Just returned from a fabulous week here, absolutely perfect from beginning to end. Staff all so friendly and work so hard especially the waiters-always took time to talk to us, even when we saw them at the beach! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the maids came every day. The pools were all brilliant- never any problems finding a sunbed. The food at breakfast and dinner was fantastic so much choice and cooked to perfection. Cannot recommend this hotel enough. A short walk to the beach which is sandy and very shallow. Approx 1 mile up to the centre of town- loads of supermarkets, gift shops and tavernas. The airport cafe is a must for plane spotting! We hope to return next year!

Just returned home after 11 nights in a superior studio (No 412) and found the studio as we expected on researching the hotel. The bathroom was very nice with a good shower, the rest of the studio was equally as good with comfy beds, wardrobe with plenty of coat hangers and the best safe I've seen in many hotels. There was a small kitchen area which was more than adequate for our needs, we enjoyed cheese, onion and tomato toasty's most lunchtime. Prior to arriving we emailed to request an upper floor with a sunny afternoon balcony and this was granted. We spent most of the day after an early morning walk sat at the adult pool which was quiet on our first few days and started getting busier as the month wore on. The weather was lovely apart from one day which was cloudy and cold but we did a lot more walking on that day. We found mid May was ideal for walking and enjoyed long walks every morning before a bit of sunbathing followed by several visits to local restaurants, our favourite being Ambrosia for great food and excellent mythos before returning to have a few drinks on our balcony watching the incoming planes. The gardens were lovely and staff were really friendly, we would return to this hotel.

We have just come back from a wonderful stay at the Marelen Hotel as a group of friends in our early 40's. The staff are all amazing and so happy to help you - from the hardworking restaurant staff, reception team to the people who look after the grounds. Everyone had a smile for you. Our luggage was taken to our room for us and would have been collected from our room in the last day, if we had requested it, but we managed ourselves. The rooms were really nice with plenty of storage and hangers and good air con. The only issue we had was that the hairdryer in the bathroom wasnt really good enough to dry my hair but we mentioned it to the ladies on reception and they gave us a proper hairdryer straight away. The maids changed the towels daily, which was great and I think the bedding was done every other day. Our maid was the loveliest lady, I think she was called Suzanna and always said hello when we passed her around the hotel. The restaurant was amazing with plenty of choice and themed food night - obviously Greek night was my favourite. At breakfast you can have fresh omelette made for you, just take him what you want in it. The Greek yoghurt was delicious, not like in the UK. The restaurant staff are so friendly and are always on hand to help. A special mention for Stavros and Antreas who worked so hard to clear the tables, they always had a smile for everyone that came to the restaurant. Great work guys! The team at the pool bar were great and we had some amazing lunches served to us. We ate there every day. You have to try the passion fruit daiquiris! I have seen another review where they complained about the airport. Not really the fault of the hotel that the planes fly over. We actually loved the planes going over, it was never an issue and we even went to the end of the road to watch them come in. If you have kids they would absolutely love this as they go right over your head. I think the planes stop around 11pm and start again just after 6am they never woke me up. 5 min stroll to the beach, the sea was lovely and warm early Oct and it's quite shallow for quite a way out. I would have loved to have seen a turtle but no such luck as I think we had missed them all. I would love to come and stay at the Marelen Hotel again, such a friendly, hardworking team. Thank you for making us feel so welcome ❤️

This hotel has its good points and some bad points that make it average and not 4 star. My views are based on a Superior Room rating. Good points. Location, friendly staff, a good buffet style breakfast with freshly cooked options available. Robes are available in the room along with a safe and a kettle. Good free wifi. Kalamaki itself is a small town that is a short walk away with plenty of restaurants, bars, supermarkets and tourist shops. The beach is about a five minute stroll away. However, there are a number of improvements that could be put in place to improve its rating. 1. Even though the hotel is only three stories high there should be a lift available to carry heavy luggage up and down from your room. 2. Not all the rooms look like ones shown on the website. The bedroom area was fine but the bathroom was dated and was very small. The tiles at the foot of the shower tray did not slope back into the tray, for draining purposes, meaning that a pool of water laid on them all through our stay. 3. The fridge had seen better days with a small pool of water permanently laying on the bottom shelf. 4. Why do hotels, only offer bath towel not much bigger that hand towels. This is not the only one but a 4 star hotel should offer bigger towels. 5. Housekeeping was poor. We try and assist by requesting housekeeping every other day. On one occasion they took dirty towels away but did not leave any clean ones. They did not top up the coffee and tea options in the room at all. The taps in the bathroom looked as if they had never been cleaned and the tiles mentioned in point number 2 should have been dried off by housekeeping. Most 4 star hotels put a free bottle of drinking water in your room every day. 6. Only a minor point this one but why not put a small washing line on the wall on the balcony. Most balconies had towels drying on the front like a block of flats drying their laundry. 7. The breakfast buffet was plentiful, but why only offer orange juice. Most hotels would offer an alternative like apple or tomato juice. On a general point of view. Smoking is not allowed in any of the rooms, but is ok on the balconies. This can be a nuisance if you don't smoke twofold. One you cannot sit on your own balcony without having to smell of someones cigarettes smoke, and secondly, in a hot climate you cannot have your balcony door open for too long before the smoke smell enters your room. ( This is not a rant about this hotel, but a general observation regarding some parts of Europe ) These are just my observations in general. There were a number of people who go to the Marelen every year so they must be more than happy with the facilities offered but for me I would not return.
