Let cation was excellent! Rose at the front desk is amazing! Very helpful and super nice! Love her. The pool isnt a real “ swimming pool that you can actually swim in! It is there for aesthetics! We booked it because of the pool, so that was a disappointment. The rooms are bare bones, but very clean. The restaurant was OK. A lot of traffic, but you’re in the middle of everything, which we enjoyed.

The staff are very friendly and go the extra mile to make your stay perfect. The hotel is great, everything is concrete on the inside of the rooms with colored designs. Soundproof, clean, sturdy. Location is prime! Walking distance to everything in Centro and the Malecon. Restaurants, shopping, drinking, excursions. The restaurant at the hotel is great. Friendly service, decent prices and the food was great. I had several breakfasts, pizza, pasta, seafood and all was excellent. See you soon Hotel Rio!

This hotel is in a fantastic location. Right at your doorstep is the Romantic Zone, Downtown and the Maleconè is not even a block away. The Rio Cualè river market is also right there. The staff are friendly and helpful. I've stayed at a few other hotels in the RZ around the same price and this one is definitely the cleanest! If you're not planning to spend much time at your hotel, this spot is perfect. If you want a place to lounge with a view maybe not for you. This was my second time staying at the RIO and I would stay again.

Liked: Staff & service
The strangest part about the room we had is that you have to put your room key in a box mounted on the wall for the electricity to work. And, the air conditioner was either on because the key was in or off with the key out, no other option to adjust the air conditioner. We didn't need the air conditioner at night but did not have lights without putting the key in the box. I've never seen a set up like this. The shower did not always have hot water...but did most the time we needed it. It's a basic hotel room, no fridge, microwave etc. Staff are friendly and it's a super easy walk to the Malecon.
