Hotel Rio Athens Reviews

No air-condition No good service not have respect

I think we were the only guests in the hotel. It looks like a bankrupt hotel as soon as you enter: sofas covered with blankets, closed dining room, the room we were given was not bad, but at first the air conditioning was low and we were hot, then it got a bit better. Badly managed hotel, totally lackluster. The mattress cover on the extra bed was dirty. Anyway...

The owners or managers of the Hotel treat you very badly, the room we had was horrible, we asked to change and very reluctantly the lady answered NO. The breakfast was horrible, the employees, I have nothing to say. The location is fine. We stayed from 11 to 17/6/24, room 521, 2nd floor. Silvia and Iosi from Israel. I advise you not to step foot in this hotel, there are so many that could be better. DON'T GONNNNNN. I have never been treated so badly in a hotel as in this one. AWFUL. Iosi of Israel.

The location of the hotel is okay! Breakfast is ordinary and simple!

The environment is good, the service is half, but cost-effective, acceptable

This is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. The location of the hotel is at the junction of *** and ***. I applied to deduct the five-day room fee to refund the rest, but the store refused. The money collected will not be refunded. The hotel The internal facilities are old, the central air conditioner has a peculiar smell and there is dust everywhere. A family of three runs the hotel. There is no service at all. The breakfast is 8 euros and there is a bakery 500 meters away. It is cheaper than the hotel's breakfast. You need to leave the room key at the front desk , very unsafe, I once witnessed a robbery just two streets away, thin needles can be seen around the hotel, I talked to a Chinese, the store blocked me downstairs, the store could not understand Chinese and said I told other people bad things about the hotel, and threatened me that you have already paid the money and you will throw me and my luggage out of the hotel, and I am forbidden to talk to other people, and I am not allowed to stay in my room. I am here to travel, right? Those who came to jail directly gave up the remaining 14 nights. Friends should be more careful when going out. Don't book this hotel, for your own safety.

This is an old hotel that has not been renovated much. I was in Athens a month ago, but because I am involved in the extension of my stay, they suddenly informed me that I have to come back, so I chose the hotel because it was cheaper. It is acceptable if you are not too strict. It is relatively clean, now the bedding and blanket have a little stain! The ventilation does not work well, but since the weather was pleasant, it did not matter. The closet door was broken and would not close. The safety box was not working properly. The toilet siphon was constantly working and the water was wasted and the sound was annoying. The refrigerator was working properly. Cannery did not have electricity, it had a small balcony with a good view. Breakfast was supposed to be a buffet, but it wasn't. It had a fixed menu but it was acceptable. The reception desk was a fixed desk with a fixed middle aged lady. The doors were opened with a key and a card for electricity. When leaving the hotel, we had to hand it over to the reception. Because they said that customers lose the key. The location of the hotel is excellent. Around the hotel, there are many cafes and restaurants with reasonable prices, one to three minutes away. The lady who is in charge of the reception is a polite middle-aged lady, in any case, it is acceptable in this Hajj.

Terrible experience!!!!!!it was a nightmare to stay to this hotel.The owner was aggressive and he told every time bad words.not a clean hotel.VERY DANGEROUS AREA WITH ***** OUTSIDE AND **********. I CANT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL FOR SURE.TOTALLY DISGUSTING

My stay @ the Rio was very unpleasant. My room had roaches. I called maintenance they came and sprayed twice. I didn't get any rest they found another room for me when it was my last night to stay. I'm so disappointed with the red whole stay. Don't go the Rio 3700 Flamingo Las Vegas, they have a pest problem. I understand it's dry heat and hot weather is but they make to much money not to be able to spray and get rid of bugs.

Stay Away ! Rio is a very very bad hotel. We stayed 4 weeks. It says 3 star but is actually 1 star. I almost made a report to the Athens Tourist Police it was that bad.  The hotel and service and staff are unfit for a hotel in Europe. Serious Problems- Angry old man owns the hotel with wife and child. He inherited hotel.  Flees in our bathroom on 1st day. The man yelled at us for complaining to him. It felt he was going to hit us. No double bed which we paid for Instead they tied 2 single beds with a gap down the middle. Sheets not cleaned unless asked Front doors of hotel locked each morning and night must ask permission to unlock to leave the hotel before 7am. Curtains in hallways closed permanently including in foyer. Very dark. Covers on couches in the foyer you cant remove them you must sit on covers instead.  Scolded if you move any curtains. Paid for breakfast-terrible. Cold boiled eggs. Coffee cups not clean- we washed these each day ourselves before use. Electricity not on all the time. Hot water in bathroom for shower not on before 7am or after 7pm. We asked each day to turn on hot water which takes 10 minutes to heat.

We arrived really early into the airport (6am) and our air bnb wasn’t ready til 3pm. We hadnt slept on the flight and were so tired. We booked a room here for 60€ and slept for 5 hours. It was clean and the lady was helpful.

they didnt change sheets(5 nights) a/c does not work, only noise breakfast uneatable.very poor and uninviting supply of hot water very problematic had to ask for toilet paper unbearable noise when you open a door tothe balcony(you have to,because a.c. doesnt work.

No air conditioning with 93 degree weather and 80 at night. No wifi in room , refrigerator did not work in room and airport transfer for 35eur was 57?eur. Staff stated no air conditioning due war in Ukraine???? Terrible service and having difficulty getting partial refund from Agoda due to the lies of the hotel Rio on website

Wi-fi and air conditioning weren't working, at €54 a night. I was given a wi-fi password, and connected to the router, but zero internet. The room was old, with battered furniture. There was a refrigerator/ mini bar, but it was not plugged in. It was 30°C, so I had to sleep with the windows open to a small internal patio. I was awakened at 5:25 a.m. by people having a loud conversation in the patio. The bathroom sink was clogged, but it was too dark to shave anyway. The shower curtain was too short, so taking a shower flooded the entire bathroom floor. The room lights were too dim to read. Candles would have been brighter. Breakfast was white bread, processed cheese slices and mystery meat. I saw the woman who checked me in the previous night and asked where the coffee was (no machine). She answered, "Are you a guest here?" I went to a café down the street instead. I would not recommend this place, even if you are desperate. I've spent more comfortable nights in backpacker hostels, or even airport terminals.
