Hotel Meletiou
Balcony rooms over Thiva with an airport shuttle on request
About this hotel
Hotel Meletiou is built around small comforts a night-stop hotel usually skips: a bar, a lounge, a coffee shop, and balcony rooms looking out over the town rather than a car park. Family rooms come with air conditioning, a private bathroom, a work desk and soundproofing, useful when a family needs the children asleep before the adults finish unpacking. Saint Gregory's church is two minutes away on foot and the Eastern Gate ruins sit three hundred metres further, both inside the same walkable grid around the Cadmea. The airport shuttle and facilities for disabled guests are aimed squarely at travellers landing at Athens and continuing straight to Thiva rather than renting a car first.
- Family rooms with air conditioning
- Airport shuttle available
- Balcony with city views
- Accessible facilities
Our take
I would pick Hotel Meletiou for a calm night or two in Thiva, especially when arriving from Athens: the airport shuttle removes the need for a hire car on the first leg. Family rooms with balconies give a little extra space, and the accessible facilities suit a relative who needs step-free access. With an 8.6 guest score from almost 400 reviews, it is a reliable town-centre choice, though it remains a simple two-star without a pool.
- ✓Book the airport shuttle a day ahead if you are landing at Athens without a rental car.
- ✓Request a balcony room facing away from the street for a quieter view over the rooftops.
- ✓Mention any accessibility needs at booking so the disabled-access facilities are ready on arrival.

Why guests love itHotel Meletiou is a practical family base in Thiva rather than a holiday resort. Family rooms come with air conditioning, a private bathroom and a balcony over the town, and the Cadmea, the old Theban acropolis, is close by on foot. The airport shuttle from Athens spares parents a long drive with tired children, and the accessible facilities help when a grandparent joins the trip. Room service covers the evenings when nobody wants to go out again.
