Hotel Rio, Athens

Our stay in the Hotel Rio Athens did only left us feeling satisfied. This lovely place is located in the city center of Athens in a quiet pedestrian Odysseos street of "Metaxourghio" close to the metro station and very close to all tourist attractions . The buillding, which is neoclassical in taste, has been restored with all the possible modern amenities. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and the décor, simplistic.The restaurant and bar downstairs, serves lovely greek and Italian food, draught beer and refreshing drinks and cocktails .The breakfast is purely continental to suit everybody's tastes. The staff is welcoming and helpful and also extremely knowledgeable. From the hotel, you can walk to the Acropolis, the new Acropolis Museum, the National Archaiological museum near Omonia square and the Greek Parliament in Syntagma square and the main shopping areas within minutes walk in Hermou street. The night life area PSIRI and GAZI are very close too.
The hotel also conducts tours and trips in and around the city for visitors. We will sure prefer this hotel again for any future stay in Athens!!!
