Excellent location as there are many restaurants close by. The service staff were above excellent especially Nellie and Anastasia. They make one feel welcome and like home. Always anticipating our needs and extremely helpful. If anything, the rooms were a touch on the small side but the service made up for it. Will definitely come back.

We stayed here for 2 nights coming off a cruise and could not have picked a better place! Rooms are smaller but have everything you need. Shower is hot and AC works great! In a higher end area with lots of great shops, cafes and restaurants. Also, close to highlights like Acropolis and the National Park. The contintental breakfast looks plentiful but we did not eat it, instead choosing to venture out to the cafes. However, would not hesitate to participate next time. Our room was lovely and quiet with housekeeping being excellent! Bring adaptors for any things you need to plug in. Hair dryer in room worked great but had to use the plug in the main room because the one in the bathroom was not very strong. Cord was long enough that I was still able to use the bathroom mirror. Dimitris at the front desk was top notch! Answered any and all questions including showing us how to use the coffee machine and arranging taxi for airport. Thank you for a lovely way to end our trip! Would not hesitate to come back!!!

I loved the location — exclusive, luxurious, and pleasantly away from mass tourism. The hotel feels modern, stylish, and full of youthful energy. Check-in was perfect: fast, smooth, and highly professional. Special thanks to Nikos for the warm welcome and excellent service. The amenities are truly luxurious, everything was spotless, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, and I especially appreciated the wonderful gesture after 10:30 — complimentary Nespresso coffee, Ronnefeldt tea, cold drinks, and snacks available throughout the day. This is a very friendly hotel that offers a genuinely luxurious experience. I would happily stay here again.

I must say this is one of my favorite secret places! The friendly atmosphere, the welcoming and comfy decor. Not city center but walking distance to local restaurants and shops. If you are up for a good walk downhill to city center is about 15 minutes. I have bad knees soI uberd back uphill! Comfy rooms breakfast amenities and snacks throughout the day.

I stayed in the hotel for two nights for business, and I have to say Nelli from frontdesk is the most amazing, cheerful, friendly, and polite person I've ever seen in the hospitality business! She made me feel very welcome and taken care of. The rooms are super clean and the area is very quiet and classy. The hotel vibe is chill and alot of nice restaurants around it. Really enjoyed my stay and honestly Nelli made it ten times better. Thank you!

Don’t book if you value daylight. Standard rooms have a view into the void which feels like the backyard of a prison. Also that Rooftop spa is deliberately misleading - it’s only in the roof top suite and not accessible to guests. Wellness does not exist. It’s ‘outsourced’ to another hotel. Most frustrating is that the hotel description is deliberately misleading.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your impressions. We regret to read that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Kindly allow us to clarify that the Standard Room you originally booked is indeed our entry-level category, designed as a quiet and private option, and the room description on our website accurately reflects its layout. Following your concerns, we were glad to upgrade you to a Superior Room with a front-facing view. The rooftop jacuzzi is part of our Penthouse Suite and is exclusive to that room category, as stated in its description. Likewise, wellness facilities are offered in collaboration with our sister property, and this is clearly mentioned on our official website. We truly value your feedback and hope we may welcome you back for a more seamless experience in the future. Kind regards, Yiannis Nikolaidis Hotel Operations Manager

My second visit to Periscope Hotel and both times have been exemplary. The lady at reception is without a doubt the friendliest person I have ever encountered in a hotel in all my years The place is clean, the rooms are spacious, the air con is quiet and works very well. Sleep is not a problem as someone who struggles with noise it is one of the quieter areas in Athens and I’ve sleep well on both trips. There are snacks and drinks available in reception for free throughout the day. Can’t comment on the breakfast as it was on the pricier side. This is my go to when in Athens

My husband and I stayed at the Periscope Hotel in Athens, Greece to celebrate our 40th anniversary and what a delight it was! Everyone from front desk to housekeeping to managment was extraordinarily wonderful - friendly, helpful, anxious to tell us about the city, make recommendations, reservations, or lend us a tablet to solve our cell phone problem the minute we checked in. Over the course of our stay in Greece, we stayed in 3 rooms and each was perfect. Of course, the penthouse with it's private rooftop hot tub was the most perfect! We had booked a standard room using Marriott Bonvoy points and were immediately upgraded to a superior room. The room is sleek and modern, comfortable bed,and is cleaned daily. The penthouse was a real treat! Huge room with a sitting area, great view, the works. The location is very convient with loads of shops and restaurants, the National Botanical Garden, the Plaka, and more just minutes away. It is a very walkable area. There is snack food, coffee and other drinks available in the lobby all the time. We loved the Periscope and their staff so much that we will definely be returning on our next trip to Athens! Give it a try; you won't be sorry!

The staff was exceptional !! It made our time in Athens a joy !! If you are a 1st timer in Athens or an experienced visitor- I highly recommend the Periscope hotel. Remember it is a boutique hotel- so the location is perfect- the hotel has a limited number of rooms and the staff are truly welcoming and knowledgeable. The staff made this an outstanding experience.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and your warm recommendation. We are truly delighted to hear that our team helped make your time in Athens so enjoyable. As a boutique hotel, we take great pride in offering personalized service, and it means a lot to us that this stood out during your stay.

A truly lovely find in Athens’ elegant Kolonaki neighborhood; close to everything, sleek boutique hotel with very comfortable and well-appointed rooms and an absolutely wonderful staff, this is a great pied-a-terre far from the mega or touristy hotels. With very few rooms, the vibe is hip, chic and understated. The staff clearly loves their city and are happy to offer recommendations for restaurants that were spot-on in terms of delicious and great people-watching. In a busy, noisy city like Athens, it’s wonderful to stay in a quiet, comfortable and welcoming hotel.

Creating a quiet and welcoming retreat in the heart of the city is exactly what we strive for, and your kind words are the best reward. We truly look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Athens. Warm regards, Yiannis Nikolaidis Hotel Operations Manager
