Reviews Summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Makedonia Palace has garnered accolades for its cleanliness, with visitors frequently commending the pristine condition of its rooms and pool area. While the rooms are celebrated for their spaciousness, modernity, and awe-inspiring sea views, a serene experience may best be had by choosing a sea-facing room, as suggested by some guests. The hotel's amenities generally meet traveler expectations, yet additional fees for certain breakfast options and pool use have been a sticking point. Although the hotel's rates are considered reasonable and service is recognized as professional and responsive, reviewers have remarked on a perceived lack of warmth from the staff, slightly tempering the otherwise positive feedback.

It’s a very beautiful hotel in the centre of the town. Big and modern with very clean and specious rooms and very helpful and friendly staff. It’s nice to walk by the sea and you can reach everything by walking. We would like to come back soon in the future.

Hotel's Favorite
I staying at this hotel while in business in Thessaloniki. I paid a bit extra to have the sea view and it was worth it. Loved looking at the sea and the boats and watching the locals walking, cycling and jogging up and down the seafront. The room was big and modern, with good sound insulation. The bed was very comfortable. The only problem was that there is a bar next to the hotel ( not part of the hotel) , that plays loud music until midnight. Even with the windows closed you can hear it, so if you are in a room facing the sea, bring ear plugs if you want to sleep before midnight. The breakfast was good, with many choices. However, there were a couple of things I did not like. The waitress forgot my coffee, so I had to ask twice. She did not say ‘ I am sorry, I forgot’ she just said ‘ let me check’. Never apologised. Moreover, this is the first 5 star hotel I have stayed at ( and I stay at about 6-8 per year on average) where guests at breakfast were charged at extra for any other coffee apart from filter coffee and had to pay extra for things like pancakes, omelettes or fried eggs. Extra offers such as these come for free in any hotel I have ever stayed at that calls itself five- star and even four- star. That lack of options ( I only wanted a cappuccino!) left a bit of a sour taste. Also at check out, nobody asked me if my stay was good and if I enjoyed myself. They just said I would receive an email with the receipt and that was it. Again, first time in a five star hotel this happened. Would I return to this hotel again? Maybe, because of its beautiful views of the sea. But I might also try other hotels in Thessaloniki with equally good views…

My husband and I visited Thessaloniki in August, 2023 to attend a conference on educational research. We were fortunate to stay at the Makedonia Palace! The hotel is in an excellent location, and we chose a room with a lovely view of the Aegean. Our room was large, well furnished, and had a beautiful marble-floored balcony. Everything was well equipped and well maintained--from the grand lobby to the saltwater pool to the truly remarkable 5-star breakfast! Convenient terraces made eating outside very pleasant and easy. Service was always friendly and efficient. All of the staff we met were well trained and helpful. Among the many, I would like to mention Rafaella, who expressed and demonstrated her love of the hospitality industry. I'm sure you will enjoy your stay at the Macedonia Palace, which one of our taxi drivers called, "the best hotel in Thessaloniki"!

Attending a meeting/conference in Septmber this was chosen for us after extensive research and not disappointed. Very well appointed rooms with air conditioning still necessary a little later in the year but on low setting fine to sleep with. Really good bed and powerful shower. All spot on. Only ate at a buffet on the terrace as part of the meeting but the quality of that was excellent. Breakfast was comprehensive and first class.

I had the pleasure to travel for the first time to Thessaloniki and stay in Makedonia Palace. I would like to say that was the best decision to get a room with sea view and have an extraordinary view every morning with a good coffee on the balcony. I can not wait to come back there with mi kids.

Right on the waterfront, this hotel is lovely but fairly generic. We could have been in any major city at any major hotel -- it lacked warmth and although the staff was efficient, they were not the most welcoming. Room service for dinner was prompt but very expensive so we ventured out and had a coffee and pastry in the city instead of staying at the hotel. It was all a bit antiseptic for me but we were just passing through to Rhodes and only there for one evening.

The hotel offers a very high standard of comfort and service. The back of the hotel faces the 2 mile wonderful promenade. The front of the hotel is off a very busy main road. So I would recommend paying extra for a sea facing room, which we found to be very quiet and we enjoyed the view. A shout out to the housekeeping staff and cleaners who did an amazing job. There is an excellent choice at the self service buffet breakfast. Water and coffee are served to your table. We enjoyed a daily swim in the outdoor pool which was well maintained.

I had a wonderful time in Thessaloniki. I stayed at the Makedonian Palace. The staff were so courteous, amicable and helpful. (When I had a short-circuit in my room, maintenance came in 5 minutes, even though it was past 11:30 p.m.) I had a lovely room with a sea view. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Thessslonika.

We have stayed here before and nothing disappoints. In a great location, and not more than a 30 minute walk to anywhere! The Staff are always extremely helpful and happy to be of service. The amenities are 5 star and if they can’t provide something you need, they help you with finding and booking outside the hotel. Breakfast is amazing! The pool is crystal clear and is cleaned on a daily basis. The boardwalk it sits on is full of life and you have views from the road to the water. Prices are very reasonable for a 5 star hotel. Would always stay when visiting Thessaloniki!
