Enjoyable stay at Vila Gale Opera Hotel
Vila Gale Opera Hotel if you have any Summit at Lisbon Congress Centre, convenient 4 min walk, close to downtown or take tram to downtown, excellent for day/evening walk/run along Tagus River. Delicious buffet breakfast/dinner, I highly recommend this hotel! I will stay there if I am ever back to Lisbon!

We loved how the front desk staff allowed us to store our luggage and use their facilities, like the pool and sauna, long before the 3pm standard check-in. They also allowed us to have the continental breakfast at the restaurant and check in just after 12 noon.

Wonderful stay at Lisbon
This is a really very good stay at Lisbon. The location is very convenient to visit Belem district with nearby tram connections. Several food options in the walking distance of the hotel. The hotel was very clean, the employees were very courteous. The breakfast buffet has a lot of options. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience!

Stay somewhere else!
The hotel has terrible pillows. Room service is not existent as no one ever picks up the phone! Same with reception - no one picks up the phone. The staff, specially at the bar are rude and the food was ok. Mini bar was never replenished. Will not recommend.

Perfect for the Belem region
Nice hotel. Little noisy due to the closeby bridge (especially the train). Good to explore the region of Belem, less suited for the historical region (little public transportation options close by, good for your daily steps). There are some cool restaurants nearby. The breakfast is elaborate with healthy and less healthy options and the staff is friendly. There is always free water (plain or pimped) available at the lobby which is a nice plus. If you have a choice ask for a room on the top floor where you can enjoy a nice view over the river.

Not allergy friendly.
The hotel was in good condition and the staff helpful however, if you have food allergies, or sensitivities be extremely careful of what you eat. Twice I was given food containing wheat after I told the staff that I have an allergy and showed them my eppi pen. I cannot recommend this hotel because of that.

Bring a swimming cap or be forced to buy one to use the indoor pool. The outdoor pool is tiny (read: kiddie pool) and is freezing.

The plastic bed protector and blood stained pillow case were aweful. The hotel stay would have been excellant if I could have slept. The plastic on the bed was loud when I moved around, the plastic was slick and sweaty. Even a layer of inexpensive fabric would make a huge difference. Blood stained pillow case is unforgivable. Sorry to say I won't be back.

I have no idea how this is 4 stars. We had to ask for the sheets to be changed as other peoples hair were still in the bed. Staff appear unable to organise taxi's so be ready with uber app. It is like a 1970's throw back in decor and not in a good way. No iron, no tea or coffee facilities. Very expensive and would avoid

Genel olarak otelin yerinden ve ortamdan hoşnut kaldım. Birkaç olumsuz yanı vardı. Yatak yeterince rahat değildi. Pencerenin açılmaması ve içeriye temiz hava girmemesi çok sıkıntı vericiydi. Özellikle dışarıda denizden gelen rüzgarlar eserken oda boğucuydu.
