We were greeted after our long, sleepless transatlantic flight with glasses of ice water and turkish delight at the check-in. Then we were taken to our room, squeezing into 1 of the 2 smallish elevators. The room was beautiful and modern with an incredible view of the Temple of Zeus, through our huge windows and glass balcony.

My son and I had a room on a non-smoking floor. Everything was very nice. My son loved the walk-in shower with no door. There is a window between the bedroom and bathroom, but it has wooden blinds in it that allow for privacy.

The bed looked like a king, but was really 2 twins that could be pushed apart.

The breakfast in the morning was fabulous. This was the only place in our entire Greece trip where they brought a POT of coffee to the table, instead of a single cup. The buffet had all the items you would expect at a European continental breakfast. Pastries and various breads, fruits, olives, cheeses, hams, cereal, eggs, olives, yogurt. They also had 4 chafing dishes with hot foods like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, etc. The view from there was great.

We also had a very nice dinner in the restaurant our first night when we were too tired to go far.

The hotel is just a couple blocks from the Plaka and was so convenient to it and the Acropolis. We went there many times during our 2 days there.

Athens Gate Hotel was incredible. It's located 3 min away from the Acropoli station and is very close to all the attractions. The staff was friendly and spoke English, which was a plus, because we don't speak Greek. The breakfast was great as well. The room was very clean and nice. We had the view of the Temple of the Zeus from our room. And the view of the Temple and Acropolis from the roof top restaurant. Our safe was locked when we got to the room, so we called the reception desk. 5 min later a guy came in to fix it, and apologized for the inconvenience. We had a wonderful time at this hotel and would definitely come back here again.

We had a really good time in Athens and the Athens Gate Hotel was a great place to stay. Really friendly and helpful staff - everything clean and modern - great view from room - lovely breakfasts - very central location, most places within walking distance. Couldn't fault it - do stay there - you will not be disappointed.

This hotel was an absolute gem in Athens and made my stay in the City nearly perfect. The staff truly cares about taking care of you. For a reasonable price (around 100euros) I was given an upgraded room with a straight view of the Temple of Zeus. Breakfast is included and you´ll have it with a view of the Parthenon on the rooftop garden.

I was a walk up with no place to stay when I arrived early in the morning. The hotel made sure I had a room right away.

The 3 star rating on this site does not give this hotel justice. This is a legitimate 4 star hotel and deserves it!
