MELIA ATHENS ^{* * * *}

Θα θέλαμε να εκφράσουμε τις εγκάρδιες ευχαριστίες μας στην διοίκηση του Hôtel Melia Athènes, που μας δέχτηκαν για μια εκπαιδευτική επίσκεψη! Συγκεκριμένα, ολόθερμα ευχαριστούμε την κυρία Αλεξάνδρα Σαμαρά Human Resource, την κυρία Χαρά Γκιρτζή Sales Executive, τον κύριο Θεοδωρόπουλο Θάνο F.O. Supervisor και την κυρία Μπερίσα Μαρία GEX, για την πολύπλευρη ενημέρωση και ξενάγηση στους πολυτελής και κομψούς χώρους του ξενοδοχείου στο κέντρο της Αθήνας, με τις εξατομικευμένες υπηρεσίες και την εκπληκτική θέα στην Ακρόπολη!!!
Οι εκπαιδευόμενες και εκπαιδευόμενοι της ειδικότητας «Στέλεχος Μονάδων Φιλοξενίας» Δ΄ εαρινό εξάμηνο 2024 του Σ.Α.Ε.Κ. Ζωγράφου και οι Εκπαιδευτές, Κατερινόπουλος Άρης & Σμαράγδα Δεληκώστα.

It was with great excitement that we decided to book this hotel for our stay but we left with a significant disappointment at the end of our stay... Never again!

The hotel is fully advertised as having an amazing rooftop terrace and view on the Acropolis. Result: terrace closed for renovation during our stay... no mention whatsoever on the Melia website while booking our stay nor a separate email to pre-inform us about this situation. I am glad I also asked otherwise I would not have been informed by the reception... The so long-waited drink with view on the Acropolis will not be here... This is clearly a misleading practice!

Passed this disappointment, you head toward the room. A bit old fashion with view on an old building (i.e. no view on the Acropolis as per the above!) but pretty spacious and with correct amenities. Comes here the second surprise: not a single bottle of water offered when you arrive... This is obviously and frankly speaking a tiny little detail I know but 1) this is the tiny little attention you would expect in a 4-star hotel and 2) with a bottle of water (0.5L) in the minibar at 3€ the bottle (!!!), 1 bottle offered will not harm the hotel chain I believe. Let's not forget, you pay the price of a 4-star hotel...

Summary: despite the nice location of the hotel and kindness of the staff on-site, never again! This also comes after a huge disappointment following another stay at another Melia hotel/resort which means cancellation of my MeliaRewards account and no stay in this chain anymore...

It is bit far from main old town center. Not a great location if you are coming as tourist. Rooms are bit old. Breakfast had lot of options.

Comfy beds and a delicious breakfast! About a 20 minute walk from the Acropolis but there are some good restaurants and bars real close by. Hot showers with good water pressure. Overall very pleased and definitely stay here again

Gutes Hotel mit wunderschönen Badezimmern. Standort halt mitten in der Stadt mit den entsprechenden Vor- und Nachteilen. Die Mitarbeiter der Rezeption waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, haben bei allen Anliegen sofort geholfen.
