Due to my profession, I have seen and stayed in many hotels in many countries. Melas apartments was a very pleasant surprise for many reasons and mostly because of... read more the warmth of the welcome. The owner, Mrs. Melas, make you feel at home and give you the chance to experience the true Greek hospitality. Nothing was too much for her and she was always willing to meet our needs, to answer to our questions and to help us in any way she could.
The location of the hotel is perfect. Everything you need is in walking distance. Just across the street there is a small blue flag rated beach, the sandy Ammoudi beach with all the facilities is only 150 m. away and there are many other beaches nearby. The town center of the cosmopolitan Agios Nikolaos with the lake, the shops, the bars, the cafes, the restaurants is just a short walk by the seaside –not more than ten minutes.
Our apartment had a spectacular view -having breakfast in the balcony, gazing the endless blue the best way to start your day - and the sunset was stunning . The apartment was renovated with double glazing windows and marble floors. It had a calm atmosphere, it was spacious, quite, bright and although not luxurious, it was comfortable and well equipped with all the necessary facilities. I must also mention the excellent daily service. All the place was very clean, and even my wife –who notices all the spots everywhere – was very impressed.
I think that Melas apartments offer a high quality (because quality does not mean luxury), value for money hospitality experience and I highly recommend it . I will certainly stay there again next time that I will go to Agios Nikolaos.

  The apartment was beautiful and clean with a balcony overlooking the sea. Warm welcome and you find everything you need, or might need. Nothing is too much trouble. Lifts to... read more the road so no trailing heavy cases up the stairs. I would highly recommend the apartments as a home from home whilst on holiday.

  We stayed at these family run apartments for two weeks in August and highly recommend the place.

The apartments are just a few minutes out of the... read more main town of Agios Nikolaos on the main road, which means rooms at the front have a spectacular unhindered view across the whole bay. Our room was large, bright and cheerful, and the double-glazing keeps noise from outside to a minimum. Some improvements could be made (larger shower area, more storage space), but these modernisations are being done bit by bit.

There's a small beach opposite, and the apartments are very close to plenty of good bars and cafes - Toedeleokie cafe is great, and To Pareaki restaurant is one of the best. The location also makes it easy to take a stroll down to some of the other great restaurants at the other end of the bay, away from Agios Nikolaos main town.

The best thing of all though are the owners - George and his mother are extremely hospitable and accommodating, and they'll do anything for you to ensure your utmost comfort.

  We stayed 3 nights at Melas Hotel. We had a seaview room that has a spectacular view of the sunrise directly in front of our balcony (see pic). The rooms... read more are very clean, air conditioned, large balcony, and have all the amenities needed. But the best part of this great place was the family that run it. They are extremely helpful, and make sure you have anything you need. They ask if there was anything we need and when we
had any questions about places to visit, George and Melas were extremely helpful. Unlike other bigger hotels, this one had a warm and welcoming feel to it from start to end of our stay. If or when I come back to Agios Nikolaos, I will definitely be staying at Melas, and if I am not able to get a room because of availability, I will definitely be dropping past to say hello to this beautiful family!!!

  Melas apartments exceeded my expectations. The apartment was spotless and extremely clean. This was my first time in Agios Nikolaos and the location couldn't be better for a solo traveler.... read more The apartments are across the street from the ocean (breathtaking view), and the lake/shops/bars are all within walking distance. Ionna the owner/manager at the location was so sweet and kind, George her son was incredibly helpful and responsive when messaging him through booking.com throughout the stay. He also helped me arrange a taxi on short notice to get to the airport. I didn't cook, but there was also a full kitchen with supplies available to use. Amazing shower and water pressure also! More
