The hostel was extremely helpful when we needed to leave additional pieces of luggage to venture to an island for a few days. They stowed our luggage for 2 euros a bag per day, but in the end charged only half that price! It was near Syntagma (Parliament and metro stop; 5 mins walk) which is a nicer part of the city. We felt safe walking to and from hostel. Near Plaka (market) and other ruins. Can walk to Acropolis! Room itself was clean, comfortable, & charming. Free breakfast. Great hostel!

The location is unbeatable. I walked everywhere. The staff are really friendly and i think they really make the place. The rooms are simple and in winter - really really cold. I had 3 blankets, luckily it was off season so not many people, which means i could have three. The other girl in my dorm had 4. It's COLD. The price however, is great and the breakfast, while basic was good enough to get me going in the morning.

The gentleman who greeted us was very nice and accommodating. The location was great. The breakfast wasn't very good but didn't expect alot. The garden level (basement) rooms are quite different from the rest of the rooms (dark and dingy - we transferred to a different room.)

A very comfortable place, really close to the Pathernon, from where you can go to the beach by tram. Breakfast is good.

The best things about Dioskouros were the VERY friendly staff and the great location - only a few minutes walk to the Acropolis.

Overall this a good place to stay for cheap. Not the fanciest or cleanest place. I wasn't a huge fan of the bathroom/shower situation. But for the money, the location and staff make it worth it.

The hostel was very nice in general, we were supossed to stay on a room for 3 but when they put us on a private of 2 for the same price so that we would be more comfortable :) The beds were average comfortable, the bathroom was clean and both hot and cold water worked perfectly. The breakfast was ok; toasts with jam, butter or honey, coffee, milk, eggs, and tea. the only problem was that it was freezing cold, I think that they have a problem with the heating system so i advise to bring blankets!

Excellent location, walking distance to historic places. The staff was ok. The others aspects just average but for the price and location it worth it.

Our 5 bedroom dorm was chilly because there was no heat (was there in Nov.). The breakfast was awful (toast and hard boiled eggs that were still runny, jam, and coffee). The showers were decent. Great location.
