Albergaria-a-Velha Hotels & Accommodations

The staff's attention is quite satisfactory, the hotel is new and the facilities are well-cared and clean, but the images of the SPA are too generous to the reality. The fact that the SPA is in a part building with open air access by a rampa or stairs about 50 metres from the main building makes it unpleasant to use it in rain or cold weather days. A pool that has been locked up for a hotel of this size, deserves a review of the offer. With the hotel in full lotion, the use of the spa facilities is even a disappointment. Breakfast is of good quality and varied in the offer of viver.

The hotel is very close to the train station and it takes less than five minutes to walk, but the train has no sound that affects sleep. It is a kind of hotel that is not luxurious but very warm and comfortable, clean and tidy. The price is high, probably because it is the tourist area. This place has a town called Venice in Portugal.

Pillows are soft. When I woke up in the morning there was water on the bathroom floor from I don't know where. The shower is broken, with a lot of rust and the door has fallen off. The paintwork on the walls is in need of retouching, it has signs of normal wear and tear.

Idyllic, for relax**** and disconnect everything. Personal in great reception, all kindness. Full breakfast buffet, variety where to choose. Beautiful room with terrace, large and comfortable bed. I can't put sticks to anything from my stay there.

The restaurant and the bar had the greatest food, drinks, service and music! We enjoyed everything and every moment, it was only a birthday party celebration but it was the best, next year I will celebrate there again 😁🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!

Nice place to stay ,,, highly recomend

Needs live piano in evenings & better bar menu considering no room service . Not impressive breakfast . Highlight location . Towels in bathroom needs renewing & choice of toiletries in bathroom not great . Not all rooms great . Beds small . Pitty as with little care , it would be a great hotel

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.

Hotel that outdoor has a back paint and furniture and decoration is quite old but they have just renovated the rooms so it is now better. Wi-Fi is good, parking out is easy. Breakfast is a little floy, it should be improved.

This is a hidden gem in the center of it all! I was so impressed by the beauty of this hotel. I took a risk booking a boutique hotel, but I was pleasantly surprised by the service and beauty of this place. Everything was new and extremely clean. Wooden floors with just some small area rugs. I actually felt comfortable enough to walk around barefoot. I am very picky when it comes to cleanliness. We stayed in the Junior Suite Ria View room that overlooked the canal. It was quiet and extremely comfortable. The bathroom setup is a little unique. The shower is basically in the hallway and the toilet is in a room of its own. The shower was huge and was semi private. The only negative is that there was a very tiny sink area and there was no vanity space. It was very hard to do hair and makeup in such a little space. Toiletries were provided and there was even a flat iron and hair dryer. The room had many veranda glass doors that had wooden shutters for privacy and darkness. Free breakfast was on the rooftop and there was an honesty bar available throughout the day. We had a car and it was a bit of an inconvenience to get to the parking lot. We had to first park on the street and get the parking ticket from the front desk. Street parking is not easy, but we found a temporary spot. The parking garage is across a busy street. The hotel staff walked to our car to help us with the bags. Once the car was parked, we didn't need it. Everything was walking distance and there is a lot to do. The rooftop space has a beautiful view of the city. This is a very small and quaint hotel. You have an old school key with a keychain that you use to lock and unlock your room door from the inside and out. There is also a key to get into the hotel. The door is always locked so when you arrive you will need to knock. I wish we knew this ahead of time, we tried so hard to open the door that it seemed like we were breaking in to the place. :) I'm surprised at how inexpensive this hotel is because it is very luxurious. I have stayed at several expensive hotels that were not as nice as this one. I plan on staying here again. *Staff spoke English and were helpful. * Air conditioner worked great for a very hot day. * I felt safe walking around.
