Very clean and confortable. The.staff was great at checkin and took the time to point items of interest out on the map as well as answer any questions.
The hotel is excellent. The room was very comfortable, clean, and spacious, with lovely decoration. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is very pleasant and welcoming.
The staff were professional, friendly, and always helpful. We had a wonderful stay and felt very comfortable and relaxed throughout.
The location is also fantastic: just a few minutes’ walk from the city centre, yet without the hustle and crowds. The underground station is also only a few minutes away, which makes getting to and from the airport very convenient.
If you enjoy walking, you can easily reach all the main sights on foot — the furthest ones are about a 20–30 minute walk away.
I booked this hotel for my birthday trip and all I can say was it was absolutely AMAZING! The service from the beginning of the trip to the end was great. The men who checked me and my husband in were so kind and welcoming. The ladies Olga and Danae were so kind and helpful. They made the reservations for us for the restaurants and gave us amazing recommendations each night. They really made my birthday trip so enjoyable and stress free. I will definitely book again!
Friendly staff, food was good ( except coffee machines did not work well and dispensed lukewarm coffee). Conveniently located to Acropolis , restaurants etc. Mostly kudos to the staff.
The area of around hotel was ruff and a lot of writing on the wall. Almost every building had writing on it. The staff was very helpful and kind to English speaking people. This was our 4 time staying at a Melia property.
.
The room was great, and it was nice to have breakfast every morning. The hot tub on the roof with a view of the acropolis was awesome (closes Dec1). The neighborhood might be a deal breaker for some travelers. It was really not great. I was fine traveling with my husband, but I don’t think I would have been psyched to be in the Omonia area if I was traveling with a group of women.
The staff was pretty great. The interior of the hotel was really nice. It was like 80s money vibe we didn’t get to have the breakfast. It was our last day in Athens however something that it is challenging about this place is the location because it is in the center of downtown so if you’re gonna stay there just be mindful of not walking out late at night.

We enjoyed our stay at the lovely Melia Hotel. It was a close proximity to surrounding restaurants, pharmacy's etc.
Staff and cleanliness is excellent. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Lighting is dim and there are no bedside lamps, night stand or outlets by the bed.
We only stayed one night before our cruise to the Greek islands, Turkey and Malta, but the hotel was in a great location, the rooms were lovely, and we spent time at the rooftop pool and bar and had dinner at Cafe Mondo which was excellent! Great property!
The property is amazing, rooms were super clean and polished. The staff was super helpful and genuine in answering all our questions. The kitchen staff at the cafe and the breakfast buffet were super polite and nice. Def something you don’t get often in the states! Downtown Athens is like any other major city, loud and noisy. It is near many major bus stations and bus routes.
