This hotel is definitely not in the best area of Athens, but if You've visited Any big city, it won't be a big deal. Same rules apply as they do everywhere else..just be mindful of your surroundings. Everything about this hotel from the service, to the rooms, to the laundry service, to the rooftop pool were absolutely exquisite. I would... More

I travelled with a group and we were booked into a terrible dreary hotel not far from here. I decided to have lunch in this hotel on the way back from the Archeological Museum and the staff were great, the hotel was beautifully finished and kept to a very high standard, and the food was delicious. I only wish we... More

We stayed for 3 nights during our visit in Athens. Room 708. What we like the most are: 1. The room smells nice everyday. This is my favorite. 2. The jacuzzi in the bath. 3. Friendly and helpful receptionist. They smile every time and they know what they are doing. 4. Easy access to tourist attractions such as acropolis. 5.... More

Well, we arrived early from a cruise, we were met outside the door, our bags were handled and our room was ready. We received all the necessary info about the hotel and a map to direct us to an on/off bus location among other locations. The staff were very helpful and gave us great directions. The on/off bus stop is... More

An amazing hotel. The only 2 things it would do different, was that you have to pat for wifi in the rooms, and it is a 10 min. walk from all the restaurants and shops. But an amazing hotel, very nice, and large rooms, and the pool is amazing, but come early if you want a lounge chair by the... More

After reading the reviews from some of the people that have previously booked the Melia Athens, I assumed the area would be like downtown Beirut or maybe the Bronx. Nothing could be further than the truth. Trust me; if this area worries you, you shouldn’t ever walk out of your front door. I walked to the Hotel from the Metro... More

Hotel was clean, modern and helpful staff. Room was small but had a sweet washroom and overall was very comfortable. Good restaurant with free wifi. There are lots of cafes, stores, restaurants in the area during the day. 15-20 minute walk to decent tourist areas. Staff was helpful but I wouldn't say they went above and beyond my expectations.

The Melia Athens is a good solid hotel - nothing exiting but also nothing wrong. Perhaps the really exciting part of it the roof top terrace and pool was closed for maintenance - which is a good thing, that it is well maintained, I was just too unfortunate to stay right then. The location is good, within walking distance to... More
