Hotel Melia Athens (Athens, Greece)

Equipped with a bar and pool, the rooftop terrace at the Meliá Athens hotel is a favorite with summertime guests. In addition to being a great place to unwind, the terrace also offers stunning views of the Acropolis and Mount Lycabettus. That view improves twofold at sunset.

Guests report that rooms and suites at the hotel are a good size, with plenty of room to maneuver. Furnishings, décor and amenities are described as modern, whilst the hotel in general is considered clean.

Omonia metro station, which serves Lines 1 and 2, is a five minute walk from the hotel. This short walk makes it easy for guests to transfer across Athens and see the city's magnificent tourist attractions.

Whilst many guests thoroughly enjoy their stay at Meliá Athens, some report that the neighborhood immediately surrounding the hotel is rundown, which can prove intimidating. Graffiti is prevalent and some visitors relate tales of pick-pockets prowling the street.

Past guests have criticized the cost of in-room Wi-Fi, which is said to be on the steep side. Wi-Fi in the lobby is free, which in turn leads to a lot of bodies taking up space as they take advantage of internet access.

Meliá Athens is located beside a busy junction. As such, guests have reported that noise levels on lower level rooms can make it hard to relax and sleep. That being said, guests staying above the fourth floor generally receive a quiet night.
