    Please avoid the location is in a bad area of Athens.

    The location of this hotel is not a good area according to the taxi drivers and general opinion. I didn’t feel safe walking around. The hotel’s air conditioning did not switch on and after many complaints they provided a fan. The main reason is that the hotel only switches their air conditioning well into the summer. The pool was unusable due to Greek laws and when the hotel is able to let guests use it.

    Good hotel to base yourself in Athens

    Me and my wife where in Athens for a football match between Greece and Scotland, and both of us had really wanted to see Athens for many years (our only trip to Greece had been to Rhodes back in 2008) and were not going to pass up a chance to see the city. Athens is a strange set up of a city, as what you would consider the centre of the city is not what the locals consider it to be, and none of the hotels near the tourist attractions were taking my fancy. After searching around we were both hooked on the Melia Hotel. Located a stones throw from Omonoia Square, and with good metro access, it suited our needs. Only real disappointment was the roof top pool and bar does not open until May, but we went for a look one night and the view of Athens was really stunning. We arrived at Athens Airport around noon, and while there was public transport options, the price of a Uber was only 10 Euros more than the Metro, and in the heavy afternoon Athens traffic it took us 50 minutes or so to get to the hotel from the airport. Lovely modern hotel, and staff are excellent who will help to get you checked in to your room in no time. My initial thoughts were that the hotel felt more dated than the pictures and photos let on, and yet it didn't have a bad feel about it, and almost a retro feel to it. Room was very spacious with a nice large bed. Only issue was that for March, the room did seem to get very warm no matter the time of day, and the AC seemed to have very little effect, as well as being rather noisy. Area around the hotel can be a little to be desired, as you only need to walk down a street or two and suddenly you are in a area full of Communist and Anarchist Bars, which I found rather cool at first, but at night time the charm does ware off fast. Breakfast was a real plus, as while not a large selection, there is plenty of options that you will get something to your taste, and the kitchen staff keep it coming, so its always hot. For exploring the city, you are probably a 20-25 minute walk to the likes of Monastiraki Square and Syntagma, but also you are only 1 or 2 metro stops from all the major tourist attractions in the city. All in all really pleased with this hotel and would certainly make it my choice of accommodation for any future visits to Athens.

    O.K HOTEL FOR A SHORT STAY BEFORE A CRUISE!

    Did a short stay at this hotel before a cruise out of Piraeus. It was our second stay in this hotel. Professional and warm welcome as members with Melia. Our room was comfortable and clean, however the mattress I found on the very soft side. Very nice roof-top pool area with views to Akropolis. The price was O.K. Easy to get a taxi outside, flat taxi fare from the hotel to the cruise port in Piraeus was 25 Euros, the hotel ordered one for us. Taxi flat rate from the airport to the hotel was supposed to be 40 Euros, but the driver demanded 50 Euros after leaving the airport! However, I would gladly use this hotel on my next trip to Athens if for a short stay before a cruise. And the reason for saying short stay, is because of the location of the hotel. The location is central yes, but not in a nice area of town - the neighbourhood looks rather ugly and it didn't feel safe to walk around, our taxi driver also warned us that the neighbourhood was not safe (as they did the last time we stayed here), so we spent our the time in the hotel.

    Modern hotel in the city center with great facilities and warm, friendly and helpful staff

    I stayed there for about 3 nights. Excellent hotel and very well trained, professional and friendly staff. Hotel felt modern and everything was clean. Breakfast quality also very good. Located in the main part of Athens.. a bit of a walk from Plaka etc. but still worth it. The only 2 complaints i have are that the shower area was really small and I did not get a room with a good view. Overall would surely recommend this hotel.

    Very nice

    Great hotel in a convenient location despite not being very centric, but well connected with the metro or 15 miin walk from the city center. The building in general is modern and the room had eveything we expected and more. The employees at reception were very nice and friendly and the cleaning service was excellent. The toilet was very well-equiped, the bed was comfortable and the room felt very cozy Above all, the main highlight for us were the rooftop pool and jacuzzi, with great views over the city. We will get back here undoubtedly in our next visit to Athens
