Melia Athens  

Buon rapportoqualità/prezzo ambiente elegante personale cortese

Catena alberghiera di standard medio alto, comodo x visite (museo 300 mt- parlamento 15 mm a piedi - piazza monastiraki, plaka - agora' romana e biblioteca 15 mm a piedi - salita e museo acropoli 25 mm a piedi), ottime vista acropoli e licabetto dalla terrazza co piscina (spratutto notturna), unico handicapp: l'hotel e' posizionato in una zona centrale frequentata da tossicodipendenti

Il lounge bar con piscina sul terrazzo dell'hotel, dal quale si gode una fantastica vista sul Partenone di Atene

Camere e bagno spaziosi, puliti e confortevoli. Colazione abbondante e variegata. Bella lounge sul tetto dell'hotel.

A causa del fatto che la reception è presidiata sempre da una sola persona, entrambe le volte in cui ho soggiornato in questo hotel ho dovuto attendere fino a 20 minuti per poter effettuare il check-in e il check-out. Da mettere in conto il giorno della partenza (abbiamo rischiato di peredere l'aereo.....). La zona è mal frequentata (soprattutto la sera) ma l'hotel è a pochi moniti di distanza dalla fermata della metro Omonia e percorrendo le vie principali nessuno ci ha mai importunato.

la vasca con l'idromassaggio e la possibilità di fare gratuitamente hammam e sauna.

la vasca non è mai stata pulita e nemmeno la moquette. le camierierie entrano quando vogliono se non si mette il cartello " do not disturb"

The Melia has a wonderful rooftop pool and bar, with great views to the Acropolis. The rooms are modern and comfortable and very clean. The hotel staff were very helpful giving us great restaurant suggestions and even booked our ferry tickets. Free wifi. Will be staying here again on out return through at the end of our trip.

The hotel is easily walkable to the plaka and Acopolis, which is great. I am just glad I was with my boyfriend as some of the streets surrounding are a bit rough. We even saw some people injecting heroine only a block from the hotel. Keep to yourself and they keep to themselves but just be aware.

Room comfort

I would seriously advise against anyone travelling to this hotel in the current climate. We had to cross streets full of very threatening men and gangs of Eastern European youths - drug use is openly happening on the streets here. All of the shops close as soon as the sun goes down . Frightening, very frightening and not safe area of athens.

The friendliness of staff

Location, although always felt safe, it's not located in a particularly nice part of town.

The friendliness of the staff as well as the overall quality of stay over there. It's truly a gem in down-town Athens, especially in Omonoia, where the quality of life has degraded the past few years.

Great stay with my wife and my 8 month old. The staff was superb, especially when I needed to contact an emergency doctor due to an unexpected illness that my baby developed. The doctor came promptly and his visit was followed up by Maria, a very competent manager, to check on us and reassure us that we could count on them for any issues. In addition to the staff, the location is great as it's a stone's throw from Omania Metro which will connect you to the many touristy areas in Athens. Although, I read about the area being in a rough neighborhood with drug activity and scary individuals, all I saw was some lost souls that need help badly. Anyway, traveling throughout Europe, I came away convinced that the Melia is certainly a steal, at least in wintertime.

My hotel room was generally good. The staffs are are helpful. I have a good impression about a waiter named Alexandros who I really appreciate for his friendliness and service attitude.

Very good location, 5 min walking from Omonia Metro station, don't need to pass the dangerous streets. Shower facility is great with Sauna function. The bed is very comfortable!

The famous terrace is closed during winter. Internet in room is not free, wifi in lobby is free, but slow and have to sit in the bar, which you are supposed by drinks there to use the wifi.

Good location, roof pool area (it was close for season but fb manager opened the roof for us to take few pictures), good dinner, good breakfast, really friendly personnel

Neighbourhood is not good for evenning/night walk alone - lots of young dopes, mornings are fine. Even though I put Dont disturb sign on the door I got my room cleaned and did not find the sign ever again. Breakfast is kind of expensive - 18 eur
