Candia Hotel

I have taken many school groups to Europe over the years, and seen many levels of quality.The Candia is so-so for a budget -class. The location is good with easy access to the subway.Rooms are small, as usual. The general decor of the place is a little shabby and rundown, with a kind of 70's vibe. It could really use updating. Staff is not great. Breakfast is good. Cleanliness is below average. You could probably find a better hotel for the same price, still in a central location.

If you're going for the Olympics and considering this hotel, DON'T! That is, unless you like a hotel with surly and rude staff, lousy breakfast, rooms where either things don't work (air conditioning), or are broken ( the only place to put your bag was on the dresser, and the legs were so wobbly, it looked as if they would collapse at any moment). This hotel had several tour groups in, and the teenagers were noisy, yelling and screaming in the halls, cursing in the stairway. Only one elevator, which would accomodate only 2 people... more
