  Average for a 4****

  The hotel is on a noisy drive-through street of Athens. The rooms are thus either noisy or on the inside, into an inner court of 3m, where you just see the next well (then again you don’t go to Athens to stay in the hotel). The staff is nice and helpful which counts a lot. We liked a lot the roof terrace with the pool, from where you see across the city all the way to the Acropolis. There is also a bar there and a small SPA with a steam bath and sauna, both for about two people and when you book it’s just for you. Breakfast is good and efficient. Most important places in Athens can be visited by foot, although the hotel itself is not in one of the nicer areas.

  Lovely Hotel in a Central Location!

  We’ve just stayed for a week at the Meliá while we explored Athens and the surrounding area. We had a supreme room which was very well equipped with everything you could need, safe, fridge, plenty of storage space, etc. The room was very clean and serviced each day. We were on the first floor but weren’t disturbed by the traffic outside. The only thing I could be picky with is the breakfast, as depending on what time you arrive sometimes items are cold or there aren’t many clean tables. Other than that the staff are lovely, the bed is very comfortable, we even used the room service which was very good and arrived swiftly. I would definitely stay again. Short walk to most attractions and the hop on hop off buses have a stop a 5 min walk away.

  Great hotel & staff

  Stayed in August. Wonderful hotel. Rooms were lovely, staff friendly, loved the rooftop pool. And view of acropolis from there. Went for my son’s birthday. He loved it & thanks for his birthday wishes & bottle of bubbly in his room when we arrived. Taxis are cheap to get out & about. Can’t fault the hotel & staff. Thankyou again🤩would definitely return.

  Melissa Athens Stress Free Vacation

  We tell our Travel Agent we want a hotel in the heart of the city with breakfast buffet included or offered. Who wants to get up the first day of a trip and can’t find coffee and breakfast included the property! Melia Athens is an amazing property. Rooms have small fridge, lots of space for 2 people and their luggage. Buffet in the morning was a great spread of fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries. Plus meats, breads and cheese. Coffee machine where you can choose specific coffees The roof bar and pool were amazing with the view of the city. We ate lunch in the restaurant which shares small bites menu with the bar. All the staff from check-in, to food service were wonderful. We contacted the front desk via email before our trip. They were able to contract a cab to pick us up at the airport at 11:30 pm and also arrange service to our cruise ship at check out. Talk about a stress free visit.

  Melia is always a good idea

  We traveled as a couple in September. Chose the hotel for rooftop pool and location. We were not disappointed. Fabulous hotel, large, comfy rooms, cleaned daily, great amenities in room. One thing I will mention is the lighting. If you use the bathroom during the night, due to the glass panels in the bathroom the light shines brightly and directly into the bedroom. Also the bathroom door has massive gaps round the edge so not much privacy. On a more positive note the reception team were very helpful and welcoming. The rooftop pool is stunning, just what you needed after being out in the gorgeous weather, great views, good drinks and food. We did not eat in the restaurant or use the bar at night. A great 5 night stay was had. We would return. With regards to the area. Not as bad as some reviews say. Omonia metro is 5 mins away and you can get anywhere in Athens quickly and cheaply. The Omonia area was not the best to look at and after midnight it wasn’t the most busy but you just need to keep your wits about you.
