OUTSTANDING! That's how we rate not only the hotel but the service and especially the personnel. After a less than enjoyable ride into town, thanks to protesters, we arrived thinking Athens may have been a mistake. Those thoughts were removed by the people of the Athens Gate. We were greeted with ice water and traditional Greek pastry/candy. The front desk made their services for tours available and the fine folks in the BEST bar/cafe were great. All in all, our trip to Athens was made by these fine people.

Fab location, close to Plaka restaurants and shops. Amazing views from roof top bar of Acropolis and Temple of Olympian Zeus (esp at night). Room was stylish and clean with view as promised. Friendly staff and good breakfast. I am so often disappointed with hotels, but this was a great place to stay. Highly recommend it!

Stayed our first night in Athens at Athens Gate and were able to get to see most of the sights that day from this location, including their great views from the roof restaurant. Easy walk to the Acropolis and the Plaka. Room tastefully decorated and very clean. By comparison, the tour company booked the Stanley for our return to Athens and it was dirty and in an unsafe area. Stay at the Athens Gate and book Spiro's taxi for your tour and you will have good memories!

My wife and I were returning from a weekend on the islands and needed a place to stay for one night in Athens. We frequent Greece and have always stayed in the Hilton but we were travelling with friends and trying to save some money so we decided to try The Athens Gate. We were not sure what to expect for 150 EUR in Athens but were very happy with what we found.

The hotel is clean and very well maintained (actually, newly remodelled is a more apt description). The service from the staff was very good. The rooms on the rear of the hotel are quiet. A couple travelling with us were in the front with a great view of the Temple of Olympian Zeuss but they said the room was pretty noisy due to morning traffic. The location is a short walk to all the sights and only a couple blocks from a Metro stop.

I have been back for three days and already recommended the hotel to two people already. Great deal.
