Meliá Athens

Prós: Well appointed, great staff, great value for the amenities offered.

Contras: Parking can be a hassle but didn't prove a problem on this trip.

Prós: Found the hotel & booked it only a few days in advance. Upon arrival we were all upgraded to rooms with Jacuzzi's. The staff was outstanding- especially the Hotel Employee who was like a personal concierge.

Contras: No really.

Prós: Modern and comfortable hotel, Nice rooms, good service. Nice view from the rooftop terrace/pool

Contras: Neighbourhood. We felt a little insecure to walk in the neighbourhood after dark but you can always grab a cab and you will not get any problem

Prós: The entire staff, from the Hotel Desk, breakfast staff, house keepers, were very welcoming, friendly and assisted with a smile when asked..The cleanliness of the room,amenities were top notch. Breakfast was excellent.

Contras: Room was a little hot/stuffy.

Our departure in Athens would had been severely delayed if it wasn't for the Front Desk staff & manager who went out of their way to accommodate everything we need after we were robbed of our Passports/IDs. Although the neighborhood is rough and shady, use common sense caution and you will be fine. Ask for a room facing the rear; although no view, you will sleep like a baby in full silence as the street noise is heavy on the road facing rooms.

Prós: The staff at Melia Athens Hotel are some of the best I have experienced. We had our personal bag stolen by swipe & run thief while visiting the Acropolis - losing all our money, credit/bank cards, and passport/IDs. The front desk staff came thru for us.

Contras: The bed are a bit uncomfortable and old. The location of the hotel is a double-edged sword; close to the Metro, but graffiti soaked neighborhood makes you feel like in a 3rd world country.

Wifi is only available in the lobby and the rooftop; you have to pay for it while in your room so I opted not to.

Prós: The cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff and the rooftop with the acropolis view for relaxation at night.

Contras: The location was ok.
