Just misses the mark by alot
Rooms very dated. No USB charging. Reception explained the charges were all out and explained that I would have to purchase from a shop, that was closed. Pool table was super expensive for a guest. Towel process felt like I was treated like a criminal. Given I was told this was one of the best places in Tavira, i was not pleasantly surprised.

Impressive building, large foyer and reception area. Comfortable bedroom although poor bedside lighting. Breakfast restaurant could do with better ventilation. Self service breakfast content was adequate but room for improvement.

We have been visiting Tavira for many years and have always stayed at Hotel Vila Gale. The hotel is extremely convenient to the centre. A great little cafe over the road and lovely local supermarkets nearby. The hotel is clean the breakfast plentiful and the staff very attentive.

Tavira is a very quiet area of the Algarve. This hotel is very convenient to the riverside and catching the quick ferry to the pretty island beaches. The hotel is between a 3.5 - 4 star, I’d say. They don’t have any staff to help w/your luggage. The ample buffet breakfast was nice!

It was a nice hotel although March when we stayed so the pool wasn't open. Rooms were clean. Depending on which person at the desk you talk to, some were helpful. If I go back I would probably stay again.

We chose this hotel because we have stayed in another one and also visited another location to check it out. The mattresses were definitely not up to the chains standards and many ants in the bathroom. Breakfast didn't have as many choices as we had remembered from before but the hotel was full so maybe was running low on supplies. Parking is an extra fee.
