Candia Hotel

Everything was great except the street noise.

Our recently renovated room was excellent. Housekeeping was great. Loved the rooftop dipping pool, bar and lounge. 360 degree views of Athen including the acropolis! Cute little balcony. Great breakfast…and all very affordable and good value for the money. The location was somewhat sketchy…graffiti everywhere, garbage in the streets, but we stuck to the main streets and didn’t go out after dark.

Clean room

Friendly staff. Updated comfortable room.
Near metro stationm

The sink was clogged they should fixed it first before allowing guests to occupy. The moment we enter the room I saw the floor was dirty. We don’t have anymore chance to complain and move to other room because we are leaving early morning.

Rooftop pool and bar was comfortable and gave great views of the Acropolis, especially at night when it was lit up. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. We arrived before check in time and provided luggage storage to allow us to explore the area around the hotel. Great buffet breakfast provided each morning.

Close to Metro transport, safe and quite.

Needs proper outlets for international visitors to be able to charge phones, laptops etc.

It was clean and really close to the train station

Not the best area in Athens

Great amenities like pool

I booked a room with a friend. We really enjoyed the stay staff and service was incredible. Plenty of parking nearby. They have a very nice pool on the roof (not heated).

Clean rooms, very helpful and polite staff. Nice pool, great rooftop restaurant.

Enjoy my stay in the comfort room

We had a pleasant stay at the Candia Hotel. The staff were very nice and helpful. The hotel is showing a bit of age but this was not a problem, our room was somewhat basic but had everything we needed. The rooftop area is great - great view of the Acropolis, the pool is very refreshing, and the bar and food are decent and very convenient. There is also a pedestrianised street a few blocks away with several decent food options like pizza, Greek food and gyros. There are also minimarts around and a supermarket about 5 minutes walk. However the back streets around the hotel have a quite edgy feel so we avoided after dark and used normal street smarts but at the same time had no problem at all and saw nothing untoward. The hotel is 3 - 5 metro stops from the main tourist area.

We booked three days here to explore Athens after a 7 day boat trip around the Saronic Islands. The standard of the hotel was very good and the staff pleasant. The rooftop pool is really just a plunge pool, so you cannot really swim in it and the location is close to the less salubrious part of town, so walking in the wrong direction took us into some dodgy areas. However go to the nicer parts of Athens and it is an excellent city to explore and wine and dine in.
The rooms were very clean with air-conditioning and the beds large and comfortable. The bathroom was excellent with good rainshower heads.
The selection of TV channels was a little disappointing with really only CNN as an English speaking channel.
We enjoyed the happy hour for cocktails on the rooftop bar which has stunning views of the city and the Acropolis being one of the highest buildings around.
All in all a fitting end to a luxurious holiday.

Very reasonable rate.
Reception on arrival was friendly and very helpful.
Location excellent near two Metro stations.
Cherry on the top - roof top swimming pool, restaurant and stunning view of Acropolis by night.
Overall great value for money and positive experience.

The first night in room 517 was amazing - lights everywhere, walk in shower.
2nd night and a change of rooms to 211. This room has no lights except for the bathroom, the bathroom door is incredibly hard to slide open & shut, and the street noise is rather loud.
I cannot fathom the difference between the 2 rooms in this hotel. No lights is a new one for me.

Metrostation Larissa op 5 minuten loopafstand. Hotel is 20-25 minuten loopafstand van het centrum. Omgeving van hotel niet echt uitnodigend om rondje te wandelen. Goed hotel voor een stedentrip. Heeft ook een rooftopbar en zwembad met uitzicht op het akropolis. Kamer is wat niet geheel geluidsdicht (hoort verkeer van buiten en andere hotelgasten op de gang of de kamer ernaast) en is wat verouderd maar is wel schoon en netjes. Personeel is aardig. Ontbijt is simpel. Kan ook kiezen om in het centrum te ontbijten voordat je je excursie gaat doen. Ik was zeer tevreden.

Hotel is definitely average, kind of old, small things not maintained. Room 603 has a view of the Acropolis but there are antennas in the way. The shower head is at waist level. The door lock is questionable. The room is small given it’s a “premium” room.
Breakfast is good. The large balcony was really nice. The shower had hot water. The AC worked well.
I wouldn’t stay again as it was a 30 minute walk into the downtown.
