Candia Hotel

The reception lady was a bit abrupt but she can speak English. The bathroom was really small but it was clean and tidy. The bed was firm which I like it but my friend didnt. Nice view at roof top. Food at the restaurant was good. Buffet for 14 euro per person with wide range of selections. Hotel is easy walking distance to train station and a food minimart.

Had to complain regarding room 1st given, due to not been given room originally booked. 1st room view was of the opposite building, yet we booked a city view. Once I had shown reception the paperwork. I. E. Triple room with city view. I was asked if I wanted a city view. I felt like saying no. Why do you think I'm here complaining.

Super nice guy at the front desk and the number of beds were the only redeeming feature. The room smelled (not sure what it was but it was stroooong), the beds were uncomfortable, stoned backpackers sat by the tiny pool, and the whole place felt like it was decaying. It is centrally located but dont be fooled by the photo of the Acropolis - it is a long way away. If you can get it for under 50 euros then you'd be doing fine but at 100 we felt ripped off.

Pics are misleading - the pool is miniscule. Rooms are extremely dated. With that said, the hotel is spotless, staff are friendly, breakfast was good. The location is close to Athens metro (Larissa station) but about 15-20 minutes walking to Psyrri, Monastiraki, and the Plaka. Easy trek to the Acropolis station if you take red line from Larissa.

We were given a room here when our original booking at another hotel got inexplicably cancelled... the check in was very smooth and fast, the staff very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was pretty good. The room itself was kinda shoddy for a hotel listed in the €100-120 per night range; small, old, and the bed pretty uncomfortable. Good location and a nice view of the acropolis from the rooftop pool, however the pool is also kind of old looking.
