Everything from staff to the appearance to cleanliness to breakfast was awesome. We also each had a massage. Wonderful! Only disappointment was the pool was not a single due to construction. It is close to mega shopping and lots of restaurants and of course the river. We had a river view and loved riding in and watching the Gondolas. We will definitely stay there again. Also We arrived on my husband’s birthday and we went out to dinner and when we returned back to our room the staff had left a tray of fruit and parties and a bottle of wine with a birthday card. An excellent touch. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/06c0891a-6822-4666-8a8e-cdfd7568ebc1-1756399001391.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4d782763-f2e8-40a6-a7a0-1b1fa800bcfc-1756399003859.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61d918bc-f7e8-447b-aaac-c23fefc14d14-1756399004956.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d9a67df5-36e1-4310-8b43-a01814499f8f-1756399004606.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Martha Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Armando Sep 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very good location walkable to main attractions & shopping ##### Armando Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### karen Jan 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Breakfast is good.

We loved it ##### José Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth Jan 26, 2024 Great location for interacting with the city, birdwatching at the salt fields, and collaborating with the university. The rooms are hot at night Note that the windows open to let in cool air. ##### Kenneth Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### ELIZABETH May 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Melia Ria has a perfect location, just a few minutes walk from the main attractions in this small town. The hotel is an excellent option when you are doing a road trip through Portugal, we were doing Porto to Lisbon and chose this stop to enjoy this small but charming town and also Costa Nova, pretty close to there. The facility is good, it has a good restaurant and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The parking of the hotel is very small and annoying, but there are options for free in the neighborhood, honestly, trying to use the underground parking that they will charge daily was a waste of time. ##### ELIZABETH Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Eduardo Nov 7, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you want to use pool or gym there is a 15€/hour fee you have to pay. If you want to park you pay 9€/day. There are much better options for the same price, unfortunately I didn’t notice this before booking. Employees were very rude, very different from what I was expecting of a premium service. Rooms are old and not very well cleaned. On the more positive side bed is comfortable and breakfast is amazing. ##### Eduardo ### 8/10 Good #### Linda May 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This seems most like a conference hotel. Perfectly nice, nice breakfast, nice spa and workout room, where we had very nice massages, nice staff. While the canal ends at the hotel, it is not very scenic. If we hadn't needed a king bed, an elevator and a/c, we would have looked for something more traditional near the original canals. Also, we made the mistake of thinking a canal boat ride would take us past the striped boat houses, but it doesn't. (Poor research on our part.) They are in Costa Nova. No real reason to visit Aveiro unless you can do a day trip to Costa Nova. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gilbert Sep 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location, staff, and property conditions were excellent. My only complaint is that expectations should be set when booking. Great pics of the pool were shown, but they don't tell you the pool must be reserved for you to use it. We were a large party and found it disappointing. Second, let us know water is only free in the room the first day. If I would have known, I would purchase water for the room. We woke up in the middle of the night extremely thirsty, with no water. ##### Gilbert Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathie Nov 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay, highly recommend! The location was great, very walkable to shops and restaurants. We appreciate the covered parking which was very secure. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and extra pillows were available. There was plenty of closet and storage space. We appreciated having coffee/tea available in the room with the kettle. The bathroom was clean with a very nice shower and good size countertop for storing toiletries. One of the best things was the restaurant and bar in the hotel. We enjoyed a light meal at the bar the night of our arrival; friendly service and excellent food. The breakfast buffet was terrific, great food quality and selection. The full english breakfast was a special treat that we don't get to enjoy very often. Food items were fresh, replenished regularly and staff kept tables clean between guests. Staff members were friendly, polite and helpful. ##### Cathie Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gennaro Aug 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I always stay at this place, the best in the area. ##### Gennaro Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Beatriz Sep 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities We stayed for 21 days and the second day the pool was closed for renovations. Perhaps they should have chosen January or February to do that not July and August. They also didn’t let me know when I booked that the pool would not be available. ##### Beatriz Stayed 21 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Colleen Oct 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Air conditioning was not working in our room hotel unable troubleshoot the problem so they brought us a portable fan. We were offered a room change for our 2nd night but we had to pack everything up to move rooms…too much bother for us. Also we arrived at the hotel around noon but were told that our room would definitely not be ready before 3pm after a long day of travel this was very disappointing. ##### Colleen Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### eduardo May 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great stay. ##### eduardo Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Coors Field](https://www.expedia.ca/Coors-Field-Hotels.0-l500924-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Octant Douro](https://www.expedia.ca/Castelo-De-Paiva-Hotels-Douro41-Hotel-Spa.h2664012.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantic Host Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bathurst-Hotels-Atlantic-Host-Hotel.h528232.Hotel-Information) > > [The Amsterdam Canal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Amsterdam-Hotels-The-Amsterdam-Canal-Hotel.h5952705.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Sundre](https://www.expedia.ca/Sundre-Hotels.d6238427.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178296-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Toronto Markham](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Toronto-Markham.h871090.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Akumal-All-Inclusive.h869980.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cebu City](https://www.expedia.ca/Cebu-City-Hotels.d800.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Brantford](https://www.expedia.ca/Brantford-Hotels.d6245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Lund](https://www.expedia.ca/Lund-Hotels.d6124914.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mi Amor by La Zebra, an SLH Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tulum-Hotels-Mi-Amor-Adults-Only-Colibri-Boutique-Hotels.h9227252.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Omaha (OMA) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/oma/yyz/omaha-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mnl/toronto-to-manila) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/fll/halifax-to-fort-lauderdale) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Belgrade (BEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/beg/vancouver-to-belgrade) > > [Air India Vancouver (YVR) to Delhi (DEL) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-india-from-vancouver-intl-to-indira-gandhi-intl/ai/yvr/del) ### Activities ### Packages > [Italy Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Italy.d86.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Sequoia National Park Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Sequoia-National-Park.d6084619.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/romantic-vacations/31/Canada) > > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [African Lion Safari](https://www.expedia.ca/African-Lion-Safari-Hamilton.d6089383.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Campbell River Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Campbell-River.d6058391.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals
