"Whole Athens in a Precious Hotel"

A very beautiful concept for a city hotel!! Periscope is a luxury small hotel that combines perfection, excellent service, charming staff and the most recently technology services!

I stayed in 402 suite which was very spacious, with all comforts, impressive & luxury bathroom with HACCP floor, corres toileteries and simple but practical furniture! very beautiful pics of athens and impressive lighten pics of athens day & by night!

laptop available for business connection, dvd free rentals, plasma tv, fully equipied mini bar and a sweety welcome of sunseeds in different chocolate colors !!

The breakfast was promissing, the staff extra nice & efficient!
Periscope is actually in the center of everything (kolonaki area).
Don't miss it in your visit to athens.

i will be back for sure!

- It's not a 5* Hotel as indicated, but rather a 3*, or max 4* according to Grec lower standards. Very expensive but the location is perfectand rare, therefore I may come again.

"Great location, great service - a real find"

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 keep the light out. The beds are huge and really comfortable. All of these things add up to a good night's sleep.

The bathrooms, too, are big and well-equipped with a powerful shower. There are nice touches such as bathroom scales and robes.

The breakfast was really good and included some items (crepes, mozarella & tomato skewers, a good range of breads), that made it much nicer than the average hotel breakfast.

Only thing to watch out for is the mini-bar and room service tariff, which are quite expensive.

We have stayed in hotels in Athens before and this is the first one I can honestly say was really enjoyable, and that we would definitely go back to.

"Great service! Great hotel!"

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 calmed me down and called my last hotel to sort out the mess. He even followed up with me later to make sure that everything was ok. This was above and beyond what I would have expected, and his calming presence was greatly appreciated. He was a big help.

As for the hotel itself, the room was very modern and chic. There are some really nice touches to the rooms (flat screen tvs, chocolate covered sunflower seeds waiting for you in your room). Breakfast was great. You can make your own crepes (even though they are all cold), and there is a good selection of sweet and savory.

I would not hesitate to stay here again!

"Hits the Target"

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 an extensive selection. However, the BEST thing about Periscope is the staff. They were so helpful and friendly. Not only did they answer questions and help out with necessities, but actually seemed to like the guests. The (very cute) morning breakfast attendant came over at one point to explain some old coins that my friend had purchased. The front desk attendants gave excellent recommendations on restaurants and sights. Everything was done with a smile.

The only very slight problem for a light sleeper like me is that since there is no carpeting in the halls, the sound does carry quite a bit. The first night it woke me up when they started setting up for breakfast and I believe a door was opening and closing. The sound carried up a floor and down to my room. I asked if they could move me but that wasn't possible. However, the front desk person said she would ask to be more cautious about the door. It seemed to work. If you are a light sleeper, possibly ask to be on a higher floor.

Plaka Area
 
As soon as you start walking around Plaka's stone-paved, narrow streets, you will have the feeling that you are travelling back in time. This is Athens' oldest and, thanks to the restoration efforts which went into its buildings in recent years, most picturesque neighbourhood. You will be delighted by the beauty of the neo-classical colours of its houses, their architecture, their lovingly tended little gardens, the elegance, and the total atmosphere of the area. In Plaka, even the air is different; lighter, clearer, scented, like a gift from the gods. More Plaka
