Athens Gate Hotel

The location is prefect. It is very close to everything and has a great view of the ruins. The rooms are clean and the woman cleaning them was extremely nice. Unfortunately, the rooms were smaller than expected, even for European hotels. The "simple" decor turned out to look budget and the bed was uncomfortable. The pictures advertized made the rooms look nicer than actual. Nice hotel if you are looking for a 3 star. However, it isn't on par with other 4 star European hotels. Adjust your expectations.

The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. They got me in touch with a wonderful spa and helped me with my cab to the airport. The views, from the Rooftop Restaurant, were incredibly breathtaking. I would definitely go back.

We stayed for one week. We were visiting friends as well as sightseeing. All the staff were cheerful and helpful.

We loved the people at this hotel. It was right outside of Plaka and had amazing views of the Acropolis and the Temple of Zeus from every room, but the special part were the staff. Front desk and especially the breakfast servers were so nice! Ready to help or provide advice or assistance at any moment. Only downside is that it was pretty noisy from being on the main road, but the rest made up for it.

We stayed for 5 nights at a regular room facing the back street for business and sightseeing. Although the minimalist-oriented hotel does not offer fancy facilities such as a swimming pool, a spa, or fitness facilities, the room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The staff people here are very nice. They do charge hefty fees for in-room wifi, but free wifi was offered at a modern lobby space with early morning free coffee and cookies (~6 am). A view from the roof-top garden restaurant is excellent, where they offer American-style breakfast with fresh ingredients from Greece. The location is great within a walking distance from Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, a metero station, a Syntagma airport bus terminal, and other attractions. A mini mart that sells beer and wine are located at a few blocks from the hotel. I would definitely go back there if I have a chance to visit Athens again.

Excellent location, we were really happy with the location of the hotel as it was within walking distance of all the major sites. The hotel room was very nice- modern, clean with lots of space for luggage. Only downside is the street traffic can be heard through the windows, and the walls are very very thin (as in could hear entire conversations in the room next door). The lobby area is very nice with couches, a bar, and free wifi. Lots of shops and places to eat just a few blocks away in the Plaka district. Would def stay here again if coming to Athens!

We chose this hotel for its position and weren't disappointed. It's on the edge of the Plaka district, so convenient for restaurants, bars. Close to the foot of the Acropolis and within easy walking of other sites. The best thing is its rooftop restaurant/bar, with a 360 degree view of Athens. Brilliant view of the Acropolis or the Temple of Zeus as you eat breakfast. Also looks great after dark with your dinner or a drink. Akropoli metro station is a few minutes away,

Great location, very central and convienient for a 2 day stop over, easy to get to the main attractions.

Reception, Cleaners, Restaurant staff & Manager excellent - Chef is a bit weird. Breakfast is excellent. Basic meals for an expensive price.

Our 6th floor, corner room with spectacular view of Temple of Zeus was preferable to the Acropolis view on the other side due to the many construction cranes around it and in the neighborhood. Superior double-room was small for 2 adults and a child, though. The staff was attentive and helpful. VIP treatment was satisfying. Excellent location. Free in-room Wi-Fi should be included, which I would expect of a 4-star hotel.
