Candia Hotel is an awesome place to stay in to visit Athens. It's away from Platka and the bustling city (though reachable by metro within a couple of stops) which offers it the quiet in the neighbourhood where you can see how the Greeks live in. There's also a Greek Orthodox Church nearby and I had the opportunity to see... More

Managing school trips with 100 teenagers, we went to this hotel where we had made a booking, 3 weeks before our check-in the hotel couldn't give us a list of the rooms, the receptionist was so rude and unprofessional that we decided to cancel our reservation, we have the impression that this hotel is not to be recommended for school...

Really impressed with the staff - they were helpful and hospitable. The food was very good - great buffet in evening and a good variety for all even those with special diets. Breakfast was excellent with a fantastic range, constantly topped up. Rooms were clean, spacious and generally comfortable. Took a school group and it worked well for us as... More

After reading other reviews about this hotel, then I would have to say that this price bracket has downsides anywhere - not a good area, old and tired, everything that reviewers have noted. But on the positive side, apart from good value for money, it is clean, safe (main trade seems to be school and group bookings) and the staff... More

This is a great hotel with staff that know how to take care of American visitors. My family was very fussy with food and American tradition. This hotel caters to my needs. Location was ok with very little to see outside of hotel and food prices were high for lunch and dinner.

The first time I was on the forth floor and the room was so small. It was near the street so it was noisy that night and the television was broken. But the last few night I was on the sixth floor and we had a big balcony! Everything was better than before.

Just back from 6 days in Athens. Needed cheap, clean and cheerful motel with no fuss and got the Candia. Everything perfect! Service from the three main guys on the desk was immense...nothing too much trouble. Rooms were 'lived in', but always spotless. Breakfast a tad disappointing, but for €25 pppd I'd have settled for coffee and toast every morning,... More

I have just stayed at the Candia Hotel in Athens and the staff were fantastic! They made sure we had everything we needed. I can't recommend them enough! I have read the other read the other reviews and yes the hotel is a little bit tired around the edges but you get what you pay for! I have been to... More

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in March 2013. When we arrived I was a bit skeptical but the hotel itself was clean and everything worked as expected. The hotel staff were very friendly, even the waitress treated our table to a carafe of wine when we showed up just before the buffet closed and they were ready to... More
