During my stay at Melia Athens, I appreciated the friendly and helpful staff, and I loved the delicious breakfast offered each morning.

I had a great stay at Melia Athens, mostly thanks to the really good staff who made me feel at home. The rooftop pool, with its stunning views of the Acropolis, was definitely a highlight, especially during warm evenings. However, the surrounding area felt a bit rundown, which might make some guests feel uneasy, though I personally didn't have any safety concerns.

I enjoyed the breakfast buffet with its fresh options, although it wasn't included in my stay. Dining on the rooftop while enjoying the views was a lovely experience, even though prices felt a bit high compared to local eateries.

The rooftop pool area was lovely but could get crowded at times, and I did notice the hotel had only two elevators, which weren't always sufficient for peak hours. Still, everything was well-maintained.
