More like a hostel than a hotel. Beds weren't made and the room was a bit gross, but really seems like most of the hotels in Athens aren't that great for the budget. You get what you pay for and its not awful. Suggest this place for people who don't care for luxury, and just want a place to rest... More

If you like cockroaches and aunts crawling all over your stuff and you when your sleeping then this is ur place. Personally the only time i expect this type of accomodation is when i am camping and even at that i have never stayed in those conditions. The man at the front was moody and chain smoked. They never answered... More

I don't even know where to start ... This hotel is so horrible that I am writing this review while I'm still in Athens. I have no idea how this hotel is a 3 star. It really should be a negative star. It was such a horrible experience that we had to leave after 2 nights: the disgusting old men,... More

Accessible and convenient location that is 5 minutes away from the metro station but unsafe neighborhood. Rooms are uncleaned when arrived. There were papers left in the drawer from the last user. Packing of soap was opened. Broken equipment in bathroom. Decent breakfast was served from 8-10am, but wasn't sure how long the breakfast tray has been prepared. Wrong information... More

Trip advisor very rarely steers me wrong, but I would frankly rather stay in a hostel than this place. My friends and I have been traveling around Europe of our study abroad experience, so our standards really aren't that high. The minimum standard I expect from a hotel (especially) is cleanliness, which is where this place really fell short. Our... More

Wonderful location in the heart of Athens. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by their friendly staff. The service was excellent; the facilities of the room were great. The rooms were nicely decorated, comfortable and very clean. The rooms as well as the hotel were well-designed and well-appointed. But we found large black ants in my bathroom. So... More

Grumpy smelly old man at the front desk was very unhelpful. The hotel was recommended as gay friendly but it was hardly friendly. Location was great though. More

Rented a family room for 4 nights Aug 2011. Accommodations were fine nothing fancy but functional. Had a room on top (3rd) floor. Air Conditioning was marginal first night, got back late on second day and was not working, staff moved us to a room that they said was working. Moved into room, assured that it was working just would... More

Great location near a metro, walking distance to restaurants etc. Nice clean rooms, with up to four beds. Very helpful and kindly staff! Only minus was the breakfast, very simple We would recommend the hotel to buy a toaster to improve......But still would highly recommend this hotel!. More

Overall, our stay at Rio Athens was satisfactory. Followed others' reviews to select Rio Athens and was thoroughly pleased with the results. The hotel it’s 2 minutes walk from the metro station “Metaxourghio”, for easy travelling. The best part about the service were the staff who helped to plan my sightseeing route and who highlighted items on my map, gave... More
