Amazing stay in Athens

Fantastic accommodations just at the base of the Lycabettus Hill. Hotel has a unique feature with F and B in that like but scrumptious snacks are included with your stay as well as non alcoholic beverages. Certainly a boutique hotel I wouldnt hesitate to stay there again

Must stay, incredible staff

Periscope hotel is in a great location and the staff is incredible. Gigi, a member of their office team went out of her way to accommodate us. We arrived late and she took care of ordering our dinner, getting us wine, and making sure our room was comfortable. I would stay at the Periscope Hotel again.

Great Athens Option

Loved the hotel, great room, great shower. Yummy free breakfast and 24-hour snacks. A little bit removed from the popular sites of Athens, but worth the extra walking!
