Melia Athens

What we used and required was Ideal for our stay

Nothing was disappointing

I have been visiting this hotel for years and it is always a positive certainty. It is located a few steps from the metro station in Omonia square. Not exactly in the center but convenient for getting around by public transport. Professionalism of the staff at the reception, comfort of the bed, choice between different types of pillows, good wi-fi speed, winter heating more than enough. The courtesy set also includes slippers and bathrobes. Presence in the room of a docking station for the i-pod. I had a (appreciated) upgrade of the room type upon check in. Definitely recommended as an excellent option for business travel. For holiday stays, it is a bit out of the way to reach the main attractions.

Despite the upper level of the room, the bathroom is quite small. In detail, the door opening towards the inside of the room leaves only a small space to pass between the sink and the toilet (the shower, on the other hand, is very large and spacious). The costs of the minibar and breakfast are definitely expensive. Not absolutely considering the habits of four-star hotels but referring to the average of Athens and Greece, certainly yes. Around the hotel there are many bars and tea rooms where you can have excellent breakfasts at decidedly lower prices and dozens of newsstands where you can buy drinks and snacks at a paltry price if compared to that requested by the hotel.
