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.

Good 4 star hotel

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.

Area looks a little grubby, but it’s not dangerous in any way. A couple of great little restaurants nearby (Tasty Corner doesn’t look much, but it’s really good) and easy to get into the centre of Athens.

Fine if you need to be in this area

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.

Sufficiently fine but left me furious

It’s a fine hotel on the metro line and a 30 minute walk from the Acropolis. My biggest problem was the failure to listen to me when I paid the city tax. I asked to use the pin on my credit card rather than swipe it and they immediately swiped it. Therefore, my card was declined. I gave them my second card and said again I need to use the pin. Don’t swipe it. And they swiped it too. So now both my cards were declined and did not work the rest of my two week trip. I had to rely on the safety cash I carry. To say I was furious does not truly describe how I felt.

Candia Hotel was super comfy and we felt right at home there! We loved the giant balcony and the rooftop pool with view of the acropolis. We saw every single sunset up there, sitting by the pool, looking out over the rooftops of Athens. It was stunning! You are only minutes from the subway and everything is within reach. I wish we could have stayed longer. We can definitely recommend this place! If we ever come back to Athens, we would definitely stay there again. 5-star rating!!
