Grand Hyatt Athens
The breakfast was lovely and the view from the restaurant was very nice. The area around the hotel is hardly charming; not unsafe but a tad rough-around-the-edges.

We arrived before the room was ready, but they stored our luggage. They were helpful with directions and restaurants, and told us where to avoid, for safety. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and the view was amazing! They were very friendly.
