Best Hotels near Byzantine Watermills, Pavlos Melas

Very good hotel. It was a great experience. We got a free upgrade to a higher class room. The room was clean and comfortable, air conditioning and tv functioned correctly. Breakfast was fulfilling for its price. P.S. The personnel of the hotel even prepared breakfast for us because of our early check-out.

As long-term and frequent travelers to Thessaloniki, we found ourselves unexpectedly at the Mediterranean Palace through a snafu in reservations at another hotel in Thessaloniki. Dismayed at the unplanned change, we decided to make the best of our remaining trip. The mix-up, however, proved serendipitous. MP exceeded all expectations by far. From this point forward it will be our hotel of choice, a designation well -earned through superlative service by all staff, the finest culinary offerings, Martha-Stewart-topping holiday decorations and events, and choice location adjoining the famous Ladadika historical district of eateries. This is a full-service, five-star hotel (with bath-tubs) that won’t disappoint. We used the spa and restaurant regularly and were delighted even with the last available room in the hotel that offered us a lovely desk and sitting area, with a full bath and quiet location at the end of a corridor. But more than the typical descriptions from brochures and websites, the staff earned our deepest appreciation for their constant assistance. With our visual and mobility challenges, added to our tough “business” schedule, each of the staff looked out for us and helped make our trip a resounding success. Their attention to detail, unfailing cheerfulness and politeness impressed us as no other facility across the globe. In particular, we would like to thank the General Hotel and Customer Relations Managers. Not to be omitted are Ms. Katerina of the housekeeping staff; of the waitstaff, Mr. Giannis, Mr. Tassos, Ms. Despoina, and Ms. Georgia, among others who made our stay so memorable. We strongly urge travelers to book their stays at this hotel!

The breakfast was generous, the interior of the hotel was good, and the room had a small balcony. The disadvantage is that it is far from the city, but there is a shuttle bus to Aristotle Square at every hour of the hotel, which is quite convenient.

Everything about this place is just amazing. Location, staff, comfortable beds, spacious beds, calm surroundings, no city noice… and the best of all: you can literally eat your “breakfast “ any time you want throughout the day! Perfect for not-so-early-birds kinda people:)

The process requirements are in line with Hyatt's standards, and the counter operations are international high-standard professional reception services. There are no shortcomings! The most satisfying thing is the pick-up and drop-off service provided by the concierge. Not only a few days before arrival, the airport pick-up meeting point map and step-by-step graphic instructions were emailed, making the pick-up and drop-off service simple and convenient, and it is also free. It’s absolutely perfect!!

Clean, modern and well-provisioned (softest towels I think I've ever come across) with a friendly vibe that caters equally well for business travellers as for tourists. The hotel is within walking distance of all Thessaloniki's main sites and has loads of restaurants just behind the hotel, which is right opposite the sea. Downside is that city planners put a main road all along the sea front, but the double glazing cut out most of the traffic noise and there were some thoughtfully provided earplugs next to the bed too! Breakfast was jaw-droppingly good, with freshly made goodies from fried egg bagels to sweet and savoury pies arriving constantly from the kitchen. And the staff were just brilliant. From the lovely team at the front desk (top tip - if you have a car with you, make sure you reserve a discounted parking space at the same time as booking your room) to the catering team and the cleaning staff - everyone was friendly, helpful and very good at what they do.

Lovely hotel in an excellent location. Staff warm and friendly rooms bedding and towels super clean. No breakfast as too late in the season but coffee shops a minute walk away. Less than twenty steps to the beach with lots of tavernas and small shops. If I could make a suggestion it would be nice to have a kettle in the room with some cups to make a hot drink. We only stayed one night so we will return to spend more time at Avra Hotel and enjoy the super beachfront restaurants and bars. Thank you to the staff for your kindness.

This is a superb hotel, very clean and with a very friendly and helpful staff, (thank you Natassa) My room was a single, and for a small room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, it even had a table and chair and a decent balcony. The toilet was small, clean with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was good, with reasonable choice, and well presented. The only minor complaint, but not really an issue as I could have packed my own, I would have given 5 stars if it had tea and coffee making in the room. I would definitely stay there again.
