convenient location, beautiful rooms

Reviewed By KimBocaRaton_Florida

Probably due to construction going on across the street ( looks like an urban park underway), the front desk staff upgraded us to a huge suite. We had terraces and views in several directions. Suite was huge and very comfortable. More amenities than we even could use. Staff was helpful and cordial; even helping us get our rental car parked out front. Breakfast was a nicely presented and bountiful buffet. Decor is somewhat over-the-top, but I found that to be part of the fun. Location is totally convenient in central historic Aveiro with its canals and restaurants, etc.

Very late check in

Reviewed By enncle

My partner and I booked for 2 nights. Using a website which stated check in was 2.30 pm we were told to return at 3.30/4 pm. It was actually after 4 when we were given our room. Room 317 is directly above reception. Which late night and early mornings were part of your stay. The guy especially who was working at the time liked to chat, especially to people passing on the street. So if you like quiet refuse this room. Room was small but clean. Bathroom the same. Very few power points in this room, another furniture removal escapade. Air on hood. We didn’t order breakfast . Location is fantastic though, aswell as the car parking. Park infront of hotel and book in. They open the gate a little further along from hotel. Very safe.

Exceptional service

Reviewed By yvertd

I am really surprised to have seen a few negative reviews about this hotel and especially about the service. We had an excellent experience and we found all the staff - Front of House, bar staff and housekeeping were great. The Front of House staff always greeted us with a smile and did whatever they could to help us. We couldn't ask for more. I would definitely recommend Melia Ria and it will certainly be my first choice when I return.

Quiet, boutique hotel near to all

Reviewed By jlynyc

Short walk to the town center and where you can take a Moliceiro boat through the canals. Small elevator (one person, one small bag?) but the rooms were clean, bright and comfortable. We had a room at the front and slept with the window open - not a peep until the birds in the morning. The hotel has 3 parking spots in front and a pay parking lot just behind the hotel. We were graciously provided a private parking garage in a home behind the hotel, free of charge. Very nice stay, accommodating staff. Save 1 euro per peson by booking a Moliceiro boat tour from the front desk. The tour is pleasant on a nice day. Suggest taking a ride to Costa Nova to see the beautiful beach and striped beach houses.

Highly recommended

Reviewed By Bokkop

I don't know why this hotel has low ratings; perhaps because there is some ongoing refurbishment? (I saw an apologetic sign but never was inconvenienced). For me this is an excellent deal; a well run and friendly hotel in easy walking distance from where I want to be, yet in a quiet neighbourhood with free parking in the street, all at a very good price.

Great location, clean room with the best bathroom!

Reviewed By The_Travel_Bunch

Friendly staff, clean room with plenty of space and a huge bathroom with 2 showers, 2 sinks and a toilet which is great for a family of 4. Only thing we wished for was that the central courtyard was a small pool. We opted out of breakfast which seemed expensive compared to what we could get from a café around the corner though we didn't see what was on offer. All in all would recommend this as a place for families to stay, it really worked for us.

Perfect little hotel

Reviewed By joelp665

The hotel is quite central to Aveiro. A walk away from all interesting spots in the city. Outside it is a very simple looking building, but very well maintained. It is in a quiet neighborhood. You can find parking easily around the hotel. When you go inside, it looks like a larger hotel, cosy and welcoming. The staff is attentive and warm. The room was huge, with a large window overlooking the canal. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The bed was great, with a very confy mattress and soft linen. We had space to hang our clothes and leave our bags. The was a full body mirror in the room. Internet was free and available everywhere. The breakfast was simple but good. You could get every type of coffee from the self service machine, various types of bread, cold meats, cheese, fresh cheese, fruits, very good croissants. We will comeback.
