Hotel well situated overlooking lagoon, not far from shopping area and railway station. Breakfast and dinner within hotel very good value. Gym available but charge applies. Rooms facing canal also face railway line so train noise can be a worry if you save trouble sleeping. Rooms aren't that sound proof either. Overall though nice venue for a stop over. Aviero... More

We stayed one night at Melia Ria. The hotel block (one single block, literally) is perched on the edge of the river/canal and looks really cool and funky externally. The inside is pretty standard, design wise but overall it's a four star hotel with decent amenities. We enjoyed our time in the indoor pool as well. Nothing fancy about the... More

Only stay 1 night on business, but good night sleep and generous breakfast. The city center is only at 5-10 minutes walk, and the hotel surroundings are great for jogging. The hotel is on a new area of the city, with nice walks along the river and beautifull bridges. The hotel is literaly planted on the river and it seems... More

Stayed for 1 night on a business trip, convenient location, room was clean with good facilities, shower gels soaps etc and a mini bar with beers water and soft drinks, reasonably priced. Breakfast was good and extensive but the hot foods on offer were all cold and the self service coffee was poor.

Stayed at the Melia for a couple nights on a business trip. The hotel lobby isn't the best, and it definitely lacks some directions on the walls. The check in took long enough to bore me as there was only 1 member of the staff taking care of everything. The hallways outside the rooms have light sensors, the cheap ones,... More

Nice localization, modern hotel and good rooms, however there is a big drawback, the acoustic in the rooms. If you have someone in the room next to yours, you will listen absolutely everything coming from the other room. In such a new hotel and recent construction, building could have much better sound proofing. Besides this, all good.

Not the first time there.. The Hotel is nice, the staff very nice, but the Hotel as all, needs to improve in comfort in services, like internet and room temperatures control! An upgrade in beds and cousins, as well as bed linen would definitively help the upgrade quality the property deserves.

This hotel is modern and confortable, very well located in a quiet area but just a short walking distance from the city center. Breakfast and indoor pool are paid extra. Indoor pool is pretty warm, the only negative point is that it is very small, but since it's paid extra (10 euros) there aren't many people there. The exception is... More
