What guests think

At Vila Gale Collection S.Miguel, reviewers consistently highlight the central, walkable location, attractive historic property and courtyards, and friendly, helpful staff, along with clean, comfortable rooms and enjoyable pools and spa that create a relaxing base for exploring Ponta Delgada.

Some facilities were under maintenance or not yet operating, and several guests mentioned short pool and gym hours or ongoing construction affecting parts of the property. Breakfast and dining drew mixed feedback, with many satisfied but others finding the buffet limited, dishware not consistently clean, or gluten-free options lacking. Some guests reported darkness, small or awkward bathrooms, city noise or weak soundproofing, and occasional comfort issues with beds and bedding. A good option if you value character and convenience, but be prepared for occasional inconsistencies.

Still construction around, but very good for the city. Very clean, no annoying insects. High price, paid in full, but I did not benefit from all the facilities because they do not work (spa, gym), or are not yet in operation and the smell of fresh paint is everywhere. They could work on the offer to customers and when all the works are finished, maybe it becomes even more interesting.

This is a beautiful property with old world charm. We were surprised that beds were not more comfortable and of better quality. Also, no top sheet - only comforter which was too hot. However, upon request we were provided with top sheet. Location of hotel has its positives and negatives. It's located in the heart of a popular square downtown which makes it extremely noisy during busy times. Thankfully, we were on the 4th floor which helped with noise level. Staff very pleasant and accommodating. Breakfast very limited and not the best. I skipped it several days. Indoor pool is beautiful but be aware of tiles around the pool as extremely slippery. My husband took a fall as tiles were wet from children playing. Seems type of tiles not the best option for pool area. They have a nice bar/lounge area with entertainment on some evenings. Overall, a nice experience.

A very nice and atmospheric building, decorated quite well in almost every aspect. Indoor pool area was under maintenance during my stay however, and I was disappointed that I was not notified of this beforehand. On my first night, a cockroach had slipped into my bathroom as well. Otherwise the room was good, with a wide coverage of the Fort and the Square. Breakfast buffet was fair, supper buffet was lacking.

Ein wirklich schönes neues und imposantes Hotel. Die Öffnungszeiten von Pool und Fitnesscenter könnten deutlich länger sein, von 8 bis 20 Uhr ist einfach zu wenig wenn man wie wir tagsüber zu Ausflügen unterwegs ist. Trotzdem ist der Poolberreich wunderschön. Das Frühstücksbuffett hat uns nicht vollständig überzeugt. Die Sauberkeit des Geschirrs war suboptimal, täglich hatte man einige Teller, die trotz Geschirrspüler offensichtlich nicht ganz sauber wurden.

Staff not attentive. Had to ask twice to change bedsheets, topped up shower gel in dispenser with water so that there was only water left! Hand wash dispenser came off wall. Room cleaning service was carried out far too late in day. Normally around 4pm but one day as late as 5pm. Such a shame as hotel was stunning and room was wonderful

Breakfast staff are excellent. The room has a strange set up.. There is a step to get into the room after you open the door. Tiny bathroom, no bathtub, bidet and a tiny shower division which floods the bathroom, 2 small mattress makes a double bed., 1 coffee capsule and water are offered only on the first night. It needs to improve on comfort. No cushions on the sofa etc
