Candia Hotel

The metro and bus are close to the hotel. The hotel staff is friendly. The breakfast was good and fresh. The pool on the roof is great with a beautiful view of the city. The hotel is located in the center of the city. The furniture in the room is a bit old fashioned but for this money this hotel is perfect.Air conditioning helps in the hot nights.A small fridge as well.

For this money I can't complain about anything. One does not want to expect complete perfection for little money. We had clean bed linen, toilet paper, clean towels every morning, delicious and fresh food, a swimming pool on the roof with a beautiful view.

Rooms were great, super clean, beds comfy and it had a fantastically well stocked breakfast. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. The price was good and the location is inbetween 2 Metro stations, on the easy to navigate Athens underground Metro system. We ate at 4 eateries in walking distance, and they were all great. Particular mention for the Egyptian kebab shop up the road, ALI MERAKLI, that we went to twice in a row. The roof bar was a surprise, with views to the Acropolis and a fantastic menu till late. What a find at this price point.

Not the hotels fault, but there are a few abandoned buildings in the area and we walked past a homeless druggie passed out in a doorway. But that is city life, and we nevertheless walked around a lot with our kids. Never feeling unsafe. But Athens is a gritty European city.

Our immaculately cleaned room had a superb view, almost matching that of the roof top terrace. Roof top terrace sublime when weather permitted. Breakfast more than enough for any size of early morning hunger. Staff friendly and efficient. Special thanks to Babis and Isabella on the Rooftop Terrace - watched them cope with a huge influx of tour party drinkers (anxious to make the most out of Happy Hour) with calmness and dexterity. Always kind to my lady and I, well worthy of praise. The hotel is conveniently located for all the major sites - a max of 30 mins from the City Centre. Dinner can be found nearby at 'Tasty Corner;' a local bar/cafe/restaurant. Very reasonably priced with huge portions, well worth a visit, again staff kind, friendly and efficient!

If you select a room with Acropolis views expect a certain amount of noise form the main road and railway near the front of the hotel. Negated somewhat by closing the sliding patio door, it is worth the compromise. Our weather was unseasonably poor - can't be helped. Room are a little bit compact but considering location and price we paid not a major issue.

The staff was extremely friendly towards us. They went out of their way to give us information about Athens and the public transportation. Very appreciated. The room was in perfect since for me and my teenage son. It also had a little pool on the roof top, which was nice in the evening with a nice view.

The roof top would have been even nice if someone would buy in furnitures for the roof top bar more resembling a lounge bar, then a little cafeteria. Just because the potential is much higher when you have a roof top bar with a pool.

The service at the front desk, the staff cleaning our room, the pool side bar,food and drinks. Accessibility to walk to many things we wanted to look at. Larrisa Station was only 5 mins away. If you are going to Piraeus ask staff at the station, there is a change of train half way there. You just exit the train door walk across the platform and enter the other train. We only discovered this by chance. The pool was amazing and the views over Athens were quite beautiful.

Nothing

The location of the hotel was between 2 metro stations so we can easily access to the city center. The staff was very kind and helpful to us. The room was small but well organized.

The hotel was on the suburb of Athens there were many local transportation offices and unfortunately there were many homeless people lying on the streets.

I missed a train and got stuck in Athens for the night. I booked this place last minute and it was a positive surprise. Beds were comfortable and the decor was ok. You can admire an unobstructed view of the Acropolis from the rooftop bar - do check it out even though there are some nice places in the area. The rooftop pool looked inviting but it was very popular with the other guests.

The area around the station has a bad reputation so I was not too keen on exploring it after dark. However, the staff recommended some very nearby places with decent food. The room did not have complimentary water (many places in Greece do) but it did have a kettle and tea/coffee.

We loved it. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about activities to book. The rooms were a decent size with big beds, a TV, kettle and bathroom. The swimming pool at the top with the bar and restaurant was absolutely lovely, with great views of Athens. With breakfast included too, the price was extremely reasonable.

The only thing was the area. If you walked up the road it felt a little unsafe, but in other directions it was fine, and the metro was a very quick walk away to get to the main city which was safe.

clean and pleasant; excellent breakfast. close to the train station

challenging to teach from the airport. it would be helpful to know the yellow line for the suburban train train goes to Larissa Station- NOT the metro. If you intend to go by taxi, you need the Uber app and must call to arrange a ride. The front desk was not able to help us with this, and only one of 4 people had internet access - and that was sketchy…. once we arrived, the hotel was just what we needed.

Staff were superb, and the newly installed rooftop pool and bar (May 2022) are excellent, and perfect for relaxing in during the day or in the evening after exploring. The breakfast buffet was also good, and the rooms were well air-conditioned and comfortable.

The rooms are slightly small - we had a double as a couple and could fit the suitcase on the floor or desk, but not a lot of room to move round in. The pool and other services were great and therefore can overlook the room size, especially as we were out most days.
