Grand Hyatt Athens
The hotel location is not as centralised to Athens central, eg Acropolis and need a bus to get there. The room service did not replace utensils (spoons) that were taken from our room and when we asked from the chamber maid, she asked us to contact room service directly. We were too lazy to do so ...

The Stanley
Room clean. General areas tidy and cleaned regularly. Staff very helpful. Temporary building refurbishment so certain areas of the hotel currently experiencing a degree of noise but I am sure this will not be for too long, hence the current 4 stars.
