The hotel was beautiful. The breakfast was superb and quite filling. However there was only one elevator working the majority of my stay so we would wait anywhere from 10-20 minutes for the elevator to get back to your room or even downstairs.

Loved The Hyatt Place
I have stayed at almost every hotel in Athens. This was my first time at The Hyatt. I dont know why it took me so long to book here. The check in staff were friendly and so helpful. The rooms are updated, spacious and clean. The location for downtown, Classic Center and Akins Arena is perfect. Check out was a breeze. Parking is free. This is my new favorite hotel in Athens!

Great place
Helpful and friendly staff, great breakfast, comfy bed, close to everything. My only complaints are that the app said there are microwaves in each room, but there aren’t; and the elevators are very slow. But that is just nitpicking. I would stay here again for sure

A Great Getaway and Beyond Relaxing
I almost hated to leave. The Hyatt Place was beyond relaxing. Very clean, everyone was professional, the staff treated us well. People were smiling, some of the workers were even singing while working. The food was great, and the rooms were awesome. We slept so peacefully due to the beds being so comfortable. I will be back. Great place to get a way to, especially with the one you love.
