It is situated very close to the Acropolis. The hotel was recently renovated and the rooms are very nicely finished, Hans Grohe fixtures in the bath, flat screen TVs, nice wood detailing on the closets and desk/dressers. There's even a pool. The views from the rooftop bar are spectacular. The only thing we wanted that wasn't on offer was free WiFi. Also, the location is very close to the Acropolis and the new Acropolis Museum, but restaurant choices in the immediate area are limited. Plaka would be a more preferable neighborhood, but also more expensive. As it is, Plaka is a short hike uphill. The toiletries were generic and no conditioner or body lotion was offered, which is surprising from a chain that boasts spas in its other locations. Bring your own. The King-sized bed was 2 twins pushed together, which we ran into elsewhere in Greece.

The room is great, nice beds, very clean, nice view. Close to the acropolis and walking distance of everything. No wireless internet in the rooms !!!! To use the internet you have to take the cable and pay extra. The pool is small and not very nice...

The location was fantastic. Close to Plaka,the main shopping area and walking distance to the Acropolis, Syntagma Square & The Temple of Zeus. The roof top garden had beautiful view of the Acropolis and the food excellent. The rooms were clean and comfortable.The staff were very helpful, friendly and attended to your needs and concerns with efficiency and professionalism. Special thanks to Themis & Lefki who were exceptionally wonderful! We had a great stay and will definately recommend this hotel to anyone.

The location and proximity to the Acropolis and the new Museum were perfect. Easy access to 2 metro stops The air conditioning did not work properly, despite the hotel's efforts to fix it.

It's a basic 4 stars hotel even if they sell it as a 5 stars one. Small room, very small and basic toilette. They should downgrade the stars!!!

The hotel is well located near the Acropolis and Plaka, yet feels quiet and relaxed. The pool was great as was the lobby. Rooms were excellent with a balcony and air conditioning that worked well. The hotel upgraded our son daughter and granddaughter to an executive room at no charge to that they were beside us, that was appreciated! This is our second time to stay at this hotel and I think we will be back!

The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood very close to the Acropolis The hotel staff was unfriendly. We had a problem with our room, made 2 requests to have it fixed and it was subsequently never addressed.

The hotel is extremely outdated. The hotel is not maintained. In our first hotel room, the ac did not work, the shower went from hot to cold, the tub was falling apart In out second room, the shower went from hot to cold and our toilet leaked. No iron in the room. The carpet was stained. The breakfast was poor quality. The light bulbs in the breakfast area were out and no one seemed to care. The orange juice was terrible, like a power mix. The eggs were disgusting, the ceral was poured into big bowls and set out for hours to get stale. The pool was very cold and not appropriate for children. For some reason the bar tender told my husband that our 2 year old daughter was making too much noise at the pool when she was just laughing and having fun. No one was around and no one complained. The hotel could not even give us change for 200 euros. I would never ever go back to this hotel and I would never recommend it to anyone. I suggest that you take this hotel off of your web site.

A good clean functional hotel near to the nicer area of Athens. We stayed at the end of our island hopping holiday and it provided a nice safe base from which to explore from. We arrived exhausted at 8am and were allowed to check in and get in to the room which was brilliant. The roof top bar and restaurant are far too expensive, we had two drinks just to experience the view and our bill was 17 euros!

The rooms with the balcony view of the Acropolis are fantastic. Our family will always remember our stay in Rooms 507 and 508. The rooftop restaurant has an amazing and romantic view of the Acropolis, but is very pricey compared to nearby rooftop tavernas. I was on business, and for me the hotel Divani Palace Acropolis was not business friendly, the wifi did not work, they wanted me to buy an international card for 10 euro, the little "business center" was too small and too crowded and you must pay a lot to print documents. I wound up going to a nearby wifi coffee shop where everything was free and the proprieter let me use his printer for free. Likewise the 20 euro breakfasts each! Are extortionate, so my family and I went out for breakfast to a number of different local places which were charming and all four of us had breakfast and endless coffee for 20 euro total all four of us. The Staff was very friendly and helpful concerning touring the city. See above - not business traveller friendly - wifi not working even though it was in all the nearby coffeeshops and tavernas in the bneighborhood. Also no irons or ironing boards provided for love or money, which made it difficult to get presentable for my business calls each morning - I was pressured to use the housekeeping laundry service for 50 euro per suit and 25 euro per shirt. Fortunately my resourceful wife was with me and she ran up to kat / Kiffissias on the Metro and bought us a travel iron for 20 euro and we ironed on a towel on the room's desk. Please note the rooms are great - beds are comfortable - the desk was very large so I could spread out materials to review and prepare for meetings - but I had to go outside to The Jukebox coffeshop/taverna to type out or print out documents and email same to clients..

Location was only a 2 block walk to the Acropolis and 10min walk to Plaka area for shopping and restaurants. It's also close to the Acropolis Metro Station. The king size bed was very comfortable. I didn't like that the buffet breakfast was 20 euro per person. We walked 10 min from hotel to buy breakfast.

The rooftop restaurant was excellent. The waitstaff were fantastic, food of a very high quality, and the view amazing. The hot water kept turning off for about 3 seconds every 15 seconds or so. This meant that showering was very unpleasant. When we complained to staff, they told us that nothing could be done about this, with no offer of compensation. We were not happy about this.

Close to shops. We got a free upgrade. There was no note in our booking saying that we had already paid for the room with booking.com so they charged our credit card with a much higher rate. When we tried to explain that there was still a hold on our card, they said there wasn'T.

“An excellent choice for visiting Athens. Athens Gate made our stay a real pleasure. The hotel has a perfect location for tourists, is spotlessly clean, and we really liked the modern decor. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful, especially during the strikes. And, of course, the roof top garden breakfast with views of the Parthenon and city was a perfect way to start any day. A great place to stay and a real value for the money!” Kelly, Fallbrook |
