Top Thessaloniki Hotel Reviews

Makedonia Palace

Makedonia Palace

8/10 Good
"Rooms were large and well maintained. The pool area was small, but the pool itself nice and large. The gym was a decent size, but quite a low ceiling and as a tall person, it meant I couldn't use the treadmills as my head would have hit the ceiling. Breakfast was very nice. My only complaint is the stinginess around water and coffee. You got 4 Nespresso pods and one bottle of water. Any additional you had a note that would have been charged. For a 5* hotel this smarted a bit and felt more like a 3* style action."

"Very nice hotel and centrally located. Felt safe for two ladies traveling and we both very much enjoyed the breakfast they supplied. The room we stayed in was nice & big--had a main room with a king bed and then a second smaller room with a queen. All in all, this property was quite lovely! The only thing that was odd was not having a shower. There was a large, strong powered jacuzzi tub within the bathroom, but just a hand sprayer attached to it. I guess standing showers aren't super common in Greece, as this was the second property we stayed in that had this situation. Just a little different to have to sit down in a bathtub to spray yourself down and shower. I'd get better at it if I stayed longer for sure. Lovely property though and I do recommend!"
