Beautiful hotel
28 Jul 2026
My husband and I had the privilege of staying at the Melia Ria for 8 nights in July 2026 during the JW International Convention. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make our stay so accommodating. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and clean as well as in a prime location of Aveiro. Walking distance to downtown and many restaurants. We truly enjoyed our stay. Meliã Ria, General Manager at Melia Ria, responded to this review Dear Guest,Many thanks for your kind comments and positive feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your recent stay with us and that our services and facilities met with your expectations. We hope to welcome you back sometime in the near future and thank you for your preference.Kind Regards and Best Wishes,Guest Experience Manager

Nice location
25 Jul 2026
We stayed at Meliá Ria Hotel & Spa with our family and friends for a few days and had an overall pleasant stay.The staff were professional and friendly, and the breakfast was good with a nice selection of food. The room was clean and comfortable.The only thing we would suggest improving is the extra bed in the triple room. It was not as comfortable as the main beds, so we hope the hotel will consider providing a more comfortable third bed for guests staying in triple rooms.Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel for its convenient location and friendly service.

Feels like being in LA not Portugal.
26 Jun 2026
Well located but deceptive. Confortable and clean rooms, but rather expensive for Portugal. Despite the hetfy price, there's no coffee maker in the room, you pay extra to access the pool (!) and they charge 35€ for a dog.

Poor sleep , woken at 3am
20 Apr 2026
This is a mixed review Welcome and helpfulness of staff on check in was brilliant. We had the type of room we’d requested and super helpful with the parking We stayed two nights and the breakfast was very good with a lovely view over the basin ( be even better if eggs cooked fresh ) WiFi air con all good My issue with hotel if paying premium prices it’s reasonable to expect a good nights sleep. In fact it’s why you stay ! We were woken by about 30 + students singing on adjacent steps at 3am !! Not the hotels fault , but it was so loud that whole side of hotel without doubt would have been disturbed. My expectation is security immediately move on these people and call police This went on for 10 minutes at least On check out 2 members of staff 1 got it and was empathetic enough to remove parking fee. ( that meant something ) The other was , did you call down to reception? Answer No need as it was so loud , you needed to sort immediately ( little empathy ) Location of hotel is great , easy walk into town So its impossible for us to know if this is typical antics from local students but x2 nights disturbed sleep ?? is a shame as hotel has many things in its favour Meliã Ria, General Manager at Melia Ria, responded to this review Dear Guest,We would like to express our gratitude for selecting our hotel to stay in Aveiro!Thank you for having taken the time to rate us concerning your recent stay at Meliã Ria Hotel & Spa.

Lovely stay during coastal cycle trip
03 Jun 2025
This was a very good hotel for our needs. Location is away from the main city centre but only a 15 min walk and as it is canal side there is a pleasant aspect. We had a great stay, room very comfortable, good shower, nice eco touches with a nod to sustainability.The lift was slow and one out of action. Firm beds which suited us.The restaurant was delicious, we wanted an easy option after a day of cycling and the food was sublime, especially the duck and the local dessert. Breakfast was plentiful and lots of choices.Staff were very helpful with our bike storage. Meliã Ria, General Manager at Melia Ria, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you very much for your kind comments about our staff and Hotel!We are most pleased to know you enjoyed your stay with us.We look forward to your next stay at our Hotel or any other hotel of Meliã Hotels International.Kind Regards,Guest Experience Manager
