Michelin Guide "Modern, minimalist hotel on a quiet residential street in an elegant district."
Frommer's "The Periscope is a concept hotel with an unusual concept: surveillance." Full review
Concierge "This contemporary design hotel may be more suited for solitary business travelers than couples on vacation."
Fodor's "This sleek concept hotel combines minimalist urban-chic design, amenity-filled rooms, and exceptional service for a truly relaxing experience." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The periscope mounted on top of this 21-room boutique hotel in elegant Kolonaki means even the ground-floor bar gets an aerial view of Athens (displayed on a TV screen)." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Just a 5-minute walk from Kolonaki Square, this smart design hotel opened in 2005. All rooms have wooden floors and minimalist furniture in blacks, greys and whites."
Rough Guide "Designer minimalism on a shopping street in Kolonáki; the name refers to a periscope camera set up on the roof, which guests can control and view the pictures."
Star Service "As much an outpost for hip Athenians as for travelers, this artistic haute-spot has been transformed from relatively banal boarding house...into a trendy magnate." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"In the posh Kolonaki neighborhood, about a 12-minute walk to Syntagma Square and Mount Lycabetus. The hotel is modern, sleek, and minimalist." Full review
Afar Magazine "Kolonaki is the affluent neighbourhood of Athens, but it's by no means a stuffy one." Full review

Lonely Planet "Set in a very quiet back street on the slopes of the Filopappou hill, this place is very close to the entrance to the Acropolis and, as it promises, offers some excellent views of that famous citadel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Many rooms at this small hotel, located on a quiet street near the Acropolis, live up to the hotel’s name, as does the popular roof garden."
Rough Guide "The location is the main attraction here, in what looks like a 1970s apartment block: rooms are small and a bit tired, though a/c and marble bathrooms are pluses."
OysterBudget
"The clue is in the name at the Acropolis View Hotel, where views of Athens' iconic monument are as good as its proximity to it." Full review
Frommer's "Rooms are on the small side, simply furnished, but most are freshly painted each year...it's a 15-minute walk from the Acropolis View into the heart of the Plaka." Full review
