Upon check-in, the reception staff was amazing. We were early so they held our luggage. Very easy process. The pool hours are limited. We had dinner on the rooftop. We were disappointed in the menu choices and the view of the Acropolis was not as expected. The morning buffet breakfast was good. The rooms were very clean. We felt that the room was not worth the amount we paid.
Great customer service, easy check-in. Hotel is clean and within walking distance from major sites. I would've liked the gym and pool to have more flexible hours
Spent a couple of days in Athens before catching the ferry and we could not have found a better place to stay.
Highlights: we found all the staff to be uniformly outstanding: professional, highly efficient, thorough, helpful and friendly. The location is pretty good, though perhaps very slightly further from the metro (Omonia) than we were expecting. We thought that the roof top pool, bar and restaurant were excellent and we had a very enjoyable late dinner there.Thank you.
Our room was very clean and well kept and everything worked fine - though if you've traveled much in Europe you won't be surprised by the coziness. The bathroom was wonderful, with great amenities.
Any issues? Not really. There are closer hotels to The Plaka / Acropolis / Syntagma etc... but we easily walked (a lot) and caught the metro everywhere else. In addition the trip down to Pireaus with large cases was not any issue either.
All in all a very memorable and suitably relaxing stay and we would definitely recommend this hotel.
We enjoyed the hotel, but were disappointed the rooftop restaurant had not opened yet. Also the pool bar was enjoyable, but the staff (including managers) did not seem interested in customers….took over 45mins to get a 2nd round of drinks while sitting at the bar
Nice hotel, good service except in the restaurant where we were often ignored. For example after being shown a table no-one came back with menus until I eventually got someone attention.
Also disappointed that the restaurant on the terrace was closed and the pool had reduced opening hours. Also main bar was closed.
This should be advised when booking as the facilities were not as advertised and would have made us consider other hotels if known in advance.

"I chose the hotel for the gym. For a hotel of its category, the space was very small, with few machines, and the main one was broken. There was no water available, and when there finally was, there were no cups. In the restaurant, you had to wait due to limited space, and the food was very basic. I won't choose it again."

We enjoyed our stay at the lovely Melia Hotel. It was a close proximity to surrounding restaurants, pharmacy's etc.
El agua para tomar te la venden y es muy cara, cuesta 6 veses mas que afuera del Hotel en mi opinion deberian por lo menos cobrar el boble o triple el precio de fuera del hotel y no 6 veses
