“Great Location, Food and Views”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed at the Athens Gate Hotel in January, 2012. The hotel's location is excellent, as the Metro, historic sites and Plaka are all within walking distance. Our stay included the hotel breakfast and each morning the hostess greeted us with a smile and made us feel at home. The view of the Parthenon and Zeus Temple were inviting. Attempting to work on my Biostats homework was literally impossible due to the beautiful scenery in my midst. The hotel's staff worked diligently to ensure our stay was comfortable. The room was very clean and it overlooked the Zeus Temple. Our scheduled flight out of Athens departed extremely early; the hotel assisted with arranging taxi service and they took the time to make us a boxed breakfast to go - we appreciated that very much. If we return to Athens, Athens Gate Hotel will be our #1 choice.

Room Tip: Our room did have a balcony that overlooked the Zeus Temple - ask for this if it's something you...

“Unique location, worthing the money you spend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Concerning the location, I guess it is the best hotel in Athens. At walking distance from the metro, the Acropoli, the shopping district of "Plaka", and, a little bit far away (10 min) from Monastiraki square.
The hotel is clean, rooms are adequately equipped, staff is friendly and very efficient.
Unique roof garden with bar service and restaurant, with a stunning view to the acropoli, the temple of Zeus and the hill of Lycabetton. Breakfast (included) is served here every morning. An unforgettable place.

“Perfect Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Stayed at this hotel for two nights--first night into Athens and last night of the trip heading back to the US. Perfect location--very central to Acropolis, restaurants, etc. Hotel staff was exceptionally helpful with every question we had. Rooms were basic, but clean (we had a budget crisis room!). Bathroom was nice and spacious with fantastic olive oil toiletries. The rooftop had a nice restaurant, but really I would recommend just going up there for drinks--the view is spectacular!

“Excellent location to stay in Athens”

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary vacation in November with 2 couples. The 6 of us thorougly enjoyed our stay, the room with a great view, the location, the food in the roof top restaurant,and the friendly, helpful staff. We rented a caravan and they let us park it on the sidewalk right by the front door as parking is scarce and crowded. We walked to the tourists sites, very convenient.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the quiet side, not on the street side and ask for a room close to the top for the...

“Great!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

people found this review helpful

The location of this hotel is amazing, so close to the Acropolis and right by a metro station. The view from the restaurant is absolutely stunning and the food is also very good and not too expensive. Before going I read that some of the rooms can be quite noisy (its on a main road) but this wasn't the case for us as we had a room away from the road.
All the staff were very friendly and really made us feel at home. I would definitely recommend the Athens Gate Hotel!
