is also pretty decent with a fairly large range of food available. The hotel is located a few kms from the town centre... more

This hotel is ok for sleep one day. I dont like the bed. more

So this hotel does exactly what it says on the tin! It is very clean as there is always cleaning staff on hand, the reception staff were very polite and gave us really good recommendations on places to eat and how to get around. If you are into opera then the hotel has a few performances on weekend evenings and... more

Have just come back from a 4 day break with hubby and a 15 month baby. The hotel could not do enough for us, even gave us free milk for the little one's bottle. The lobby was beautiful and the restuarant was fab!! Try the buffett, it's great value for money. The hotel is not close to the centre and... more
