Easy to find. Complimentary coffee. Some of the cheapest room in the center, convenient to take airport bus from syntagma square. Extra nice receptionist.

Mpinson, France

The location was amazingly good and the staff certainly helpful and nice! the hotel is easy to find and very near to the Acropolis and local transport system.

Ariana, Germany

Close to Syntagma square where we could catch a bus to the airport, only a short 6 minute walk to the bus stop. Liked that reception was 24 hours. Restaurants and shops only short walk away. Relatively cheap price for a private 2 bedroom.

Great location & very friendly staff and guests. Close to everything ! We love Athens.

Lis, United States of America

I stayed here in 4 bed female dorm. The staff were extremely nice and helpful but unfortunately the property is so run down. Location was very close to the Acropolis.

Zainab, Bahrain

Location, as usual, is a strong suit of hostels, and Diouskouros also has this advantage. It has an easy acess to the main points of the city. And also, the front desk girls are friendly and helpfull.

Stay in the Heart of Athens –

Centrally located under the Acropolis in the historical quarter of Plaka and close to the new museum, Hostel Dioskouros features air-conditioned accommodations. All rooms offer Acropolis or Athens views.

Each of the simply furnished units at the Dioskouros features a balcony and shared bathroom facilities.

Dioskouros Hostel includes a garden where guests can relax and have breakfast. Free Wi-Fi access is available in public areas. Staff at the 24-hour reception can offer travel information and arrange transportation around mainland Greece.

The cobbled streets of Plaka are full of Byzantine churches, ancient sites and tavernas. Syntagma Metro Station with links to the Airport and Piraeus Port is a 5-minute walk. Dioskouros’s guests have quick access to Glyfada Beach by tram.

This is our guests' favorite part of Athens, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.

An Inside Look at Dioskouros Hostel

Chilled and laidback is how we roll at Dioskouros, the funkiest little hotel in Plaka. Most competitive rates in Plaka. Breakfast is free. Relax in our beautiful garden and get to know fellow travellers. Our team of locals will guide you beyond postcard culture and cliches to culinary treats, hidden archaeological gems, fantastic beaches and sizzling nightlife (the owner, Stav, is a concert promoter, so check with him about where to go out). After exploring Athens all day come and relax in the garden.

Area Info – Guests loved walking around the neighborhood!

Athens' old town is nicknamed "the Neighborhood of the Gods" with good reason – its picture-perfect alleys are located directly under the Acropolis.
