Melia Athens

"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."

"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."

"Stayed overnight on a trip out of Athens and was happy it was only for a night. Service from staff was inconsistent. Breakfast was just okay, few options and scant even early in the breakfast service hours. One standout was the wonderfully comfortable beds. This is more of a residential neighbourhood with some quirks and most significant sites are not within easy walking distance. Fortunately, taxis are quite reasonable in Athens so if you prefer to be near the action, this isn’t really the place. Having stayed at other Melia properties, this one was a bit of a letdown."
