"In a sedate residential neighborhood two blocks from its sibling...this family-run hotel is, like its relative, an inviting small operation in a surprisingly quiet and convenient location." Full review

"This sleek concept hotel combines minimalist urban-chic design, amenity-filled rooms, and exceptional service for a truly relaxing experience." Full review
"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
"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."
"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."
"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

"Kolonaki is the affluent neighbourhood of Athens, but it's by no means a stuffy one." Full review
