The Rio Hotel in Kardamena is beautiful and centrally located. The family who runs it is incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with great tips for restaurants, trips, and beaches. I even forgot my car key at the hotel, and they kindly offered to send it to me by post – amazing service! Highly recommended, and I’d love to come back. 😊🤗

Non potevamo fare scelta migliore... posizione centralissima, sulla via principale della graziosa Kardamena Camera molto pulita, ben tenuta ed aria condizionata perfettamente funzionante Personale gentilissimo: l' ultimo giorno avevamo il volo al pomeriggio, e la proprietaria ci ha offerto la possibilità di depositare gratuitamente i bagagli e di farci la doccia dopo il mare Consigliatissimo!

A great option in Kos

Quiet large studio with everything you need, comfortable bed. Despite of being very central in Kardamena, it is not noisy. Bus stop is 50 m away and many places to have food around. Some parking spaces are also available. Nice owners. Kardamena is ideal to visit the island and one of the best place to stay in Kos. Highly recommended.

Kardamena Isola di Kos

Albergo ben situato, accanto alla strada principale , a ridosso del centro, sopra il pub.la mattina presto un po' rumoroso in quanto c e parcheggio taxi, ed i ragazzi ubriachi fanno casino; basta chiudere finestre ed accendere aria condizionata. Tutto sommato buon albergo. Le pulizie potrebbe essere meno superficiali, ma nel complesso ottima scelta

Consigliato!!

Siamo arrivati la notte verso le 2 del mattino e ci hanno aspettato ed accolto senza problemi. Il monolocale era molto grande e pulito, il personale cortese e disponibile ad ogni evenienza. Il pub dell'hotel è il posto giusto dove passare una bella serata giocando a biliardo o freccette bevendo un buon drink. Nel complesso l'hotel ha una qualità/prezzo impareggiabile!!! Super!! Consigliato!

Great hotel

Very simple, large room, recently refurbished. Clean, tidy, air con, balcony, fridge, safe, TV was a little small with limited channels, all staff were friendly, great location, not too noisy even though it's right in the centre of town. Maybe an extra couple of pillows would've been nice. Other than that it was perfect for what I wanted and being a regular visitor to Kos I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Fantastic

Awesome hotel, close to everything, the beach, the supermarket, restaurants and take aways, ATMs. Great service by all the staff. A big thank you to Apostli and Poppy who always looked after us for breakfast, lunch, drinks , midnight snacks. The owners made us feel part of the family, very welcoming at times our kids even played together. The hotel itself is very modern, always clean and our room was very spacious , comfortable beds, nice bathroom and it had tea and coffee making facilities ,(the only hotel I ve been to on the Greek islands that had tea n coffee facilities ) Thank you very much Rio Hotel.

A place to remember

I have no words to say enough thanks to the lovely hotel's owner mr. Vasilis for upgrading our room.for the entire stay (10 days) We loved the views, the neighbourhood, the staff (not many, but efficient ) This place is literally in the middle of everything, from nice dinning spots to souvenir shops and just across there is a CARREFOUR. The beach is 2 minutes walk away from this perfect spot -RIO HOTEL. If somehow we will return to KOS i am sure that RIO HOTEL IS OUR NO.1 CHOICE. Alexandra& Gabriel (room #201)

Rent & fräsch mellanklass boende... thats it!

Vi nyttjade detta hotell som ligger relativt nära flygplatsen enbart för en natts boende. Vi landade mitt I natten och då låg det bra till. Det fanns ingen dygnet runt bemanning så vi fick ringa hotellet, men det var helt Ok. Väldigt bra servicekänsla hos personalen. Vet dock inte riktigt hur jag skall resonera annars kring hotellet!?! Om man inte har några stora krav utan endast söker ett enkelt boende med bra renlighet etc. är detta ett gott alternativ. Vi susade vidare sedan och bodde på ett resort utanför Kos Stad

un piacevole soggiorno

Posto incantevole e tranquillo.. La super cordialità della albergatore e della sua famiglia non ha eguali... È un posto dove sentirsi a casa... Noi abbiamo alloggiato per 11 notti, e abbiamo notato con piacere che oltre ad essere un albergo di nuova struttura arredato con mobili moderni e buoni confort, è stato uno degli alberghi più puliti e ordinati dove io abbia mai avuto modo di alloggiare.. Fantastico è soprattutto il pub all interno del locale.. Molto stile inglese.. Si mangia bene.. Ben assortito con ampia scelta di birre e liquori.. Posto fantastico sia per coppie che per famiglie con figli piccoli... Posizionato all'ingresso del corso principale di kardamena permette di raggiungere il centro della città, luogo ricco di ristoranti e localini, fantastico anche perché dista 2 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia e 10 minuti dalla aeroporto in auto.. Consiglio vivamente a tutti tale albergo.

Buon rapporto qualità prezzo -centro a Kardamena

Hotel comodo - in centro a Kardamena a pochi passi da tutto : supermarket, bar e ristoranti, situato sopra un pub molto carino. Camera affacciata sulla via principale ma nonostante tutto silenziosa una volta chiusa la finestra. Studio per 2 persone molto spazioso con angolo cottura con fornetto elettrico, un po' lento nel riscaldare, lo abbiamo utilizzato solo una volta per prova, ma abbiamo sempre preferito cenare fuori. Camera pulita, l'unica pecca è che non venivano cambiati tutti i giorni gli asciugamani. Aria condizionata funzionante e bel balcone con tavolo e sedie e stendino per panni bagnati. Cassetta di sicurezza a disposizione in camera. Asciugacapelli in bagno. Personale disponibile e gentile. Consiglio vivamente il soggiorno presso questo hotel buon rapporto qualità prezzo!!!!
