Best Western Candia Hotel

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.

The hotel is good, breakfast is one of the best we had in Greece. It is located about 15 min from Acropolis and taxi is about EUR$6 there. Pool view is good. Only issue was that AC was not that cold.

Nothing horrible. Nothing spectacular. If you have stayed in a Best Western before, you should expect roughly the same experience. Don’t eat in the resteraunt. Boring Western faire and not terribly tasty. Take a left out of the hotel and walk approximately 5-10 minutes for multiple resteraunts. **Very far from airport in case you are using this for a quick stopover.
