I had a mixed experience at Vila Gale Opera. the location near the river and the beautiful 25 April bridge was a highlight, but the noise from trains and the busy road was distracting. The breakfast was fantastic with a variety of options, yet the staff seemed overwhelmed at times. My room was decent but could use some updates.

My stay at Vila Gale Opera was quite disappointing. While the breakfast had a great variety and I enjoyed the live opera performances that added a unique touch, the room issues overshadowed those positives.
