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
