Arrived slightly early but the room was ready for us, cold glass of water on arrival such friendly and helpful staff! Room was lovely and clean, adult pool was so peaceful and NO SUNBED WARS!! Breakfast was also lovely loads of variety! Aircon was great! Location is perfect right near the beach and short walk to the strip. Hotel is as it’s advertised no nasty surprises when you arrive. One of the best hotels we have stayed in, will be returning next year!

Hotel is recommended. The hotel staff were all really friendly, rooms were clean and the facilities good. Food options were great with the added bonus of traditional greek dancing at the Eden Cocktail bar. Close to bars and restaurants, and short walk to the beach.

The Marelen was perfect for us, the breakfast had many options, the pool bar was top notch service, its location is perfectly between the beach and main road for shops etc. We were visiting for a few days for a wedding so staying in different hotels and multiple people mentioned how they really liked our hotel compared to others in the area - we are hoping to be back for a proper holiday next year!

It‘s a great hotel but it’s at the extension of the airport, so lots of planes overhead. The breakfast and dinner buffet was very good, with gluten-free options. The staff was absolutely wonderful. The only negativ point is the smoking. Nowadays there should be smoke free areas. It was very disgusting to be constantly enveloped in smoke at the pool.

We've just returned home from an absolutely wonderful 10 night stay at this hotel. All of the friendly staff work very hard and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spacious and very clean and comfortable. There was a great variety of hot and cold food at breakfast, which we enjoyed every day. The hotel grounds and gardens are beautifully well maintained. We also loved the separate pool for adults only, which offered a peaceful retreat. The hotel's location is perfect for access to the nearby beach and the main Kalamaki 'strip', with a great choice of restaurants, bars and supermarkets. We will definitely be back to the Merelen Hotel!

I stayed in the middle of August. In conclusion, I'm very satisfied with the very nice staff and the very kind service. The three women at the reception desk were very kind and gave us unreasonable requests and advice. Thanks to them, we were able to rent a car and go to see the nicer scenery. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Also, the facilities are clean, and I think it is a very nice place with a short walk to the beach. Is the shower seawater? I was a little surprised by that, but I was able to adjust the temperature without any problems, and I had a comfortable time. I had a great time with someone singing at the poolside at night. Anyway, everything was perfect. I would definitely like to recommend this hotel.

Property had everything we needed. Breakfast was a buffet with 8 large stations (all type of options). 5 minute walk from the beach (no rocks at all and the beach was so shallow you could swing out quite a distance). Cabs were pretty accessible with short wait times, 10 min walk from one of the strips with plenty of restaurant and shopping options. 10 minute cab ride to the airport

Would visit again

This is a very nice hotel. Only a few minutes drive from the airport but the airplanes are not bothering you. Nice property with lovely gardens and spacious balconies. The restaurant and the pool area was also nice. Staff was very friendly. The rooms were okey. Beds a bit hard with high pillows and bathrooms a bit small. A close walk to a very nice beach where you can rent sunbeds for a good price. There is also a good restaurant right by the beach. Was good to visit with children.
