The hotel is in a good location with some rooms facing the sea - however ours did not. Our room rate included breakfast for the Sunday and Monday morning and it provided a very impressive spread of food.

The actual room was large, clean and airy, although the hotel service did not really match up to what was expected. Bar service was slow and you had to ask at reception at some times of the day for service - not what you expect from a 4* hotel.

The hotel provides an underground car park (a bit expensive, but saves finding a car park space on the street) although you have to get your luggage out of the car fairly quickly as the lights are on a timer!

To sum up, this hotel did just what was required but did not really excel in any particular area.

Stayed at the Melia Maria Pita in September 2004.

Hotel is in the perfect location (right next to the beach) and is lovely looking. However, it was so noisy (we were right behind the maids room and the lifts) so all we heard was banging of doors & people walking up and down the stairs especially between about 8am-11am.

The rooms are very basic for a 4 star hotel, no iron, no kettle, the hairdryer is not worth being there and the floors were dusty.

There was also no information or prices available to hand for any of the services the hotel offered eg Sauna & massage etc so.

The reception staff also spoke very little English.

I would not stay at this hotel again.

Spent two nights here in August 2004 as part of a "wander" up the northern Spanish coast from Bilbao.

La Coruna is a beautiful large town and after finding the hotel at the far end of the promenade, we walked into a place of beauty.

The hotel staff were helpful, friendly and spoke very good English. Rooms with wooden floors were light and airy. Spotlessly clean everywhere.

Breakfast was good. Full range of foods we have come to expect for breakfast - fresh fruit, yogurts, meats, cheeses, croissants etc. Great start to your day!

The only drawback for us Brits is the time they start serving dinner. Some hotels and restaurants don't start serving until 9.30 which leaves you very full going to bed! Still, you can always eat lunch time and just have a snack at night!

All in all, we had a lovely stay at this hotel and would thoroughly recommend it without hesitation.
