Top Athens Hotel Reviews

Athens Gate Hotel

Athens Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Athens Gate Hotel was everything we were hoping for and more! The entire staff from Reception to Housekeeping were helpful, professional, friendly, and very service oriented. Our Executive Double Room with a balcony had a view of The Temple of Zeus. The Rooftop Restaurant had excellent and tasty menu selections and really talented, friendly, and professional wait staff. The restaurant had an awesome view of The Acropolis and The Parthenon. The views of the sunsets and the aforemenitoned sights were spectacular in the evening. The hotel was located in a very safe and walkable neigborhood and really close to The Plaka, The Acropolis, and The Parthenon. The only negative thing we could say is concerning our room location. We were directly underneath the restaurant and bar and our room was extremely noisy during their operating hours. Especially during their breakfast service! I would recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Athens!"
