Megalou Alexandrou 2, Thessaloniki, Greece | (618) 248-8274
Close proximity to historic sights and metro lines
Pretty outdoor pool on-site
Restaurant offers 24-hour room service, and there's also a cafe
Business center on-site, as well as numerous meeting rooms
Free Wi-Fi throughout
Some of the decor is a bit dated
Size of rooms varies considerably
Some rooms have flat-panel TVs versus flat-screen
A seaside hotel with 283
rooms, Makedonia Palace is located near in the city center and right in front
of the sea. Rooms are clean but slightly dated, but have all
the amenities you’d expect -- such as minibars, air-conditioning, free toiletries, and safes. Rooms have small, flat-screen TVs and small bathrooms, unless guests choose to
upgrade to one of the pricier room options. Its location in Thessaloniki, near shops and restaurants, is a real
draw, along with the on-site bar. While the gold and blue color
scheme is appealing in a traditional way, the nearby Hotel Nikopolis Thessalonik features decor that's a bit more appealing to some, and rates are often lower.

Scene
Mosaic tiles and a warm, welcoming atmosphere
From the outside it looks
like a concrete 1960s building, but inside it’s considerably warmer, with attractive, traditional decor. The lobby of the Makedonia Palace is a mix of old features
like mosaic tiled flooring and a curved wooden front desk, and new, edgier
features including a spiral staircase and modern lighting. It’s a traditional
hotel that shows some wear and tear, but it has a good location near the city
center. Popular with business people and families alike, the hotel has a pool and business facilities but room decor is uninspired and not quite up to par for an upscale hotel.
Location
Almost in the city centre, a five-minute walk to the market and right in front of the sea
The sea-front
promenade of the city of Thessaloniki stretches just in front of the hotel and
provides easy access to the city and its shops and restaurant. It’s
within a 15-minute walk of the Museum of Byzantine Culture, Archaeological
Museum, and White Tower of Thessaloniki. OTE Tower and Arch of Galerius are
also within a mile radius.
Rooms
Almost all rooms have sea views and iPod docks, but decor is a bit dated for an upscale property.
The hotel offers six
different room options; all share a similar style of neutral decor
characterized by a mix of wood and leather furniture, lamps with chrome
accents, and a muted palette. Decor in suites feels a bit more modern, but even some suites have flat-panel TVs versus flat-screen. Amenities include air-conditioning, minibars, and in-room safes. The bathrooms offer free toiletries and hair
dryers. The standard is the smallest room type, and many guests traveling on
business suggest upgrading to a suite, since each includes a separate living
area. Guests overall often opt for a room with a tub because showers in some
rooms run small. The Presidential Suite has separate living areas as well as an
impressive spa-like bathroom with a big round tub and a two-person shower with
seats.
Features
Three restaurants, a fitness center, and a bar/lounge
