The only downside to this property was the location. The surrounding area was very dirty and felt unsafe especially after dark. But the actual property was great, nice breakfast with a lot of options. Several of the staff spoke English which was very helpful.

While the immediate surrounding area isn't suitable for walking + exploration, the hotel itself is an oasis that is such incredible value for money - we ate at the on-site restaurant for three dinners! The massages we received were fantastic also. We'd definitely return!

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!

I found the hotel clean and well located close to the airport. I was surprised there was no bell man to assist with the luggage despite being at a 5 star hotel. This could be added. In addition, I was not able to order room service despite calling several times- no one answered. I very much appreciated the late check out and the front desk staff was great. Overall a a wonderful stay but a few things could be improved upon.
