It was a lovely time & the hotel is really nice!
Our stay at Rio Athens was good. It's a nice basic hotel from wich you can easily explore the city by metro (akropolis in less than 15 min). The staff was friendly & breakfast basic but good. Our room was basic and clean. Some lights did not work properly though and the airconditioning seemed to be too dusty to do his job, but those are our only remarks. We didn't really mind as we were out all day exploring the city. If you're looking for a nice, not too expensive, basic hotel to explore the city of Athens then Rio Athens is a good place to stay!
no AC working and little water bugs in bathroom and occasionaly in bedroom. Near very near metro but far from anything welse. overall not bad at all
The location of the hotel is convenient for sight seeing.
Hotel Rio was nice but i thought a little small for the price. no real complaints though because the street felt safe enough but i still chose to be in before dark since i was traveling alone. the lady working the desk was very helpful a number of times but the other staff really never said much. there was a cute little bar right next door but also construction on the opposite side so be ready for early morning workers. all in all i would stay there again.
A good value for money property.Small room but a good hot shower and great location close to Metro and easy walking distance to Acropolis and Hondos Centre.Staff were very friendly and the "alfresco area" was great for a cold beer and people watching.
