The staff are very helpful, and the lobby is comfortable. It is good to have an around the clock hot drinks self-service bar. The room was clean, and the shower is nice and strong. Yet, some rooms on the lower floors are dark: they look into the interior of the building, where light is limited. Standard rooms are also small, and strangely designed: no side tables by the bed, instead a shelf slightly above the floor level that cannot be used while one lies in bed: you would have to drop down your glasses, phone, or book.

Great hotel close to the core of Athens in a good neighborhood. Staff was great! They arranged pickup for us at the cruise port and transport to the airport when we left. As well they booked tours for us with a great tour company. Always there to help and with a greeting every time we entered or existed. A special bonus is that they put out all day snacks and drinks at no charge! This was a nice treat after a long day of checking out Athens or a coffee, tea and snack in the evening. Only thing to be aware of is a lack of multiple outlets/ports for charging all of our multiple technology devices. Bring an adapter that can handle a few devices at a time. Room came with slippers, robes, hair dryer, safe and lots of closet space and drawers for the longer stays. Easy walk to great restaurants, transit, hop on, hop off buses and attractions. Great place if you are traveling to this amazing city.

Terribly Disappointed

It was our last stop after a glorious two week stay on the Greek islands. What a big disappointment, luckily we were staying only one night. We were expecting a small, cool, boutique hotel. First impression: The lobby looked like a we were checking into a youth hostel. The room was smaller than a bread box, dark with a lovely view of an air shaft. Not the room pictured on their website, for sure. The bathroom door didn't close and the paint was peeling off the wall in the shower. Lastly the man at the front desk struggled to recommended restaurants to us in the neighborhood. They did have great products though in the bathroom by Korres and a lovely little restaurant off the otherwise bland lobby. But all in all it was a very disappointing end to what was a fabulous vacation in Greece.

This property is outstanding. The location of the Periscope in the Kolonaki section of Athens provided access to restaurants, shopping, and museums. The hotel is on a quiet street in a bustling neighborhood. The hotel and rooms are modern chic and clean. Staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. An excellent breakfast is available with complimentary snacks and beverages provided throughout the day. The Periscope is a top choice in Athens.
