Periscope is a minimal city hotel with an impressive urban architecture, located on a quiet street, minutes away from Kolonaki square. The hotel draws its name from its electric periscope, a fantastic way to visit Athens from a distance! In the Lounge Bar, guests can find a remote control for a periscope located on the roof of the hotel. With a 360 degree range, the periscope's views, which guests select, are shown real time on a big plasma TV. more » « less

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

This is a very stylish little hotel in a great location. More importantly, it is really well thought-out and the customer service is excellent - you really do feel that the staff are trying as hard as they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Despite the central location the hotel is extremely quiet and has blinds that... more

When I checked into this hotel, I immediately freaked out while I was at the front desk when I realized that the last hotel that I stayed in (on one of the Greek Islands) did not give me back my passport and I had a flight the next morning. When the manager, Giannis Liakopoulos, saw that I was stressed, he... more

I just stayed at the Periscope and was very pleased. The room I had, a standard, is small but perfectly suitable. They are however, much more plush than most at this price level. As can be read; great beds, DVD players, nice bedside lighting, great bathroom, power blinds, good minibar, etc. The breakfast is top notch, and the bar has... more
