The exterior of the hotel look inviting; however when we walked through the front door you can feel the heavy curtain around the lobby have not been clean for long time. All the sofa in the lobby are covered with some sort of clothes I guess it is to cover the old and uninviting sight. The check in process was straight forward and friendly.
None of the light on the stairs are working and I had to use the flash light on my phone to light a path up and down the stairs, could be dangerous if you need to evacuate the hotel quickly.
The room door has key card slot but I guess it is broken as I needed a physical key to unlock the room door and a keycard to turn on the electricity, the room size is good and high ceiling. The bathroom has no hook for the handheld shower head so not so convenient to have a shower, the water also not always hot enough.
The air conditioner was blowing warm air even though the dial was set to cold and it made the room so more warmer and uncomfortable to sleep. The hotel reviews seem to suggest this is one of the common issue people has been complaining about for more than 10 years!!!! I ended up open all the windows to cool the room down and this invited traffic noise all night long.
The hotel has been neglected for way too many years and surprisingly still in business????

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.

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.

Horrific experience. Never go to Hotel Rio Athens. The hotel was dirty, the towels had holes, the fridge was disgusting, had mold and smelled horrible, the shower was terrible, and the air conditioner didn’t work. It was summer and the weather was too hot, and when we tried to speak with the staff and explain kindly that it’s not possible to sleep without air conditioning, the manager (or owner) started to scream and shout at us to get out of the hotel, using very bad words. Later we found out that they do it on purpose to kick people out and sell the same rooms again. Other people also complained about it. We had to leave and find another hotel because it was impossible to stay there. I really don’t know how this place is still working. I don’t have even one positive word about it. Worst hotel experience ever.

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.
