I very much enjoyed my stay at Vila Galé! The staff were excellent from check in to check out, the property itself is beautiful in an old, but updated colonial property. I stayed in one of the apartments right beside the pool and terrace, and even while you were situated with a walkway outside the room, I felt safe and comfortable enough to open the windows wide and take a nap or do whatever within the room. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to explore the beautiful Rio de Janeiro!

The location is great! The facilities are good, too. The room was good, too, but you can hear next door depending on the room assignment (some rooms share a door with next door, that’s why their noises will be audible). The bathroom is good; the shower head had the right pressure, but the lights could be brighter in there. I didn’t get the chance to experience the pool or the bar. Breakfast was wonderful, with many options of pastries, fruits, and omelets.

An ok hotel with strategic location

The check-in was ok, but my room was so noisy despite I asked for a quiet one.. it also had a lot of broken stuff.. A/C.. door knob.. & so on.. they did change it to a bigger & quieter one, but again sometimes they would only provide one towel.. leave hair & tissues on the floor.. etc…

The hotel seems old with respect to what I expected in the pictures. They are also very strict with check in time and in a city where flights from Europe usually land in the morning I felt it was predatory and cheap of them to charge me for an extra night.
