The only good thing about this hotel was the location. The hotel is indeed very well located few minutes from the center of Plaka. In this area hotels are quite expensive and Dioskouros offers reasonable prices. However the hotel itself sucks, some rooms are really bad. There is a room just up the reception which was absolutely horrible. The ceiling... more

My fiance and I stayed here while backpacking. We booked through hostelbookers.com. The hotel is in a great location, perfect really for centrality to tourist sites. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was basic, with a bed and a window. I dont remember if there was A/C but we never got too hot or cold. The bathrooms... more

Good location close to the Plaka but the staff was very rude and didn't speak English well. Because of this they were not very helpful. The bathroom and shower situation was very awkward and water got everywhere. The bed was uncomfortable and the overall feeling of the room made us not want to spend anytime there. Breakfast was minimal and... more

The hostel is in a wonderful location central to all of Athens.

Shared bathrooms were average for... more

The man at the reception said he would get the aircon fixed the next day, but nothing was done. Only a standing fan was provided. Our room faces the... more

The showers are not great, the towel you get is no bigger than a flannel and breakfast is just tea/instant coffee, bread and jam - and they often run out of jam. We stayed for 3 nights and our room was not cleaned, nor were our sheets/towels/bins changed. But if you want to... more

Really cool place with a variety of people, great place to meet people. Rooms were simple but clean and comforatble. Would stay here again for sure more

At the end of August a friend and I were passing through Athens on our way to the Cyclades and had to spend a night in Athens. We chose the Dioskouros Guesthouse because we'd seen it on a few websites and read good reviews, and it is situated in the most pleasant area of Athens, Plaka. We were disappointed with... more

We hadn't planned to stay here, but the hotel we had wanted was booked up. We found Dioskouros in Lets Go Greece travel book, and decided to take a chance. We booked on the phone from Meteora. After driving back to Athens, and then 3 hours driving in circles IN Athens, we gave up, parked the car and called the... more
