Top São José Hotel Reviews

Vila Gale Collection S. Miguel Hotel

Vila Gale Collection S. Miguel Hotel

8/10 Good
"Pros: Beautiful property. I love the concept of converting a historic hospital into a hotel. Very clean and comfy rooms. The staff is very helpful, and packed breakfast for us on our early departure day. Love, love, love the beautiful pool in the courtyard. Very clean/clear water in the ~20 meter pool. I was able to do some lap swims in a refreshing pool, it's not heated, just the way I like it. Cons: Breakfast can improve a bit, not a lot of variety. The egg/ pancake station is nice but slow and has a long line. Maybe more people needed working it? The toaster is a problem, one side not working the 3 breakfast we attended... Need an industrial, conveyor style toaster to meet the demand. Being a historic building, I wish there were more explanation or display of facts and information about the building and hospital."
