1. Great location, away from the hustle and bustle of Palaka, yet within walking distance (or a $4 cab ride). Quiet neighborhood 2. Staff are superb! So kind 3. CLEAN! So clean and modern. Also has a fabulous blackout shade that makes your room a sleeping cave! 4. Awesome price.

This was a wonderful hotel: small, luxurious, great location. very modern and comfortable rooms. Just around the corner from a local taverna where we dined two of three nights in Athens. Yes. I would visit again. This trip was Sept. 2007 actually.

I totally recommend this hotel. It is not only in the heart of Athens but also in a perfect and safe location. The neighborhood seems unaffected from the financial crisis and is full of great shops and restaurants. Moreover, the rooms are extremely clean and the breakfast is tasty. Congratulations to the excellent (!) and very very helpful staff.

I liked very much the minimal design of the hotel.Moreover it is found in a nice location, really close to anything that someone would like to visit. In addition it is close to the subway. I was impressed by the excellent service and the staff was really kind.

I decided to book Periscope, for its location. I have stayed there before back in 2007. The service is excellent, as well as the cleanliness of the room. The serious problem is that there is no lobby and you have to sit in the dinning room if you want to have a cup of coffee or meet with a bussiness... More

This hotel is a little gem, sittuated in a gorgeous, trendy part of Athens, full of great shops and restaurants. There is an authenticity to this part of Athens (the Kolonaki District) which you don't get in the more touristy parts of the city. Staying in Kolonaki we felt like we got an insight into the real Athens, which for... More

Hotel Periscope is a very modern hotel in an ancient city. Located in the Kolonski area with cafes and restaurants, the location could not be better for exploring Athens on foot. Also, the location being in a quiet street means little noise at night after a full day out. The restaurant on the ground floor served an excellent breakfast and... More

First of all, the Kolonaki area of Athens is posh and understated, and full of great restaurants, cafes, bars, bakeries, and shopping. From the Periscope Hotel, it takes minutes to walk to the beginning of one of the best hikes in town, Lycabettus/Likavittos Hill, with stunning views of the city from the Acropolis to the port of Pireas (most will...
