Hotel Rio is no frills but terrific! The location is perfect, super close to Duomo and other tourist spots, restaurants, shopping, and public transportation. The staff was very kind and helpful. I wasn’t able to sit for breakfast but was offered to take food with me, even before 7:30 am. The hotel was very clean and I always felt safe. The bed and pillow were comfortable. The shower water temperature was perfectly warm.

I like this hotel, convenient and close to shopping, great restaurants and main events. The only Thing is…our room is right next to the street so we could hear cars, busses, people yelling until 3am. Can’t really get a good night sleep.

Liked: Staff & service
The location is fantastic-steps from the Duomo and metro. The breakfast was good but the seating area is quite cramped. Hotel staff are very nice but the rooms were uncomfortably small and the closest doors touched the bed so impossible to move. The water temperature changed constantly in the shower and the shower head kept dropping. I tripped over the step up into the bathroom when first arriving. Overall, we did not enjoy our stay.
