Candia Hotel was super comfy and we felt right at home there! We loved the giant balcony and the rooftop pool with view of the acropolis. We saw every single sunset up there, sitting by the pool, looking out over the rooftops of Athens. It was stunning! You are only minutes from the subway and everything is within reach. I wish we could have stayed longer. We can definitely recommend this place! If we ever come back to Athens, we would definitely stay there again. 5-star rating!!

Great hotel, amazing rooftop pool with an amazing views. The buffet breakfast was perfect, lots of choice and very tasty, likewise the pool bar. Room was clean and serviced daily. The area isn't great but location is good, being very close to to the tube, a cheap taxi into town or a short walk to the start of the hop on hop off bus. We didn't have any concerns walking around the area.
