Great and Convenient located Hotel !!!
Rio Athens Hotel is a great 3 star hotel option for travellers who prefer to stay in the centre of town and close enough to enjoy the essentials of Athens, Acropolis, Plaka, all the Museums and of course nightlife for a single guy like me. The hotel is located right next to the ‘’Metaxourghio’’ metro station that makes my moving to center more easier. Rio Athens itself seems relatively new and clean. The staff is friendly, helpful and the breakfast is excellent! I would definitely return to this hotel! A very affordable and convenient stay in the heart of Athens! I totally recommended!

Hotel Rio, Athens.
Pluses: Very friendly ambience, helpful staff, English OK. Minuses: Internet was free, but very unreliable. Maybe not the hotel's fault? Location OK, but nowhere decent nearby to eat in the evenings. The bathroom/shower was not up to scratch. Repeat/Recommend? Not likely but had no significant issues. You get what you pay for I suppose.

Helpful reviews, Excellent Hotel !!!
Reviews from specific site were very helpful in choosing this hotel. The Hotel Rio Athens is a great hotel with a friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are clean though basic. Location is excellent. Karaiskaki square is the area to stay, ( metro station Metaxourghio), because all the Archaelogical sights of interest are within walking distance, Acropolis, National Museum incudes the nightlife of the city Psiri and Gazi areas. Nice breakfast dining room. Staff was very helpful with information concerning travel agencies, directions, taxis, etc. Will stay there again as price right and room comfortable.

Hotel Rio Athens, is a great hotel located in the city centre of Athens, within walking distance to all archeological sites of interests and next to the metro station ’’ Metaxourghio’’ . In the hotel we stayed from 2nd to 5th of November 2012 with another couple from Chicago . We all enjoyed our stay and had good time day and night. The rooms were very clean, spacious with care and character .The breakfast was very nice and the service was excellent .Always with a nice smile on their face , ready to help you on each way.Excellent value for money, we will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Greece!!

A little outdated
The hotel was in a great location, because it was literally visible as we walked out of the metro station. We loved the location. Although it was notnear the city center (or we havent discovered what was nearby), the hotel was on the same metro line as Acropolis and within maybe 3 or 4 stops. We loved the accessibility of it. When it comes to the hotel itself, however, it looked great on the outside, but was fairly run down on the inside. The elevtar was oldschool, the chip card key didnt work, so we were given just a normal key, the AC did not work, and the shower water drained very slowly, so that it started overflowing in the middle of the shower. As for a place to stay though it was clean and oferred free breakfast and, most importantly, it is so close to the metro, you cant do much better than this.

Excellent Hotel!!
The Hotel Rio Athens was very clean and in an excellent location. It was literally only a few minutes walk from the metro station ‘’Metaxourghio’’ and we get there very easy. Also quick and cheap access to all the major attractions Acropolis, Plaka, Museums etc. The room was clean, quiet and nicely decorated. The breakfast was excellent with a good choices. The best thing about the hotel was the staff who were all absolutely charming and very helpful. They was equally helpful in finding us the best deal for a sightseeing bus tour of the city. If we were in Athens again we would certainly be happy to use this hotel Rio again!!

The Traveling Family
Budget Conscious Choice
A comfortable hotel with a convenient location to the red-line metro; not luxury or fancy, but it is clean and safe enough. The photos seemed to match the room in appearance. Street noise is a little loud, but did not keep us awake. We picked it based on price and it was agreeable (but we have lived and travelled in Africa). A solid pick for the budget minded but do not expect the small extras normally found at a more expensive hotel. We would feel comfortable staying here again.

We ate twice at Alexander the Great, a small restaurant within a short walk. Good salads and local dishes, the staff is very friendly, and service is good.

“Excellent choice in the heart of Athens”
We stayed at Rio Hotel Athens for three nights at the end of an island hopping holiday back in September. We had caught the night ferry into town and found the hotel really easy to find wioth it's central location close to the metro station "Metaxourghio". The hotel staff we're very helpful and accommodating with our early check-in and directions on how to get around the city and the best events happening during our short stay. The rooms were of a very good standard and were great value for money. The restaurant out in yard really is great and we spent the early evening there on both nights were we had delicius Greek dishes. We really enjoyed our stay at the Rio Hotel Athens and would certainly recommend it to any of our friends planning a trip to Athens. The central location is perfect for any visitor but especially those only staying for a short time with close proximity to the Acropolis area and other sites of Athens.
