The Athens Gate Hotel  

Hotel naprawdę godny polecenia. Doskonała lokalizacja.Do świątyni Zeusa50 m a Akropolu 200.Można zwiedzić miasto nie korzystając z komunikacji miejskiej. Z tarasu na dachu hotelu można podziwiać panoramę całych Aten, w tym wspaniałe starożytne zabytki . Bardzo miły personel.Hotel czyściutki. Jedynym minusem jest nieotwierające się okno w łazience.

Widoki z z sali restauracyjnej na tarasie

Zbyt małe pokoje, ciasne, rozklekotane i powoli jeżdżące windy

The location is perfect and the views from either side of the hotel are good. The breakfast was excellent and the rooftop restaurant was lovely. The staff were very welcoming and all in all it is a place I would recommend to anyone. Next time we travel to Athens we will stay there again. (If you use the Metro to get there from the airport the closest stop is Acropolis, not Sygrou as we were misinformed at the airport)

We had booked & paid before the financial crisis and were traveling in Europe when the riots were being shown on TV. Contacted by email, the hotel staff responded in flawless English to reassure us and give us very precise directions on how to get to the hotel. While we were there, a one-day taxi strike occurred. The staff put notices in the elevators a day ahead and counseled any guests with travel plans that would be disrupted. The Athens Gate has a large staff for the small number of guests. They were unfailingly pleasant, well-spoken and helpful. The rooftop restaurant is very good, with a wonderful view of the Acropolis. We loved the location, really enjoyed our stay and recommend to all.

The hotel provides WiFi in the rooms for a daily fee and has two PCs and a printer in the lobby for free use. That might have passed a few years ago, but no one now pays for WiFi. The shared PCs are fine, but everyone needs to print out boarding passes and there was often a waiting line. They should make the large lobby a free WiFi area and provide plug-ins for the many travelers with their own equipment. There's a bar in the lobby, which would then get more use. We were traveling with a college student grandchild who is just accustomed to being online and doesn't want to have to hibernate in her room to get online.

The view from top floors facing the temple is breathtaking. As if you are sitting on a cloud and viewing the temple and ancient city. Very nice breakfast too. Crispy linen and comfortable bed, room size is also reasonable for a city stay.

The view of the Parthenon from the rooftop restaurant is stunning We also had a room with an amazing view of Zeus's Temple, just across the street The location couldn't be more perfect for exploring La Plaka neighborhood The breakfast included with the room was great with a lot of choice The staff were all so friendly & helpful My husband accidentally left his i.d. card in our safe WHen we called they had already secured it behind the desk & had it waiting for us upon our return from sailing the Islands We stayed 3 different times over the course of our trip to Greece & were very happy with each stay

As we were told breakfast was wonderful and was included in the price of the hotel. Location was great. Staff was very nice and helpful.

Standard rooms are very small for the price.

The Location is the Most Important plus point about The Athens Gate Hotel. Just across the Temple of Zeus, around the corner of pedestrian street that leads to New Akropolis Museum and offering plenty of places to have dinner, lunch or even snacks. There was a very nice restaurant that serve yummy Moussaka right there on the left hand side of the street. The Service was remarkable if you already understand Greece. I stayed in Athens Gate for 2 nights after 3 nights staying in 3 star hotel in Plaka area. The Athens Gate actually bring our luggage to our room. :-) Unlike the other hotel. The receptionists are engaged with your needs, the bell boys are very honest and willing. I left my bb in the Hotel lounge sofa, they returned it to me as soon as I told them I left a phone there. The Roof Garden is great. Great View to Temple of Zeus, Akropolis, and almost every angle of Athens. Great for Sunset or Sunrise Photos. The room are clean, the room service is yummy, polite and efficient. There's international tv Channels.

There's no Free Wifi. This is very annoying for me. The Wifi connection is available on prepaid card which is a bit disturbing if the only communication with people back home you're counting on is using Blackberry like I did. The entrance is very close to the street, not comfortable at all when you're arriving with 4 luggage on a taxi and the taxi driver seems to have zillion things to do after dropping you of by the very busy street.

Everything was wonderful, especially the breakfasts and the roof top patio/bar. The room was very clean, it was the best location for walking to the Plaka and the Parthenon. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again. It's a very cute and well designed hotel. We loved it, great price too!

We had a little trouble with the wi-fi. We never got it to work, but the hotel refunded us our money for the card we purchased. They do have two computers in the lobby area that work well with a printer, so all worked out well.

No bathtab was attached. Very small room.

The room we were given faced the Acropolis. There was a huge terrace for our own private use which, had the weather been better, we would have made good use of. Unfortunately, although it was sunny, the temperatures in mid-January were too cold to permit us to do so. Nevertheless, the view was breathtaking even from behind the glass sliding doors in our room. The hotel personnel was very helpful and pleasant at all times.

The room, although apparently one of the best in the hotel, was very small. The terrace is intended to compensate but we couldn't take advantage of it due to the cold weather. Wi-fi is not free. There are two computers in the lobby which we were able to use because it was low season and there were very few guests in the hotel, but I can imagine that during high season it must be very difficult to access either of them. The price for wi-fi cards was quite hefty.

The friendly staff and was so clean. Being central to all attractions was an added bonus. The stunning views was another bonus. The variety for breakfast was great.

Hotel location, service and staff was excellent! They even upgraded our room for free!
