Meliá Maria Pita

Arrived by car and was met by a lovely potter at the front door. A lovely welcome. Checked in early to our 6th floor room with balcony overlooking the bay. Brilliant. Need to be agile for the spiral staircase. Car park is huge with tons of spaces left between the cars so parking is easy. Other hotels should follow this example. |A beautiful hotel with very helpful staff.

I've stayed in a lot of Melia hotels over the years and the Maria Pita doesn't disappoint. Comfy beds, good standard of room and facilities throughout, very helpful staff and solid if not exceptional breakfast. The location is great for anyone wanting to take in A Coruna on foot, all the key areas and attractions are walkable. Its also across the street from the beach which is great.

Spent two nights here at the end of May as part of a long weekend in Galicia. We arrived by train from Santiago de Compostela, and instead of getting a taxi from the station to the hotel we instead decided to walk as it was a warm and sunny day. After a 45-minute walk we arrived at the hotel, and despite it being early afternoon we were able to check in to our room.||Whilst the hotel overlooks Playa del Orzan our room unfortunately did not face the beach, but we did not find this an issue. It had two large twin beds, which were very comfortable, and was decorated in a contemporary style. The room was a good size with a large amount of clothes storage space, a quality TV and excellent wi-fi. There was a safe provided which we did not use as we found the instructions complicated, and unusually for a Spanish hotel there were tea and coffee making facilities.||The bathroom was also a good size, with dual sinks and ample storage space for toiletries. There was a powerful shower and the shampoo and soap provided were of a high standard. Towels were changed daily and the bathroom was kept immaculately clean during our stay.||We had breakfast in the hotel each day, and having stayed in other Melia hotels in Spain knew what to expect. The choice and quality were good, with a mix of local and international options on offer. The hotel seemed full during our stay but we did not have to wait for a table each morning.||As mentioned previously the hotel is well located in front of the main beach in A Coruna- during our stay the weather was good and so we spent time sunbathing on the golden sand. It is also well located for other attractions, with the Torre de Hercules a half an hour walk away, and to get to the old town is takes 20 minutes. There is also a supermarket called Autoservicios Familia a few minutes walk away, and this has a good range of food and drink. Nearby we also found a great cafe called Miss Maruja which would highly recommend.||For a short stay in A Coruna the Melia was a great option and would recommend staying here.

We had booked two rooms here. Wonderful rooms with sea view. Breakfast is great. Beach is just accross the street. City centre 5 min. walk. Staff is very friendly. All in all we had a fantastic stay here. A special thanks to the american-icelandic valet who parked the car and helped is with our luggage.

PRO'S: The Melia Maria Pita hotel in A Coruna, Spain is a modern hotel located on the beautiful western bay beach. We made the mistake of reserving a room with a balcony which was on the floor above which was not convenient. The hotel changed our rooms and we still had a beach view. We used hotel parking, had an excellent free breakfast and good service. CON'S: Make sure you understand the balconies are a small stairwell climb to the floor above. SUMMARY: The Hotel Melia Maria Pita is an excellent choice for relaxing in A Coruna, Spain

Great Hotel, Great location and Friendly staff!! If you can, book the ocean view rooms, you'll love it!! Would definitely stay there again!!!

Simply beautiful! Perfect location front beach and few steps to the center. The city is lovely, btw. Service is good, especially valet service. Only the breakfast room was loud and not very cosy. Breakfast was very good, though.

This is a hotel you would return to for a reason it is pure class even on arrival to water and a spa close to reception - roof top bar nice food amazing view - rooms with views … rooms are high end .. it’s a treat - beautiful restaurants part of Melia across on the beach

I have to admit that I did not experience any of the shortcomings that some of the other reviewers experienced. Instead, I experienced a very friendly staff in nice eclectic hotel setting. I believe the hotel is located in a retrofitted old building that was turned into a hotel. Why? Well I was on the 6th floor and as soon as I entered my room I had to climb a metal spiral staircase that went into my room? How did I get my heavy suitcase up that winding staircase? Very slowly!?! But, hey, I understand in Europe they are not as quick as we are to demolish beautiful old buildings. Which I believe is great because at the same time you are helping to preserve a piece of history. The staff was very hospitable and informative. I took the staff up on some of their restaurant recommendations and I was just blown away at how great of a food location that Coruna is. Most notably, steak from the blonde Gallego bulls which is even better than wagu beef from Japan. Yes, its true, better than wagu beef! Moreover, the seafood here is simply outstanding and better yet the prices were on the cheap side for what I received!! Fantastic eating out value! Room service was excellent. The food delivered to my room was actually very good. Also, my booking included free breakfast which I also loved. Moreover, Coruna served as a jump off point to visit Santiago De Compostela which was only a 40 minute train ride away. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to walk like all of the other thousands of pilgrims visiting. Back to my hotel stay, I highly recommend this place if you find yourself on your way this corner of Espana.

This Melia falls well below its own aspirations. They explained that they turn off the hotel's AC chiller at 1am and the room gets fairly muggy. The WiFi and hot water are chronically unreliable. The walls are thin and heavy wood doors plus faux wood floors means that any loud footstep will wake you up. We eventually resorted to earplugs although I am a very sound sleeper generally. The Laundry and Parking are pricey and they are not helpful in finding you any alternatives to their prices. Luckily I found a nearby dry cleaners that saved me about $60 USD over the hotel. Lastly, the bathroom had very shoddy work, broken tiles, and a broken shower head meant to adjust, but it kept sliding down. There are better alternatives for the money.
