Periscope

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.

Good service. Bus stop to airport 15 minues from the hotel.

There are features in this hotel I've either never seen before in other hotels or are treats available at only few hotels. The snacks they over nearly all day are really useful in a pinch when you're trying to wait until dinner to eat - organic crisps, fruit, water, cokes (diet and sugar), fresh cakes - everything is selected with care. The rooms are extremely comfortable - several pillows on the bed and the linens are cushy and comfy. The tv is made to be very easy to watch from the bed with several channels, although for Americans you'll have to choose from BBC, CNN or Al Jazeera - no entertainment television. Electronics shades and shutters on the windows allow for just the amount of sunlight and privacy you desire. There's a tablet for streaming that I didn't find very useful because it didn't have the basic US streaming channels for adults but it's a nice offering. Nice bath products and a nice sized shower. The bathroom is quite large for that region. They even have a scale so you can track your weight while you're enjoying the amazing food available and the beautiful indoor/outdoor cafes and restaurants in the area. This is just the most beautiful neighborhood in Athens - lovely to just walk around and actually quite nice shopping. Delis and places to buy fruit or cakes if you'd like, and just a half block from one of the best breakfast cafes in Athens: Queen Bee. I loved this hotel and am going to tell all of my friends to stay there. p.s. Anastasia goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome and attended to. She was wonderful!

Great boutique hotel in upscale Konolanki neighborhood. Very quiet, close enough to sights, very close to restaurants and shopping. Stayed in Penthouse 601 with jacuzzi on roof. Excellent stay. Staff is first rate. Thank you Thanos, Anastasia, and Nellie! You made our stay extra special and we would stay here again! Recommend Queen Bee for breakfast just around the corner. It's fantastic.

Wow, we loved this hotel! We booked the Penthouse, as it has a hot tub on the roof and it did not disappoint. The location is prefect. It’s in a nice trendy area and around 10mins walk right into the centre of town. We didn’t try breakfast at the hotel as there were so many brunch spots we wanted to try, but a really nice touch is that there are always drinks and pastries in the reception that you can grab at any time at no extra cost. Nelli on the reception was really friendly on arrival and every time we spoke to her throughout the stay. I would 100% recommend this hotel and Athens in general

Pros Good neighborhood - quiet and felt safe Early check in offered Great air conditioning Clean Complimentary drinks/snack in afternoon Cons No welcome gift/acknowledgement for platinum membership Breakfast not included when booking on points ( would have been 20 EUR per person to add and totally not worth it) Rooms very small Bathroom has frosted glass only so wakes up partner if using in the night - and no sound proofing at all for using toilet Not enough hooks in bathroom for towels Really liked location but would def pick another Marriott property if we came again.

Incredibly wonderful. Reservation process easy, staff made dinner reservations, helped with transportation, endlessly cordial and capable, room well appointed and perfectly quiet, on a quiet, residential, safe street, countless neighborhood restaurants to walk to, nice upscale boutique shops, short walk to National Garden, various museums, Lykavettos Hill for a great walk and view, very nice included breakfast selection. We had a private tour pickup at the door for a great day of seeing the high points of Athens. Cannot say enough about the charming and helpful staff.

Great service location Go to cable car to Lycabettus hill beautiful panorama of city and Acropolis Free snacks around 5 Katherinia was 1st class and hotel rooms have Greek character Taxi cab driver John provided hospitality and history of acropolis. Plaka and parliament walking distance and gardens are wonderful. Very safe district for tourists.

Thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at the Periscope. Well appointed, Complimentary snacks and soft drinks in lounge throughout the day very welcome. Welcoming and helpful reception staff. Great location - in heart of up-market Kolonaki area with numerous good restaurants a stone's throw away. Lycabettus (a must see) funicular train to summit is just 5 minutes away. Main ancient sites of Athens (Parthenon, Ancient Agora, etc) and the nightlife of Plaka are 20 to 30 minutes walk away. Be warned, however - the area of Kolonaki is located on the side of a very steep hill!!
