Periscope is a modern hip hotel. It's located in a trendy part of town, not where you'd find tourists, but rather chic Athenians (Kolonaki district.) Kolonaki itself is very pleasant with many cafes, restaurants, and shops. We stayed in a suite, it was stylish and comfortable size-wise. The regular rooms tend to be small. Everything in the room was well... more

This is a very nice little boutique hotel in the chic Kolonaki district, very sleek and could feel a little too "designed" if that's not your cup of tea. It's not right in the thick of action or the main tourist spots but that suited us fine. Main shopping area of Monistiraki is only about 10 minutes walk away, while... more

The Periscope is contemporary, very clean and orderly but size is not its virtue! If you can imagine the interior dimensions of a submarine, you can imagine the size of the standard room at the Periscope. Unfortunately, no upgrade was available when we checked in prior to seeing the room. My boyfriend and I took crude measurements of the room... more

I chose this hotel for the "look" and the location - in the heart of Kolonaki! Location met expections - "look" did not. I spent two nights in a junior suite - very modern minimalist look but also very minimalist in size. Very few amenities - this is the perfect hotel for the business travellor! Service was very good -... more

Best part: Big bed We stayed here as an overnight on our way in and out of Mykonos. I was not impressed. But, I am also unfamiliar with Athens and it is very likely that there are few "nice" hotels in this city. If you like modern/drab, the decor is nice. I like modern, but not grey. Unless you stay... more

This hotel is in a great location in Kolonaki, the most upscale neighborhood in Athens. It is a nice neighborhood to walk around in, and it's easy to get from here to the funicular that goes to the top of Lykavettos. The hotel itself is great--Athens' answer to the ultracool W hotels. Our room was technologically sophisticated and very comfortable.... more

A very small hotel but very stylish, clean and very helpful staff. Minimalistic design all over with small touches of luxury. Stayed for 4 nights and was offered a free upgrade to a torpedo room (from a standard) when I mentioned that light gets in the room through the frosted bathroom glass door of the bathroom's window. Looking fwd to... more
