We stayed at the Candia Hotel for 15 nights in late April / early May 2009, and were quite pleased with both the hotel and the location. There were restaurants, a small super market, a laundromat, several mini-marts, and a few pastry shops in the neighborhood. The staff was friendly and helpful; the buffet breakfast was adequate, if not exciting;... more

I just returned from beautiful athens. I was on a school trip, over our spring break. We were traveling with Explorica, and we had 40 members (give or take a few) from our school alone. I would just like to first start off by saying, thank you for putting up with us all. the staff of the hotel was very... more

The hotel is clean . Their staff is not that friendly to me. When I asked information on directions to go to places, they seemed uninterested in answering my questions. I do not like its location. It is close to the central railway station, but kind of far from the center of the city. The price is reasonable though. Unfortunately,... more

The Candia Hotel is the best budget hotel I ever stayed in & does not deserve the poor feed back cited by other people on Tripadvisor! The room & ensuite bathroom was very clean & pleasant & was freshened up every day. I enjoyed a breakfast of Greek yougurt, honey, fresh sesame seed roll & as much(good) coffee as I... more

I stayed here April 5, 6, 7 2008 and would never do it again. The hotel is very shabby and needs an update terribly (or a total demolition may be preferred). The website touted it as a very nice resort with wonderful views of the Acropolis, with large clean rooms and an excellent restaurant. When I arrived I knew immediately... more

We stayed at the Hotel Candia for a recent trip to Athens. It was the "budget" offering that the travel agent gave us, and really was everything we needed. It was a place to sleep, the room was cleaned every day, and it was right down the street from the Metro station. We weren't going in expecting a 5 star... more

The hotel is a bit tattered and torn, but the front desk was execptionally helpful. A plus was the free internet access. The biggest problem for us was the amount of smoking in the entire hotel, which actually made sleeping hard. (Okay , there was an excessive amount of smoking in the country!) All in all, if you want a... more

Took a group of A Level Students to Athens and we stayed here. Perfect for the tube. Staff really friendly. Some nights it was very noisy - Not only because of kids staying but their teachers in the corridors talking loudly for hours. Food was always with chips. Not good for the veggies amongst us - rice and chips one... more

I can not accept the comments fromt he other people there. I was sleeping there for 3 times and it was ok and everything working. Stuff was friendly, rooms small but clean - some rooms have fantastic view to Acropolis. Breakfast was good and different kinds of dishes. And the hotel is close to Larissa Station, which makes it perfect... more
