Top Athens Hotel Reviews

Athens Gate Hotel

Athens Gate Hotel

8/10 Good
"We loved our stay at the hotel and would definitely return, although next time we’d love to have a room on a higher floor. Our standard double room was very close to the main street, so we could hear cars and motorcycles speeding past, especially at night. If it weren’t for the street noise, it would have been a 10/10 experience. We loved the breakfast, and the beautiful views of the Acropolis were a real highlight. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily come back—we’d just recommend requesting a room on a higher floor and away from the street."

"I felt really comfortable with this hotel. There were a 2 or 3 minor things that prevented it from being an excellent experience, but nothing that would keep me from staying there again. Like other guests said, the area isn’t so great, but the pool on the rooftop kept me there long enough that I didn’t even want to leave. Overall, I think you should stay here if you are thinking about it."

8/10 Good
"This hotel had fantastic amenities--two rooftop pools, one for families and one adults only, with a view of the Parthenon, another quieter outdoor pool with shade, and an indoor pool in the spa with sauna, steam room, cold plunge pool and hot tub, and a gym. The common areas were large and luxurious. The room was well sized with a nice bathroom and a good shower. The bed was large and comfortable. The staff were friendly. The drawbacks were that the door to our room did not automatically close, and on one occasion the lock broke so that we couldn't access the room. Although we informed housekeeping immediately, it was approximately two hours and two more requests before workmen were sent to fix the door, meaning that we missed an appointment we had made. The location of the hotel is also not ideal. It is along a large, busy road with a series of strip clubs. To minimise the impact on guests the hotel offers a free shuttle to the touristy area nearer the Acropolis, which we used with success."

During this period, the city's beaches and seaside resorts are bustling with activity, offering a vibrant setting for relaxation and water sports.For those prioritising time by the sea, these months are superb for enjoying the warm Aegean waters and the many beach clubs and seaside restaurants. Families will find plenty of organised activities and shallow waters suitable for children, while couples can enjoy romantic sunsets over the Saronic Gulf. It's also a time when many outdoor concerts and events take place along the coast.For a slightly different, yet equally enjoyable, beach experience, June is a fantastic alternative.

Here you can find places to try paddleboarding, windsurfing, and even sailing. The beach itself is quite expansive, with both organised sections and more natural spots. Couples looking for a bit more activity alongside their relaxation will enjoy the variety of things to do here.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Athens as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance.

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
