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.

Our recently renovated room was excellent. Housekeeping was great. Loved the rooftop dipping pool, bar and lounge. 360 degree views of Athen including the acropolis! Cute little balcony. Great breakfast…and all very affordable and good value for the money. The location was somewhat sketchy…graffiti everywhere, garbage in the streets, but we stuck to the main streets and didn’t go out after dark.

The sink was clogged they should fixed it first before allowing guests to occupy. The moment we enter the room I saw the floor was dirty. We don’t have anymore chance to complain and move to other room because we are leaving early morning.

Rooftop pool and bar was comfortable and gave great views of the Acropolis, especially at night when it was lit up. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. We arrived before check in time and provided luggage storage to allow us to explore the area around the hotel. Great buffet breakfast provided each morning.

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.
