Candia Hotel

The front desk staff (especially Dino) was very kind and helpful. The pool and rooftop are amazing with a wonderful view of the city, it made up for the room that was small for my family of 4. Unfortunately they were full so they couldn’t relocate us. I love my family that was definitely to close for comfort! It is located a little outside from the main attraction but cabing is easy and a good price. I recommend the place.

The rooftop pool and bar was just what we needed!! It was a great way to relax on a day we had no tours. The location wasn't surrounded by any cute parts of Athens which is why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars but it was right near the metro. If you dont need to just walk out the door

The staff were friendly. Breakfast was nice. We arrived earlier than check in so we waited on the rooftop patio. Our safe wouldn’t work on check in. A guy came to fix it but couldn’t fix it and then just said oh well about it as if it wasn’t a big deal. Front desk offered for me to leave my items in their safe at the lobby, I didn’t like this option either. I paid extra for acropolis view room. We were on 6th floor so our view was the towers and items on the other buildings blocking the acropolis view. The view in the images is from the rooftop. This view was beautiful like the pictures but I wouldn’t pay to have this view from the room as that is not the view from the room. Also on the 6th floor means all night you hear the scraping of chairs back and forth from the restaurant above which makes it very hard to sleep. The mattress was the hardest thing I’ve ever slept on and the top was just a thick tablecloth not a comforter or anything cozy. One large bottle of water provided each day was nice. The location was about 25 euro to monastiraki and to acropolis.

Hotel was nice but area surrounding hotel is very rundown and didn’t feel safe especially in the evening. View of the Parthenon is very distant not like it showed in pictures. Food as vegans was very limited even though we’d stated dairy and egg allergies. Literally fruit for breakfast or bowl of pasta for dinner. Room was lovely, bed was comfy. Balcony overlooked railway and rundown properties on other side of railway line.

Great location helpful staff

Beds a little hard and rooms are small but very clean and convenient. The rooftop bar/restaurant are awesome

We recently spent three nights here. On arrival the area didn’t seem to be the best but once we got to know the area it was fine. The hotel is great and conveniently located near the metro, supermarket and a bakery. Giorgos on reception is an absolute diamond geezer. We had a problem the 1st night with American students partying below us until 4am and the music started again at 8am. We spoke to Giorgos in the morning and he said he would sort it. Didn’t hear another sound for the rest of our stay. Handled very professionally. The rooftop bar has a stunning view of the Parthenon. We went up there every night. The barman there, whose name we didn’t get was also a top bloke. We didn’t use the rooftop pool as it was either too windy or all the students were in it. All in all we would recommend this hotel.

They had a huge steamer in the room for your clothes, a rainfall shower, they had a fridge, the breakfast was so delicious we were almost late for our flight.

The room was dated. No chair. Only one charging point high above the bed. I had little water for shower.

Part of the items on breakfast were fresh. The room was very clean. The amenities were good. Wish there was a microwave.

There was a paid service but not a shuttle. The hotel itself was not very clean and the food wasn’t great. The location was uninteresting.

The experience at the end was fine, but it didn't start very well. On our first night we were were put on the 6th floor, supposedly an upgrade, with a view of the Acropolis, but the room was terrible. The decor dated, and the worst part was the bathroom, not even worthy of a 1 star hotel. On top of it all, the soundproofing of the room was terrible and we could hear every passing scooter's exhaust noise. On complaining, we were shifted to what was available for the next night, which was an accessibility room, but still much much better than what we endured on our first night. The following night we were eventually moved to a modern and spacious room on the fourth floor where we stayed comfortably for the next 3 nights. Apparently, 4th and 5th floors were refurbished in the previous years, and you could tell. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast was decent. The hotel's location close to the metro station is ideal for exploring the city and airport transfer. I would have given 5 stars if we had stayed from the start in the room we eventually spent 3 out of our 5 nights booked.

Love it

Please avoid for your own benefit. I have stayed in many hotels across the world, this is by far the worst. Worse than a 2-star. Problems: 1) Rude and unhelpful staff. No welcome to us after arriving late in night and no simple ‘thank you for your stay.’ Just a single demand to pay their city tax before we even got our room. 2) No hot water to shower on 1st night (1.30am). We were told, couldn’t be fixed for at least 30mins. 3) Construction (drilling and hammering) at 7.45am after first night. No-one could sleep through this, not even Sleeping Beauty. 4) Room supplies (eg. Bottled water, Coffee sachets, shower gel, shampoo) - only complimentary on the FIRST night. 5) After complaining about noise (7.45am) we requested to move room which was granted. Same problems with constriction noise. 6) Reception staff said Hotel Manager not available but would speak to him when he came back, for us to speak to him. No feedback from reception or Manager at all. 7) We were told bags would be kept in safe storage place. On day of leaving, only place we could leave them was next to reception (accessible to public). Honestly and sincerely, you would much more than this, particularly for a 4-star hotel. You would think they would value loyalty by staying extra nights. Please avoid as you will be disappointed.

Lovely place to stay for few nights with beautiful view from the terrace on Acropolis. Everything was perfect there . Staff very friendly , fresh food on breakfast and rooms cleaned every day . In my opinion 10/10 !!!

Nice, big room. Good service

Very good staff, very clean hotel

Property is average but has a great rooftop view. And nice area to relax and have drinks with food. Rooms are clean but needs an upgrade. Overall it's a nice place to stay.

Lovley spacious clean room with a fantastic bathroom and the best shower ever. Plenty of room for my friend and I and as ladies, we appreciated the mirrors in all the places we needed them with excellent overhead lighting for doing make up etc! The location is fine, not the most salubrious but we always felt safe and the head reception chap, Giorgio, was absolutely lovely. Just a shame I emailed the hotel twice to ask if there was definitely a kettle in the room and they didn’t respond. So I took my travel kettle and it wasn’t needed. It’s just off a busy main road so quite noisy but the balcony door closed meant we still had a good night sleep.

Close to airport train and rooftop bar was amazing. The bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable, and could definitely do with a new mattress.
