Only if you're really on the Cheap

I was quite disappointed by this hotel. I stayed in another near Syntagma Square for the same rate which was 10 times better. Small, dingy room with a tile floor. No windows. A microscopic bathroom. No desk chair and the fridge didn't work. They replaced the fridge with another that didn't work. Not the best part of town, but very convenient for the subway. If you've no other options, this would work, but I found it utterly depressing.
ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!

This hotel is in very poor shape. The rooms are not maintained and the door to the second room we were moved to would not stay locked. Do not book this hotel, there are many other good hotels in the immediate area which were in much better shape. We had to cancel our stay and were able to find a room in another hotel just down the street.
Wonderful stay!

We stayed at the Hotel Rio for five nights .The location is perfect. You are 5 to 10 minutes walking from everything. The location of the hotel was ideal for exploring Athens and was close to all major sites of interest. Near many shops and restaurants. The staff is warm and friendly. Nice breakfast room. If you are considering staying in Athens, this is the place to stay.
Will look forward to staying there again and again!

Good Points: Great location, very quiet and delightful hotel, delicious breakfast, clean rooms, multilingual stuff, friendly service, excellent cafe and restaurant with greek and italian dishes, Travel Agency with tickets to the greek islands and worldwide. Car parking.
General comments: The Hotel Rio Athens is a delightful hotel, well situated for a jaunt to the old town Plaka or the Acropolis (metro station METAXOURGHIO). The indoor/outdoor cafe - restaurant is excellent and the included buffet breakfast is delicious. Service is fast cheerful and friendly and all of the desk personnel while we were there spoke English, Italian, French, German and Spanish very well. Will look forward to staying there again and again.
