Reviews
There were much friendlier members of staff later on in our stay, Olga for example lovely.
I soon realised that we were the youngest folk in the hotel, many of the guests are stopping over whilst on cruises. Suited me just fine! My girls are happy to do their thing and ignore everyone so they didn't notice until later in the trip. The elderly clientele were endearing. No argy bargy for the sausages.
I stayed at Melia Athens for five nights (Sunday to Friday) during a business trip. I paid €640 for a room without breakfast, and unfortunately the experience was far below expectations.
I arrived very late on Sunday night, around 1:30 AM, exhausted and just wanting to check in before early meetings the next morning. Instead, the reception insisted that I pay the full €640 upfront and that an additional €200 be blocked on my credit card for “potential consumptions or damages.” This created an unnecessarily stressful and unwelcoming start to the stay.
The first room I was given was extremely loud due to poor window insulation, making it almost impossible to sleep, even with the earplugs that I wore. After changing rooms, the second one—while quieter—was very cold and had a strong smell of mold.
Cleanliness was also a major issue: I found several long black hairs in the bathroom and even in the bed. The carpet was worn and visibly dirty, and the bathroom tiles looked old and tired. Overall, the hotel gives the impression that it has not been refurbished in decades.
I have stayed in many Melia hotels, especially in Luxembourg and Spain, and this property does not come close to the standard one would normally expect from the brand. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend Melia Athens.
We stayed recently and took a room on the 8th floor. It's a busy street below, so being so high it helps keep noise in the room to a minimum. Some aspects of the room are a little dated by modern standards, but everything is clean and tidy.
The staff are the stars in this hotel, both at reception, in the breakfast room, and the cleaning team. A couple of small items were missing from our room but were quickly delivered. Breakfast had a decent selection, although the coffee machines did seem to run out of milk frequently, so you had to ask the staff to top up. Also, please get a sharper knife to cut the bread with!
Although closed when we visited out of season in March, the rooftop pool area has fabulous views across the city - not to be missed.
Olga at the front desk will and can answer any question and her English is fantastic.
Gewrgia, roof top bar waitress is excellent and very funny,is the entertainment
When you go ask for Georgia, tell her you heard she was funny. The room was clean and comfy, changed plans to come here again in the way out.
