I had a great stay at Periscope Hotel! The location in Kolonaki is superb, with easy access to shops and attractions, and the staff were super helpful. I loved the cozy vibe and the modern decor, but the breakfast could use some improvement since it wasn't very substantial. Overall, it's a solid choice for a boutique experience in Athens.

My stay at Periscope was truly really good, but there were a couple of areas that could use improvement. The staff made my experience nice with their personalized service, remembering my breakfast preferences and making me feel at home. The location in Kolonaki was fantastic, as I could easily walk to various attractions. However, I found the room to be quite small, and the furniture could have been more practical.
