Stayed here in December 2008 with my two friends. Delightful, extremely polite service, well worth the money, convenient shopping area and near metro station.
Location is close to the archaeological sites. A wonderful hotel with great amenities. It was very clean and service was great.
Hotel bar/ restaurant are wonderful. Hotel employers are all very helpful.

We stayed at the Rio Athens for 4 nights in late Sept. 2006.
We wanted a small, family-owned hotel, clean, and convenient to historic sites and public transportation. We got exactly what we were looking for and were delighted with the room and service. The neighborhood is downtown and we felt we belonged to a neighborhood by the time we left. We knew our way around the area, had a favorite neighbourhood café, and were comfortable using the inexpensive and conveniently located Metro. The cook at our café looked for us every evening. We quickly learned where to buy bottled water, fresh pastries, and beer. The hotel staff was English speaking, friendly, and helpful with suggestions and directions.
The hotel was exactly as pictured. Our room was on the 3rd floor. It was very adequate and was cleaned thoroughly each day. Rooms in Europe are smaller but we had everything we needed. There was even a small fridge that was so handy to keep drinks cool. The bathroom was small and immaculate. The furniture was basic but certainly adequate for our needs. The ceilings were high and we had lovely shutters on the windows. The air conditioning worked. The breakfast was more than we expected with cold cereals, hard boiled eggs, fruits, meats, and cheeses along with buns, breads, and croissants. We enjoyed taking our breakfast out to the tree lined patio every morning.
We could have booked a familiar, hermetically sealed room that would look exactly like the one in our hometown. We could have chosen to eat exactly the same food as is offered in any North American city. Some people prefer the safety and familiarity of home. We have no quarrel with this preference. It was not what we wanted in Athens.
We feel that we got excellent value for less than $100 a night. The Rio Athens is a charming local hotel in a great city and in a wonderful country.

I recommend this great hotel for everybody. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Especially the hotel staff, they were WONDERFUL and so helpful. It's located in the citycenter (metro station Metaxourghio), easy access to Acropolis, Plaka, the National Museum, the fleat market, Psiri/ the night life area etc...
The rooms were neat and clean. The breakfast was buffet and we sat outside and ate on the pedestrian, surrounded by plants and trees. I really recommend this hotel and will go back again.
