In amongst the bustle and amazing chaos which is Athens, is the very nice AthensGate Hotel, approximately 500 metres from the Acropolis site. Alexia and the other girls on Reception very efficient, friendly and helpful. Concierge and another older gentleman (who I am not sure what title he had, though when my nephew had trouble with the safe in his... more

We only stayed one night before heading off to the islands, but for one night it was definitely the best hotel for location to Plaka, Acropolis, Syntagma Square etc. Everything is a close walk, there was no need for pulic transportation. We arrived from the airport using the metro, which is busy, but there are escaltors in each of the... more

This hotel made out trip to Athens really enjoyable. The hotel has fairly recently been refurbished and from the moment we arrived on a boiling hot day to be offered glasses of ice cold water and Greek sweets everything was lovely. The bar and restaurant on the roof has the most wonderful views, in front of the hotel is Hadrian's... more

The Athens Gate Hotel is centrally located and affords a great view of the Acropolis (we requested this view). It was amazing to see the night view from our hotel room. We definitely recommend this hotel if staying in Athens for only a few nights! more

I booked this hotel in May 2008 based on the reviews on this site. While is was a nice hotel with a great location, I do not think it merits rave reviews given here. Cons: 1) Uncomfortable bed. The mattress and pillows were dense, lumpy, hard and most uncomfortable. 2) The staff was a bit impersonal, not particularly helpful and... more

We stayed at the Athens Gate Hotel in early June. This hotel is the perfect location for exploring all of the top sites in Athens. We were able to walk everywhere! We couldn't get a room with a view because they were all sold out. Still our room was nice and clean. We had a balcony overlooking a street. The... more
