    We live together in room with 3 beds for 40 eur. Its comfort minimum for several nights if you want go to city center and Akropolis in 5 min. In 2 min several car rental offices, its was reason for us return a car and go to hotel fast.

    Share toilet and shower, trash bin is not easily to open.

    The location is very good which I can get to the acropolis in 15 minute walking and the stuff is helpful. Moreover, I booked a double room and they give me a bigger room which makes me very happy.

    The hostel is clean and well-maintained with friendly staff who are easily contactable. The location is great, close to the main street and a variety of restaurants. The hostel offers a continental breakfast and extra services like pre-ordered meals and access to a washing machine. The rooms are clean, with hanging space and a sink provided. a unique and enjoyable stay.

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    I had a great stay at Dioskouros. The location was perfect, situated in the center of all the attractions. The staff went out of their way to accommodate my request for a room change, and their friendly and helpful attitude made me feel welcome. The facilities were clean, including the outside area, and the rooms had AC which was a lifesaver in the summer heat. Additionally, the complimentary towel and close proximity to outlets for charging my phone were added bonuses. I highly recommend this hotel for its value and excellent service.

    The location is perfect.

    The bathrooms need some serious renovations. They were not very private or clean.

    We had a great stay in a really nice neighborhood. the hostel was conveniently located within walking distance to major attractions and had easy access to bus stops. the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. the community area had a lovely garden for eating and socializing. the hostel also provided a basic breakfast and had a kitchen to use.

    The bathroom cleanliness could have been improved.

    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 helpful. There is A/C but it is controlled by the staff who come to your room and put it on. Breakfast is included and consists of pancakes, chocolate spread, eggs, bread, jam and coffee. However if you turn up after 9am most of the food is gone. They also looked after our rucksacks on the last day before we went to the airport. Overall great value for money and great location.

    Location is perfect, and the ambience inside the terrace, especially in the mornings, is very nice. It opens up the space for conversations. Rooms depend on what you are assigned, but they are more than ok for the prize requested.

    A little bit more service on cleaning the rooms - chaging sheets would have been nice!

    Great location, close to the metro station and tourist shops, making it convenient for exploring the city center and attractions. Friendly and helpful staff who create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.- Enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, which had a good variety of options to start the day.

    The accommodation did not match the photos, with bunk beds instead of double beds, and old and small blankets. The bathrooms were not up to standard, being small and messy to use.

    very good location, many restaurants behind, and close to Acropolis. A good place to city trip. The pretty reception lady is very friendly and helpful :)

    The hotel have a air conditioner but it is said it cannot be use at this time of the year. But it is June in Athens. Also no mosquito coils. As we say it is too hot, the old man find a long time and give us an electric fan.

    Soap dispensers empty. Balcony door would not lock.
