The pool area was really great. The hotel is within walking distance to the sites that I wanted to see and there were plenty of restaurants close by.

The massages we received were fantastic also. We'd definitely return! ##### Fiona Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alceir Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Amenities Excellent staff.very clean good location ##### Alceir Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary Oct 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Gary Stayed 11 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger Apr 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel Great hotel, wonderful staff and good food. ##### Roger Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great rooms.

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. ##### carla Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very pleasant stay.

Large pool long enough for me to swim laps. Spacious room with almost no street noise disturbance. Staff very attentive and kind, especially Guilherme and Vladimir at reception. Extensive breakfast selection with certain items cooked to your order. ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Natasha Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the breakfast and pool at this property. The neighborhood unfortunately has alot of homeless people on the streets and garbage but is good if you love music as the Lapa area has many music bars and restaurants. The staff is nice but they do not have too much knowledge about recommendations for swimable beaches and family activities. ##### Natasha Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Nigel Mar 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel Vila Gale in the Lapa district of Rio is a great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was excellent and there is a large swimming pool and sunbathing area. Lapa is close to the Sambadrome during Carnival season, but the area is rundown and there are many rough sleepers on the streets. However, we did not experience any issues and loved all the faded splendour of the old buildings. ##### Nigel Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The hotel itself was great! Extremely helpful and nice staff. The location was however not the best. I didn’t feel safe walking around at night alone or even with my partner. A lot of homeless near by and a lot of people told me that theft is very high in that part of town. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### alvaro Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me and my Wife had a great experience Todu fue excelente . the place , beautiful Comida de lA Mañana Great .

The location is simply amazing, and the area is buzzing with energy. If you’re a party animal who loves being close to the action, Lapa is the perfect place for you. The hotel staff is absolutely fantastic - they’re friendly, helpful, and go the extra mile to make sure you have a great time. The rooms are spotless, and the cleaning ladies are incredibly friendly. I had an amazing time here, and there were no issues at all. Oh, and our flight was at night, so they were so kind to let us shower at the spa shower before our flight. It was a lovely touch! ##### Jhan Carlos Ismael Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### John Feb 21, 2025 Likes: great room size. Very quiet at night. Good block out curtains. Fast room service. Dislikes: breakfast service chaotic…kept running out of plates, cereal bowls, paper napkins (cocktail napkins instead), slow replenishment of food and slow staff. Guests unable to borrow iron and board. Only hotel ironing service available. Very limited bathroom toiletries. ##### John Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Brian L Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Food was just ok in my opinion. Breakfast was free but left a lot to be desired. Very clean and secure place but once you leave the premises you’re on your own and may see any and everything. But that’s all over Lapa. So if you’re faint of heart this may not be for you. ##### Brian L Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Cesar Jan 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness It doesn’t feel like a 4.5 star hotel. The staff didn’t even bother to help with luggage or to say good morning. You get charged the water in the room. Most hotels give that for free. The pool didn’t seem all that clean either. It is located at a good spot since you have everything close by. Just be careful walking at night. It may not be safe. ##### Cesar Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thaddaeus Sep 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is beautiful. There is an older section that has great character and architecture. This is where we stayed. It was a very great experience. There is also a more modern part of the property with all the modern conveniences. Once inside the facility it is very clean, safe, and inviting. However, the area of the city is less desirable. Like most cities, there are areas less clean and less safe. This is the area of the city that this hotel is in. Plenty of trash and unsavory smells in the area around the hotel. If you are a little adventurous and cautious this is a wonderful hotel to stay in. Again, the hotel and staff met or exceeded everything we could want for our trip to Rio. ##### Thaddaeus Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Spacious 5 suites penthouse with pool in Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Vrbo-Property.h44116982.Hotel-Information) > - [Sophia II Residence Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Buzios-Hotels-Sophia-II-Residence-Inn.h32984972.Hotel-Information) > - [Lapa Casa Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Lapa-Casa-Hostel.h33281112.Hotel-Information) > - [Gallant Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Gallant-Hotel.h9014875.Hotel-Information) > - [Windsor Martinique Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Martinique-Hotel.h1220713.Hotel-Information) > - [Augusto's Rio Copa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Augustos-Rio-Copa-Hotel.h82887.Hotel-Information) > - [Costa do Sol Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Buzios-Hotels-Costa-Do-Sol-Boutique-Hotel.h4698604.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel La Brise](https://www.expedia.ca/Buzios-Hotels-Hotel-La-Brise.h6494717.Hotel-Information) > - [Omar do Rio - Apartamento CobR](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Omar-Do-Rio-Apartamento-CobR.h30085510.Hotel-Information) > - [Samba Bossa Nova Ipanema](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Arpoador-Fashion-Hotel-By-Bossa-Nova.h15431016.Hotel-Information) > - [Majestic Rio Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Majestic-Rio-Palace-Hotel.h48041.Hotel-Information) > - [Pousada Praia do Jabaquara](https://www.expedia.ca/Paraty-Hotels-Pousada-Praia-Do-Jabaquara.h5326015.Hotel-Information) > - [Pousada Três Pescadores](https://www.expedia.ca/Buzios-Hotels-Pousada-Tres-Pescadores.h16337635.Hotel-Information) > - [Mirasol Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Mirasol-Copacabana-Hotel.h978558.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa 25 - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Villa-25.h16288454.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Alameda](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Alameda.h112140856.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Paranaguá Hotel & SPA](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Villa-Paranagua-Hotel-E-Spa.h94667770.Hotel-Information) > - [Hostel Maresias do Leme](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hostel-Maresias-Do-Leme.h75611701.Hotel-Information) > - [B&B Hotels Rio de Janeiro Norte](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-BB-Hotels-Rio-De-Janeiro-Norte.h60273664.Hotel-Information) > - [Sosama](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Sosama.h104217547.Hotel-Information) > - [Windsor Excelsior Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Excelsior-Copacabana.h43999.Hotel-Information) > - [Veneza Carioca Hotel Boutique](https://www.expedia.ca/Rua-Marina-Ponta-Leste.h96743199.Hotel-Information) > - [Barracuda Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Buzios-Hotels-Barracuda-Resort.h8078276.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa das Tartarugas](https://www.expedia.ca/Angra-Dos-Reis-Hotels-Casa-Das-Tartarugas.h108007957.Hotel-Information) > - [Rio Habitat Almirante](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Rio-Habitat-Almirante.h15758334.Hotel-Information) > - [Apartamento Estúdio na Praia de Charitas Niterói RJ](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Apartamento-Estudio-Na-Praia-De-Charitas-Niteroi-RJ.h99922230.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Nacional-Rio.h42275495.Hotel-Information) > - [Hostel Bella Ciao](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hostel-Bella-Ciao.h76599822.Hotel-Information) > - [Windsor Plaza Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Plaza-Hotel.h444671.Hotel-Information)
