For the first time in Greece, this is a great hotel. Fresh and new on the inside, 1/2 block from the Metro stop and a short walk to the Plaka for great restaurants. Great rooftop bar and restaurant and just across the street from the Temple Olympiad of Zeus. Also, just below the Acropolis. I'd stay here again!

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!
