Vila Gale Collection Figueira da Foz

The building is beautiful and the rooms have wonderful balconies facing the sea.

Hotel is fine but furniture and decor quite oldish. Service at reception is professional and courteous, but during breakfast at restaurant it is very basic. No private parking - had to pay 1euro for 2hrs, but no payment overnight. Our room had no view on the beach, probably due to the good price bargain we benefitted from.

Excellent location (across the road from the beach, good marina near by, plenty of restaurants walking distance). Very hospitable and friendly staff, quick and easy check in and out. Newly furbished rooms, very clean, ocean view balcony (I've had a free upgrade curtessy of hotel staff, as ocean view rooms were available). Great money value, affordable prices. Good breakfast. Good food at the restaurant, very good service. Good English spoken. Free Wi-Fi. Free parking available near-by. Rent-a-car facility walking distance. I stayed there twice, and will do again whenever I'm in the area.

Had a good stay here in a room with a great balcony and lovely view over the vast beach. The hotel is very modern, clean and comfortable. We were made welcome on arrival and despite being early quickly shown to our very nice room. The downstairs area of the hotel was very grand for a chain and offered a very comfortable lounge. The room was well appointed and we had a good nights sleep. The room was very quiet despite being on the front of the hotel. The breakfast, which our friends had, although extra was excellent with a lot of choice. Overall I would recommend this hotel as being very good value for money.

All comes down to expectation, and this is a good little 4 star hotel by the beach. It's good value for money, and the staff are very helpful There's wifi included and a clean comfortable room. It's a bit old, so expect some wear and tear. There's a automatic shoe shine machine on the first floor - old school! I would happily stay here again.

Stayed here with partner who was in Figuera for a conference. It was perfect for that purpose, situated right across from the beach in the peaceful end of the town. It was still close to restaurants and cafes and it was a 20 min walk to the other end of the beach. Our hotelroom was VERY quiet, facing the street but right above the reception so it had a glassed in balcony, perfect to sit on in the evening enjoying the view and a drink.

It's a nice hotel with nice staff when they are there. One coat hanger in the wardrobe. No milk with the tea/coffee in room. Tea bag not replaced after use. Nor was the disposable cup. Bar unattended.

This hotel was likely the star on the beachfront in the 1950's. Doubt is has been updated since then. Location, relative to the beach, is excellent. The hotel faces the beach. But, note that the ocean is still a bit of a walk away. Location, relative to restaurants and sights, is poor. Other than the beach, not much here. Elevators. Small and few in number. Good breakfast buffet. If you want to hang out on the beach, this is a good choice. If you want see sights in this area, there might be better options.
