We researched a ton of hotels before deciding on Athens Gate and were very pleased with our choice. The location is very central. Walking distance to everything - acropolis, plaka etc. and the port is a short cab ride away. The rooms were well done with all modern conveniences. The staff was very accommodating of all our requests. The view... more

Reservation: We booked through splendia.com, which we found randomly when googling the hotel. The rates appeared just slightly cheaper than the hotel's on website. The process was straightforward and a confirmation email was received. Check-in: When we arrived, we were offered glasses of cool water and a dish of Greek delights (Turkish delights by another name). Reception staff were cooly... more

Good hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, from check in to storing bags - they were courteous and pleasant. The hotel is within very close walking distance to the Metro, which is well laid out and handy. The hotel is modern and nicely finished. The rooms are not huge, but a reasonable size, well laid out and comfortable.... more

We stayed for 4 nights and found the staff to be very helpful and polite (even asked if we wanted a boxed breakfast ready for us for a 5am departure), location close to Plaka, Acropolis, and metro. The breakfast was great and would definitely recommend to others. Be careful at the Acropolis, I was pickpocketed. more

One advantage the Athens Gate has over many of its local rivals is the view. If your room is on one side of the hotel, you can look up at the Parthenon, on the other, look down on the similarly impressive if less iconic Temple of Zeus. From the excellent restaurant on the top floor, you can sit outside and... more

We stayed here both at the beginning and end of our island cruise. The Plaka was around the corner and we were in walking distance of major landmarks such as the Temple of Zeus, Acropolis, and the Stadium. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was a nice size and comfortably appointed. We had a room in the... more

Our room had an Acropolis View Balcony. The roof top restaurant had an amazing view of both the Acropolis and the Temple of Zeus! My husband and I stayed for one night and payed 200 Euros. The food in the restaurant was nothing to brag about, I would recommend walking to a cafe in the Plaka for some amazing Greek... more

I loved my stay at the Athens Gate. We were welcomed with Greek candy and water when we checked in, and while the receptionist seemed to be a little chilly toward another woman at the desk, she was very pleasant and helpful to us. The rooms are very well decorated and modern; most rooms either overlook Zeus's temple or the... more

Typically when we travel, my significant other makes all the arrangements on where we are staying. For this trip, I decided I would try my hand at finding us a hotel in Athens. After researching other hotels, I recommended the Athens Gate Hotel, which he agreed too. It turned out to be a wonderful location with so many historic sites... more
