Hotel da Gale

The room is very good, clean, convenient to park, and the location is excellent.

DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL !! I arrived at this hotel 12.15am to be told at the reception desk that we are down as a no show and that my room had been sold again. Prior to this we informed the hotel two weeks in advanced and then again a week later. I then asked to speak to a manager and was told no. I then said we have paid to stay here for a week bed and breakfast. We were told we were supposed to give 24hours notice before arriving and that we were not getting into the hotel and was told to find another hotel. I contacted ******* and they are currently investigating the hotel. We had to find another hotel and pay again for the week. I returned the next day to speak to the manager who was very arrogant and ignorant. He expressed no sympathy and said it was his policy. The hotel I found told me he does this on a regular basis to everybody and does not understand how he gets away with this as well as resell the rooms. I advise anybody to avoid this hotel. Check in opens 2 till 8 pm so any arrivals before 2 this time have to wait. If you arrive after 8 pm you are turned away and refused your stay.

AVOID AVOID UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. Where do I start? Hotel da Gale might be the worst place I’ve ever stayed — and I’ve been in hostels with actual rats. No air-con in the rooms in 30+ degree heat? That’s not budget travel — that’s borderline inhumane. The place smells like bleach, the pool looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the Euros, and the staff… well, don’t expect a warm welcome. Two of the guys working reception had an attitude like they were guarding the gates of heaven — staring everyone down, barking orders, not letting us bring anything into room. acting like letting guests bring food or a drink to their own room would collapse the hotel. Spoiler: it might — the place is barely standing as is. We lost our €60 deposit over damage that was already there when we checked in. Classic scam move. One of our mates showed up on the second night (booked, paid, name on the reservation) — and they still tried to block him from coming in. What kind of operation is this? The best part of the hotel? Leaving it. Or maybe the cracked tiles in the hallway — really adds that “abandoned asylum” aesthetic. I wouldn’t stay here again if it was free. Actually, I’d pay not to.
