Hotel Melia Athens

A very nice hotel with good standards. The beds are comfy and it's quiet. The service is very helpful and polite. I was disappointed that the roof terrace was closed. It would be OK not to open the pool, but there should be no reason not to open the rooftop terrace. That was highly disappointing of a hotel that sells prominently this amenity on its website.

We recently stayed at Meliá Athens and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. We are already looking forward to our next visit! We stayed at the premium room, which was spacious, clean and comfortable, offering a great jacuzzi bath. The hotel’s amenities are top-notch. The rooftop pool is amazing, offering the perfect atmosphere to relax after a day of exploring the city. The dining options were equally impressive: the breakfast offered a delicious and varied selection every morning, and we had an incredible meal at the Italian restaurant. A special mention goes to Sarah at the Italian restaurant, who provided wonderfully warm and professional service that made our dining experience extra special. What truly sets Meliá Athens apart, however, is the remarkable hospitality. Above all, the attentive and welcoming service from every single staff member we encountered. Another heartfelt thank you goes to Olga and Danae at the front desk, whose kindness, professionalism, and helpful recommendations made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our stay. We had a lovely time and cannot wait to return. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Athens!

The Melia Athens was great. The location was within walking distance of the metro, National Archaeological Museum, and the Exarcheia. Room was nice, typical for a city hotel. The best was the rooftop pool and bar. Easy to see the Parthenon and Lycabettus Hill. The pool seem to close a little early (18:00), it would have been nice to cool off after a hot day sightseeing before dinner. Overall a great place.

Very nice hotel, good location although you have to walk like 15 to 20 minutes for the real city centre. Services are good, breakfast also complete and staff is very friendly. Bit noisy if you open the windows but closed it was okay. Only problem was that the pool that they promoted on the website was closed for an undefined period so, no swimming in the infinity pool. Besides that, good choice for price and quality.

Olga was extremely helpful and very kind! The rooms were clean. The shower/bathtub was great. The aircondition wasnt blowing that well but the window could be opened to solve the issue. Breakfast was good! The hotel is in a safe area with a supermarket just a 1-2 minute walk away! Overall a great stay! Thank you so much Olga and all the other staff members you're all great!

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel with our family. Special compliments to two women working at the reception who were incredibly kind and friendly. They connected so genuinely with our young daughter that she started calling them her friends. Our suite was spacious and comfortable for a family stay. The gym is very small, but it features new Technogym equipment, which is enough for a quality cardio session with a great view of the Acropolis. There are also a few dumbbells available. The location is good. Don’t pay too much attention to other comments. Everything is within walking distance, and we felt safe in the area even at night with a child. As for the downsides, the room is quite dated and some things did not work properly. The water pressure in the shower was weak, the bathtub only worked with the shower head, and although the TV itself is good, it is practically useless as there is no working internet or apps. You cannot watch YouTube or Netflix. The biggest disappointment was the housekeeping. During our four-night stay, the room was cleaned only once, and even then it was limited to making the bed. Used cups were not removed or replaced. On other days, despite us being out for 5–6 hours after breakfast, the room was still not cleaned when we returned. Housekeeping would come only when our child was already asleep. This is far below expected standards and does not match the price paid. The breakfast area is also quite small and crowded. Tables are not cleared quickly enough, and the food selection is limited and not in line with the overall level of the hotel. Despite all of this, we did enjoy our stay. Just don’t expect luxury.
