My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room I had on the first floor was quiet and had a nice view of the interior of the building, helping to keep it cool. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, particularly at the reception desk. The location was central, making it convenient to access various attractions. However, the dining options were a bit hit and miss, and the price for some services seemed high.

The hotel was fine but not ideal for a group of 3 as the room was quite small and lacked a kettle for making drinks. On the positive side, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially the female receptionist. Dining was satisfactory but with extra service fees imposed. Facilities were standard with no standout features.

The hotel at the Acropolis was amazing at night, and my bedroom was tastefully decorated and extremely clean. The rooms were quickly changed after our complaint, and the bathroom was renovated. The stairs were also renovated. However, the hotel is in a relatively run-down area off Omonia Square.

Our stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice, but not suitable for three adults. I appreciated the quietness being located on the 8th floor, away from traffic noise like sirens. However, after a long day of walking around the city, we felt the effects of that on the room setup.

The room we stayed in at this Melia hotel was very comfortable, although lacking natural light. The spacious room with a jacuzzi was a nice touch. The service was supportive, providing solutions to all our requests, although there was a slight issue with room assignment. The location, while close to many attractions, felt a bit worn down and not as safe as expected. The dining options were tasty but a bit overpriced, with plenty of great eateries nearby. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
