Melia Athens  

Rent och fint rum, sköna sängar och ett härligt badrum. Jättetrevlig personal. Fin utsikt från takets pool servering.

Området runt hotellet var inte så trevligt.

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

Spa and roomservice is good value for money

The rooftop pool and terrace were closed for the season. We could not go up for the view either.

Swimming pool on the top terrace with a view onto Acropolis, our bed was very comfortable

We stayed in room number 115. The weight instrument was not available. When asked in the reception, during discussion in the reception, Mr. Dimitris seemed to be irritated to give a satisfactory response.

The stuff is great very nice hotel clean and pleasent close to metro station

Area of he hotel not so good we were me and my mom and it is scary at night lots of junkiesjust out of the archological musem 2 blocks away
