"The hotel was in a convenient location with onsite parking. While the hotel might be getting a little dated, it was clean and very well maintained. The pool was a great reprieve from the heat."
"Villa Gale Tomar has updated a gorgeous historic location along the Nabao River while still honoring it's historic charm. We booked a room with a balcony facing the outside pool and river, and were more than pleased with our accommodations. The hotel has ample parking in the prettiest parking lot I have ever used, only 1 block across the river to the downtown main street, and is full of elegant charm!"
"Well positioned. Just don't trust Google maps as it doesn't show you that you go across the little bridge through a park and the hotel is just at the end of the little park. We had a wonderful stay. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about local events."
"Wow! Quelle belle surprise pour nous. L’hôte était très gentille et accueillante. La suite, la piscine, la terrasse avec vue sur le château, c’était parfait! Nous recommandons vivement!"
