Deilig utebasseng, ellers kun ok (ifht til pris)
Pros:

Bassenget!! God beliggenhet ifht buss terminalen (3 min gange)

Cons:

Frokostbuffet ble ikke fylt opp. På begge våre frokoster var mye tomt. Synd det ikke var dusjkabinett i stedet for badekar. Det trengs generelt oppussing av rom og ganger (tepper på gulvene)

Sympa.
Pros:

La chambre était grande et bien agencé, les chambres et tout l’hôtel étaient impeccablement propres, il y avait beaucoup de choix de nourriture au petit déjeuner et le meilleur point positif c’est pour le personnel!!! Personnel est de 5 étoiles 🤩 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ souriant, sympathique, très serviable et en tous les services, BRAVO

Cons:

La cuisine dans le restaurant « Inévitavel », désolé, mais c’était pas bon et très fade… piscine trop petite pour le nombre d’hôtes, le style de l’hôtel ne nous plaisait pas vraiment, mais c’est une question de goût personnel , (pas de reproches) on a dû réserver à la dernière minute et on était très contents que l’hôtel nous a accueilli (MERCI beaucoup)

sueño roto
Pros:

el buffet del desayuno las instalaciones en general menos el SPA y por ultimo la responsable de dirección que intento recompensar las mala experiencia que cuento en lo que no me gusto siendo ya tarde, pues dejábamos el hotel ese mismo día

Cons:

Verdaderamente un desastre los chorros del spa no funcionaron ningún día, además parecía una guardería y eso que tenias que reservar hora.
No se controla que algunos huéspedes fumen marihuana sin parar y apestando las habitaciones contiguas sin poder salir a la terraza de la habitación y también apestando el pasillo que lleva a las habitaciones.

Pros:

Adoro os hotéis Vila Galé, sinto-me segura, são muito limpos, a comida é variado e deliciosa e gosto de usufruir do spa com os meus filhos

Cons:

Já fiquei varias vezes alojada neste hotel Vila Galé Coimbra, mas desta vez o quarto que me foi atribuído, às paredes pareciam de "papel", conseguia ouvir tudo o que quarto do lado dizia (e pior é que a rapariga do lado estava chateada e falava muito alto), portas a bater a toda a hora! Tínhamos feito uma viagem muito longa, chegamos muito tarde com criancas, estava exausta e só queria relaxar, o que foi muito difícil devido ao barulho dos quartos do lado! Nunca me tinha acontecido algo do género, fiquei muito desiludida

Pros:

Cons:

Nada a comentar
