Hostel Dioskouros - Hostel

The staff at the hostel were very kind and helpful, and they took care of all our requests. The location is great, close to Plaka and many main attractions. However, the bathrooms could be better organized, and the rooms could be more comfortable. A renovation of the overall structure would also improve the experience.

This is a lovely place to stay in the heart of Plaka. Clean room, sharing with 3 ladies, good service, reception open all the time with very friendly people. I will go back there.

I stayed at this hostel and found it to be a great value for the price. I also enjoyed breakfast—it’s better to be early so you have more choices. The staff were friendly and even let me check in early at no extra fee. Although the interior isn’t very new, it remains clean. The hostel is very close to many attractions, like the Acropolis Museum. I wasn’t a fan of having only one bathroom with two toilets for a few rooms, but it wasn’t a problem since it wasn’t busy. Overall, it’s safe and quiet.

Location was perfect. It is located close to t Plaka and the acropolis. If you are looking just for sleep I recommend it. It's a little noisy at night because the structure

Booked monhts in advance for a room in june. Contacted me two weeks in advance to tell me the room is overbooked because there was an issue in their system. Mind you, I already paid a deposit fee through the app I booked with (hostelworld). I chose the no cancellation option when i booked and now there is a chance I will be charged for the cancellation because of a mistake of the hotel. I’ve read other reviews in this section and there are many other clients who went through the same situation in the last months. Seems a bit weird that this type of situation happens this often. And why are they contacting me last minute when i booked in the beginning of april. It is now june…

Cons: no free soap and shampoo. The bed cover (brown color in the pic) is very smelly! I guess they never change it. The covers and pillow case are clean but the pillows itself are very smelly too, smells like a sweaty person has been using it. Even though the covers are clean, it doesn't cover the smell of the pillow. It's a bit gross to be honest. Its hard if you carry a luggage because they have no lift. Pros: free breakfast, cleanliness in the room is ok, close to plaka, metro and bus station.

The hostel is conveniently located in the center, it was reasonably clean. The rooms were pretty small for 4 people. We actually booked a 3 person bedroom, which looked a lot more appealing, but we were given another dorm without notice or anyone to talk too, since staff was only there for check-out. Hostelworld and Google Maps Website says there is a possibility for luggage storage, but it was not available during our stay. Doors in our dorm were very squeaky and loud, waking everyone up in the room as soon as someone enters or leaves. This was very annoying, since it seams easy to fix. Same can be said about the wooden bunk beds. They are very sketchy and shaky, seam to be for kids and are extremely noisy when making the slightest move. Not to mention the real fear of having the bed collapse during sleep (Im below 80kg ...). Bathrooms were acceptably clean, but the only shower on our floor that you could lock was missing a curtain, so everything was constantly flooded. Its annoying and easily fixable issues like these that left a below average impression.

If you like to be wake at 3.00am by the cleaner every night, send message to the manager who’s never answered and enjoy a poor breakfast at 9.30, time 8.00 to 10.00, here is the place you have to go !!
