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
