The Athens Gate Hotel

The location of the hotel is exactly I wanted to choose.

The view of the Acropolis from our room & balcony was amazing! The location, just steps away from the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, and Plaka, was wonderfully convenient to everything we wanted to see and do.

The location

The location is wonderful! Across the street is the Temple of Zeus, the Acropolis can be seen from the rooftop restaurant, the hop-on hop-off bus stop is just outside the hotel and the Plaka is just behind the hotel, with lots of sidewalk cafes and shops. The staff were excellent, all English speaking and very helpful. Our bellhop, John, who was born in Canada of Greek parents, must have spent ten minutes with us explaining everything and giving us tips on sightseeing, etc.

Great views of the Acropolis, very nice staff. Location is incredible. Very close to the monuments of Acropolis and to the new Acropolis Museum. Easy access from the airport, by metro.

Service was impeccable, shame that the in room wifi service is only available by prepaid cards.

Friendly and accomadating staff. Great breakfast and great views from the retaurant, close to Acropalus, Temple of Zues and the Plaka

The view from our room was lovely, great location. But in particular the staff in the breakfast room were extremely professional and would go out of their way every morning. They were polite, friendly and eager to make everyone comfortable. Excellent hotel management.

Our hotel balcony door did not seem to seal properly so we were getting quite a bit of noise from the street. But it is a very busy road.

The location is what you pay for I guess

Gave up waiting for a drink at foyer bar. Restaurant cramped at breakfast time.

The location is perfect. They have a roof garden where is a bar and a restaurant. You can have breakfast and dinner there. I booked a double executive room facing arcopolis. I took photos of acropolis just at my balcony. Very nice.

Well, may be the hotel locates in the golden area. Like elsewhere, it's not spacious at all, even the "executive" room... That's why I think Value for money is poor. There is no much space left after the queen- size bed in the room. Rooms facing arcopolis don't have bath tab while those facing temple of Zeus might have. I once thought of changing room to the other side, but I gave up finally.

The staff was always helpful and cheerful and the rooftop restaurant was excellent. Although in an old building, the rooms were very clean. The location was perfect for tours and shopping, and the view of the accropolis at night was beautiful as well.

The location is excellent for visitors wishing to explore the city. We had been advised that traffic noise from the major thoroughfare on which it is located could be a problem, but we noticed the noise only when the doors to our balcony, which overlooked that road, were open. Seemingly as compensation, our balcony also afforded a perfect view of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, directly across the stree, and the Acropolis itself, on an angle to the left. The hotel's facilities were all that one expects of accommodations in its category. We had a pleasant and comfortable stay and would return to the Athens Gate, should we visit the city again.

We experienced some small lapses in service that the hotel would do well to correct. For example, both our key cards malfunctioned regularly, despite being replaced several times (and, incidently, being kept apart from credit cards and like items). There is a small charge for Internet access, which, although inconsequential, seems out of place, given that any number of hotels in lesser categories routinely offer access at no charge. In one incident that I attribute to thoughtlessness, I requested coffee to take to my room to enjoy while I waited for my companion to prepare for breakfast. I was given a cup of coffee; a pot (whether full or partly full is immaterial) with a cup and saucer would have met my expectations more closely.
