At The Athens Gate Hotel, travelers highlight the unbeatable central location near the Acropolis and Plaka, welcoming staff, and a rooftop restaurant with striking views, complemented by a popular breakfast that many guests describe as generous and satisfying.

Convienent location and walkable to most historic locations, great breakfast, pleasant staff, ok room. For the price, it could have been a lot nicer. The baseboards were falling off and it was dated. It's very loud so be prepared for that. It's on a super busy road with lots of loud traffic. The parking they advertise isn’t ideal. There are a few tiny spaces up front and they say they have some else where but if you have anything bigger than a small car, you cant park your car there. So the parking isn't entirely as advertised but if you're lucky enough to get one of the spots, it's great! We parked right up front and it was wonderful.

The Athens Gate hotel is a great location for visiting many sites in Athens such as the Acropolis and Acropolis Musem. There's a lot of shopping and dining options close to the hotel as well. The reason for the 4 star rating is due to the old and tiny elevator in the hotel. But it's a great place to stay and convenient location. The free breakfast is also great.

The staff was very friendly. The restaurant views and quality of the meal was excellent, however, the hotel itself needs serious updating. Only one of two elevators was working, causing long delays in transporting luggage to and from the rooms.The hotel seems to cater to large tour groups, making it feel extremely crowded both in the lobby and in the restaurant.

The hotel’s location was excellent—right in the centre and within easy walking distance to everything you need for a stay in this bustling city. Breakfast, though limited in selection, was tasty, the coffee was excellent, and the staff were attentive. Check-in and check-out were friendly and uncomplicated, and we appreciated that the hotel was able to store our bags after check-out. Unfortunately, the room itself did not meet the expectations of a four-star property. It was dark and felt dingy due to the very small curtain opening, and overall cleanliness was questionable (when moving the bedside table to look for a power outlet, it was dusty behind there). There were no outlets or USB ports near the bed, which was inconvenient. The flooring—made up of plank-style panels—was lifting and peeling, especially near the bathroom. The bathroom was functional with good water pressure, but had cracked tiles, visible mould around the shower base, and poor lighting, making it impractical for tasks such as applying makeup. The lifts were also tiny, slow, and very dated. Overall, the hotel served its purpose for a short stay, and given its central location, it worked well as a base for exploring the city. However, the room standard and facilities fell short of what we would expect from a four-star hotel.

We had a fabulous stay at the Athens Gate Hotel. Reception staff were very helpful, rooms very clean & comfortable. A large selection for self serve breakfast. Roof top bar/restaurant has an excellent view of the acropolis. We booked a room over looking the Temple of Zeus. Bit of noisy traffic, but you are in the centre of Athens so didn’t bother us & the bed was so comfy. It’s a great location, short walks for sights, shops & restaurants.

We liked our room, especially the balcony with a view of the Acropolis. It was worth the extra money to book the upgraded room for that alone. The breakfast buffet had an ample variety of food. My only complaint would be that the AC in the room is on a 2 hour timer so we had to get up every 2 hours during the night to turn it back on - during hot weather this is a little ridiculous.

The staff was friendly and accommodating, and everything else about the hotel was top-notch. The only downside was the Wi-Fi, which could definitely use some improvement. Aside from that, it was a fantastic experience, and I would happily stay here again.

However, no parking even if you want to stop for a minute to load up a rental car - it is on a very busy street. Staf is not very friendly. Very business like, and will answer your touristy questions like a robot and are in a hurry to be done with you.

A few days ago, I had an experience at this hotel that left me feeling deeply uncomfortable and unwelcome. When I returned to the property and walked toward the elevator, the same woman who had checked me in suddenly shouted “Miss! Miss!” across the entire lobby. Her tone was loud enough that all the guests seated nearby immediately looked up at me. When I reached the elevator, she shouted even louder from her desk. Feeling confused and startled, I asked whether she had a question. She responded by asking, “Are you staying at this hotel?” The manner in which she addressed me felt completely inappropriate. Yelling across a lobby is unprofessional in itself, but shouting such a question — loudly and publicly — made me feel singled out, scrutinized, and embarrassed. It was especially unsettling because I clearly had my room key, was heading to the elevators, and she had personally checked me in just days earlier. The interaction made me feel as though I was doing something wrong, when I was simply returning to my room. The next day, I brought my partner to speak with her and asked why she had behaved that way. She explained that if she doesn’t recognize someone’s face, she asks whether they are staying at the hotel. However, in all my years of traveling, I have never experienced a staff member — especially someone who is not security — shouting across a lobby to question a guest’s right to be on the property. I also observed numerous other guests entering and exiting freely with

The staff at this hotel was great. I’d already booked a private transport when I was notified by guest services that they could arrange that for me. From the time we got there until we left, we were treated like royalty. The hotel is an easy walk to Plaka (even though we are mobility impaired) and eating choices are plentiful. We have another trip booked for next year. 🙂

The help from the desk was excellent. Arrived early and was easily able to store bags and get email updates for when room is ready. Also given ideas for things to do close to the hotel while waiting needed to get some laundry done in the process was simple inconvenient although expensive. Located within walking distance of major sites. When we did venture away from the area they were able to get a taxi for us within minutes. View from the rooftop restaurant was incredible. Had read that it was difficult to get elevators because there were only two. Thankfully, that was not the case with us. Maybe we just got lucky. Would definitely return if back in Athens.
