Property Description
Just a few minutes from the historic centre and the main tourist attractions, but also from Lordelo do Ouro, in a picturesque fishermen's area, Vila Galé Porto Ribeira is a charming hotel resulting from the refurbishment of four buildings in the Cais das Pedras area, close to Alfândega do Porto and about 15 kilometres from Sá Carneiro airport.
With painting as its theme, this hotel in Porto stands right in front of the Douro, with a privileged view of the river. Completely integrated into the urban reality of Cais das Pedras, it takes advantage of its proximity to Porto's riverside area. The hotel's reception and lobby maintain a strong relationship with the river, allowing guests to enjoy the view. Some rooms will have the Douro as a backdrop.
In addition to its location, Vila Galé Porto Ribeira also has a distinctive concept. It's a paper-free hotel, which means it works practically without the use of paper, replaced by the use of mobile devices and the internet. For example, check-in is done via tablets, which also allow you to check prices, find out about promotions or fill in satisfaction questionnaires. In the rooms, the information that is usually available on paper is now displayed on TV, in a portal with exclusive content. All the menus are online and can be consulted via smartphone.
During your stay at this hotel in Porto, take the opportunity to stroll around the trendy, cool, hospitable and chaste city of Porto, Portugal's second largest. Famous for its colourful riverside area, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its narrow buildings tucked away by the river Douro. But it's also known for the modernity of Serralves and the Casa da Música. And for the liveliness of the Galerias de Paris or Rua Miguel Bombarda, home to multiple art galleries and shops with the latest fashion trends. In Foz, where the Douro meets the Atlantic, the seafront area is ideal for those who love the sun, sea and beach, extending all the way to Matosinhos, a paradise for lovers of fresh fish and seafood.
The tradition of Port wine, the Rabelo boats, the cellars in Gaia, on the other bank, the bustling streets of Santa Catarina, Cedofeita and Aliados are other attractions.

Everything was very good. The only points that could be improved are: the comfort of the bed and the availability of fresh orange juice for breakfast.

Fantastic. Simple and easy check-in with fabulous customer service. So helpful with wonderful advise and directions for excursions in and around Porto. I especially liked the ice-cream station and the helper there for late night snacks to take up to my room which was also fabulous.

Lovely hotel right on the river. About 10 minutes from the centre of Porto. Staff are great. Food is good. Spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend this hotel.Bus and tram stops just 2 mins away. Suntrap square garden is fabulous (obviously when it's sunny!)...would definitely stay again. Sun lovers may want to leave it until April onwards as a bit cold in yhe evenings.

This hotel is about 15-20min walk along the river so pleasantly away from the crowds. The hotel is a little dated but very clean and comfortable with a separate shower and toilet area. We requested a kettle and also received nuts as a snack. The staff are so helpful and friendly here. Breakfast was great, lots of variety for pastries, fruit, eggs, cereal and omelettes on request. Definitely would stay again. Sensational restaurant around the corner at Soul Senses.

Excellent hotel 15 min walk along the river to the centre. Good size room pleasent staff. Bar a bit light on variety of beer. Items not replaced quickly at breakfast. Tram outside was fun. Hop on off bus stop 10 mins up the road. Boat trip up the river good fun. Lots of restaurants in centre.

This is a reasonable hotel, let down by some of its procedures. I would have expected a kettle to be provided as standard, but we had to request one, and apparently they were in short supply (only 4 available for the whole hotel?) The kettle we had was dangerous, did not automatically switch off, and the handle became very hot. I wrote in the complaint book about the way we were asked to pay twice for some drinks. Whilst the staff acknowledged they had charged us twice, they seemed to be unable to return the second payment. An issue which should have been easily remedied with an immediate refund then became a big problem, and is still not resolved. The art theme is interesting and Uber service was prompt when we did not want to walk. I recommend the hop on hop off bus to see a lot of this lovely city (turn right out of the hotel and walk along a little way for the bus stop)

Brunch muito diversificado, pratos frios, quentes, tapioca, estação de ovos, sobremesas. Equipa excelente, a condizer com o menú. Experiência fantástica. If you are in Porto, don't miss this spot. Very good brunch with free buffet, egg station, salads, veggies, sausages, hot dish that changes every week and a super nice team. Well done Vila Galé Ribeira
