Fantastic service. The location is great. Very close to everything : food,archeological sites,metro. Easy to go around by foot. You might not see the Acropolis from your window but for the price and all, it's really not a big deal! I had a great 3 days in Athens because of the staff! Keep on the good work :)

We arrived early in the morning from Sofia by bus. Walk for 2.5km to get to the hostel. This old guy at the reception get our room ready instantly while we wait at the common area and have breakfast - pancakes, bread. Initially we booked for 4 beds mixed dorm from hostelworld but got free upgrade for private room but... More

We were initially unimpressed with this place. Small room, no private bathroom as advertised. We were moved to a better room on next nights. Airconditioning was present but did not work, if it did you paid extra! I was very close to Plaka with all its restaurants and shops. Plus it was a short walk to the entrance for the... More

The location of the Dioskourous Hostel is excellent and is only a few minutes from the main square, Acropolis and Plaka. It is a backpackers hostel but it is good value for money and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is A/C but it is controlled by the staff who come to your room and put it on... More

We stayed there 3 nights 11 June 2012, a family of 4 Hostel Dioskouros is on a back street walking distance to all the archaeological sites, museums and old town, it's old and not salubrious but OK for the purpose, owner and staff were warm and welcoming, more important than spic and span with grumpy staff and anyway we were...

A great location but other than that it's terrible. When a hotel lists a/c is a feature on their website you usually expect it to be free, but they don't tell you until you check in that it's an extra 10eur a night. The beds are lumpy and really uncomfortable, I used the blanket for one night and had bites... More

Other than the location of the place, I cannot recommend staying here. The person who runs the place is unfriendly, we arrived and they could not find our reservation and we were put in dorms instead of the room we reserved (we even had an email confirmation of our reservation from THEM), they claimed not to take credit cards when...

DO not stay here. The showers do not have doors, the blankets are yuck. Breakfast is non existent.

Hotel Dioskouros is located on one hand on very quiet street but also very close to Acropolis, Plaka and Monastiraki so you can go for a walk in the evening and you don't have to worry how to get back to your hotel. That's big advantage. But it's just a hostel so you shouldn't expect much: it is clean, wireless... More
