    We had read the reviews about the area and so we were aware that it wasn’t the nicest. Having said that we walked at night to find a great Greek restaurant a couple of blocks away and returned late from the station and walked again and had no issues at all. We stayed twice at this hotel and had a superior room the first time and had no issues with noise from the busy road. When we returned we stayed in a comfort room and the traffic noise was very loud which made it difficult to sleep. If staying there again we would opt for a superior room.

    The hotel was within close proximity to the Larissa station which was great. There was a pool and lovely rooftop with a bar, where you could see the Acropolis. The rooms were a good size and they had complimentary tea, coffee and water which we really appreciated.

    The pool was great until it was taken over day in/day out by younger tourists every day we were there. Wasn't very relaxing.

    We did enjoy the pool...and we loved Vasa (sorry if i got that wrong!) She was lovely and gave us some great sites to visit, other than the norm.

    Could not use the phone to make local calls, Breakfast was clod ever day. The outside of the hotel was not great. I enjoy swimming so in that part i was disappointed. View from our room was poor.

    The room was very good but the view of the back was not so great There was lots of food but most of it was cold eggs, meat and etc. Pool was GREAT!! the view from there was outstanding , pool not for swimming Staff was pleasant and helpful

    We could hear a lot of noise from our room, didn’t feel like the room was soundproofed at all. Bath was very small and breakfast hours felt limited

    I liked that we could use the facilities even after check out. I liked the view to the acropolis and AC

    The hotel is on the main road between 2 metro stations. Daytime is good and very busy however nighttime feels very unsafe especially around the back on the hotel. We avoided the back of the hotel as we were warned beforehand.

    The hotel was great with a small pool on the rooftop. The opening hours was til midnight for the rooftop which seemed very early for Athens.

    Excellent value (low cost, practical/functional - do not expect a luxury stay)
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Standard Family Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    It is not the ideal location, but we were already taxiing to most activities so we opted for the lower cost versus tourist area convenience. This place was an excellent value - you get what you pay for and I needed a clean functional place to rest and Candia Hotel was perfect for that. I would recommend for anyone just needing a place to rest.

    This place is very modest with a small but functional restroom. Beds were the firmest I've ever felt - some may not like them (it was OK for me). This is not a luxury hotel, but is a great value with cleanliness, functionality, a nice view, friendly and helpful staff for a great price. This was ideal for our family as we were out and about every day and just needed a place to sleep. I read a number of reviews about pest control concerns, but personally did not see any insects in my room, in the common areas, nor on the rooftop area where the pool and bar are located.

    The Pool. I knew it was small... not conducive for lap swimming. But it was packed with young guests that just stood in the water. I wanted to relax, float...especially after walking around a hot Athens...and I do not mind socializing. But seeing a few trying to get some of the young tourists to buy/try drugs from them was awful. I was happy to see one young man walk away after saying no many times. This is also next to a Bar where the employees did not engage or seem to care about the guests. So I did not even bother telling them. There was a moment where I did get what I wanted and it was divine to rest by the pool.

    Reception staff was Amazing and went beyond to ensure I had a good stay. :) My room was clean and comfortable. The view from the roof and pool was a nice surprise. It was in a very 'true greek' neighborhood. No 'touristy' places and I had the best dinner at Tasty Corner and coffee nearby. Watched the Soccer game with the locals.

    The renovated rooms are much better than the standard ones. The shower head was bad and the curtain kept falling down. Closet door very hard to open.

    Friendly staff, happy to help with any questions. Good breakfast variety. Close to public transport. Nice rooftop pool and bar area with good cocktails. Value for money was good for our large group.

    The downside of being close to the train stations is you heard the squeaking of the rails all the time. (Can’t be controlled by the hotel, but if you need quiet, maybe ask to be on the “no view” side. Also, every night from about 10:30pm to 11:30pm, there was a “furniture moving party” that seemed to be happening above us on the 7th floor pool deck area. Not sure what was happening, but again, if you like quiet, ask for a 3rd floor room on the opposite side. But these were small things, the hotel was still good value for what we paid.

    The hotel was clean and staff nice. Breakfast was very good value as it had a lot of hot and cold options. Location was close to two train stations and about a 10-15 minute walk to the main square and shops. The photo attached is the view from our balcony.
