The Hotel Rio was perfect for our needs. We are all avid walkers so didn't mind the 30min hike to the center of Athens. You can take the metro as well as it is just around the corner from the hotel. The hotel staff made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Especially Marco and Litza who were there for our every need. Day trips can be booked through the hotel also. The hotel is older and the rooms a bit small but we managed. Ask for the hair dryer at the front desk. There are lots of great little restaurants in the area. We felt safe walking in the area even at night. We would all recommend the Hotel Rio.

Helpfull staff - they also printed out my electroonic flight ticket. Breakfast OK. Hotel in good condition (compared to the rest of Athens). Rather loud environment. Could hear traffic noise even at my room at the backside of the hotel. They charged 30EUR from my credit card after booking the hotel. In 7 days two times there was no room cleaning.

The hotel lobby was pretty and the outside was idealistic. The manager was a bit coarse and did not have a professional manner, however he was helpful. Our room was dirty and the bathroom had a hole in the ceiling. I also believe that the hotel has some sort of plumbing issue as our room was dank and a bit smelly. I wish they would have put more money into the rooms and less into the facade of the building.

Proximité du métro Aucun effort fait pour agrémenter cet hôtel malgré les possibilités. Le hall d'entré est triste sans aucune sorte de décoration, mobilier vieillot, et rien n'est fait pour donner l'envie de rester là. Les chambres,(petites), sont meublées dans un style récupération plus que celui d'un hôtel d'aujourd'hui ( tabouret en plastique blanc fatigué pour poser les affaires dans la douche par exemple). Bruit des voitures suivant les chambres assez prononcé. Si vous y allez, visitez les toilettes de la réception, munis de portes kz en plastique et pour améliorer le tout, elles ne ferment pas !

A gentileza do atendimento, esquecemos roupas num dos roupeiros e ao retornarmos na passagem de volta eles haviam guardado tudo a nossa espera. O local é muito bom junto a uma estação de metrô e parada bus turistico. O nosso ap. Era bem espaçoso, dois quartos de casal completos para um casal apenas. Não chegamos a desgostar, mas o conforto poderia ser melhorado, em especial as camas e colchões.

La localisation de l'hôtel à deux pas d'une station de métro reliant le centre d'Athènes, quartier assez bien fréquenté Petit déjeuner continental à revoir : pas de croissant, pain de mie sec et dur, jus d'orange qui n'en a que le nom

Letti piccoli in particolare il matrimoniale che era una piazza e mezza. Una stanzona tipo camerata. La zona dove è collocato è sqallida cosi come la vista dalla finestra (una sola). La colazione è deprimente.appena arrivi vogliono subito I soldi perche credo se vedi la stanza poi non vuoi starci...per andare all acropoli 2 fermate di metro e per andare a plaka devi cambiare a omonia. Rapporto prezzo qualita non adeguato, il peggior hotel del giro in grecia che abbiamo fatto

Le calme de la chambre, la terrasse sur la rue très agréable, la rue est une impasse pour les voitures. Un accueil très correcte, métro à proximité, Une bonne base pour une petite famille restant quelques jours à Athènes.

Proximidade do metro, limpeza, atendimento simp'atico da maioria dos funcionarios. Todos informavam que a localizacao era perigosa para voltar a noite, nao tivemos nenhum problema real, apenas pedintes, mas o clima de tensao foi desagradavel. Fora isso, nada a fazer ou visitar a pe no entorno, so pegando metro. Melhor ficar hospedado na acropole que tem vida noturna, passeios e mais seguranca para voltar para o quarto. Sao 4 euros por dia o passe livre do metro, se o $$$$ compensar, ate vale a pena, senao, va para acropole ou proximidades. O metro e otimo e confiavel.

miła obsługa, dobra znajomość angielskiego, dobra lokalizacja 15 minut spaceru do antycznej części Aten Zaniedbana łazienka wymaga remontu lub porządnego wysprzątania- czarna pleśń między kafelkami. Śniadanie mało urozmaicone bez ciepłego dania. Herbata ciepła a powinna być gorąca

It is close to Karaiskaki square. The person at the reception was very friendly and fairly helpful. The rooms are a bit dark and not very welcoming. Seems like they have been built for whole families ( in our "double" there were beds for 5). We stayed for a night and it was perfectly fine but I would not recommend it for longer than 3 nights.

It is situated at a very quiet area even though it is very near to the Metaxourgeio Metro Station (3min walk). The plumbing was quite old and needed repair. We would highly recomment a renovation of the hotel in general.

The younger staff at Rio Athens were very friendly and helpful, making effort to help us print, fax and copy documents without any charge. Nothing is too much for them. There was no soap in the bathroom, and the toilet stopped flushingon our second night. Also, there were no cups or kettle for drinking and boiling water.
