Good hotel with some reasonable prices for great Acropolis location
Pros:

Excellent location close to Acropolis and Zeus temple. Nice rooftop bar and breakfast area with fantastic view. Close to metro station. Fair price for location

Cons:

Rooms were fine but a bit tired. Lifts are very old and with low capacity - they are limited to 4 people but ours got stuck with 3 (not heavy) people.

Wonderful Stay at The Athens Gate Hotel
Pros:

Our executive suite room on the 7th floor was newly renovated, very pretty. King bed was very comfortable. Our large balcony had a great view of the Acropolis. Rooftop breakfast was plentiful, and there were gluten free options for my husband. We ate dinner at the rooftop and enjoyed it as well; beautiful night time views! The Acropolis and it’s Museum were a 15 minute walk away. We took a guided tour of them with Athenian Tours which was very good. We walked basically to Plaka and Monistiraki and the City Center easily. Dining and grocery supermarket all close by. Bathroom was very ample with walk in shower. Everyone was very nice and helpful too. Definitely recommend!

Cons:

The only thing I can suggest is that the room needs drawers. We stayed 3 nights and besides the small closet and a “shelf” at each nightstand there are no drawers. But if you don’t have a lot to unpack it would be fine.
