The Rio Hotel is located few meters from the Bus /taxi stop, in the center of Kardamena. The rooms are spacious, you also have a small but comfy terrace where you can put your swimwear to dry in the sun. Air conditioner is also present so keep your room cool in very warm days. The staff (including the girls at the Pub) were really nice and kind with us, the owner always has a smile in his face. When you check out and maybe need to fly late in the day, if needed they have a room where you can leave your luggages so you can go for a walk or to the beach and come back to take them back and it's also possible to take a shower in another room, very useful! Loved our stay in Kardamena and Rio Hotel!

We ate in the pub most nights, the food was great and the value exceptional. The hosts were brilliant all the way through our holiday from the initial greeting, the hospitality, cooking and booking our taxi back to the airport. The family who run the hotel and pub are lovely, we will definitely be going back. Best shower and bathroom we ever had on a Greek island and rooms cleaned and beds changed every day. Kardamena is such a lovely fun and friendly place and the hotel location is perfect as we wanted the beach, harbour, public pool and bars and restaurants on our doorstep.

The location was excellent. Right in the centre of the town of Kardemena. Go outside the hotel at the front, walk 500mtrs and you are at the harbour, sea and beach. All the shops bars and restaurants are on the doorstep and barely any traffic on harbouring other than tourists choosing which restaurant, or tavern or shop they want to go in. Coming out of the hotel to the right side, is a taxi rank, bus stop, and to the right if them 30mtrs up road is a chemist. Over the main road from taxi rank is a large, modern supermarket with a lovely delicatessen and bakery, again more bars and restaurants. The hotel itself was immaculate. Sheets and towels were changed every three days, but if you needed more, you had only to ask. The owner Vasilias and his wife Stampitha and family run the hotel with friendly precision and nothing was too much trouble. They did a nice menu of snack food, but beware, the snacks were plentiful and delicious. There is a pool table, sky sports, a tv/ reading room and a large bar area through front of hotel to back of hotel.Vasilias gave us a welcome drink, showed us our room 212, showed us the safe and air conditioning and tv, which were all free. There was a kettle, hob, microwave cutlery,pots, pans, glasses enough for three people, two extremely comfortable beds and a sofa bed, table and three chairs. The balcony of our room was roomy with a table and two chairs and was above the entrance of the hotel. We had a lovely view of the taxi rank and shops and fast food shop directly over the road and was perfect for people watchers (my husband). There were plenty of sockets for your appliances though the tv only had greek channels, but we did not use it. There are two sets of WiFi log ins, one for the room and one if you are downstairs in the pub. Would I stay here again. Yes, in a heartbeat. Would I recommend it to my friends? Yes, most certainly.

Nothing I didn't like. The weather was uncomfortable for some as it was well over 30 everyday.

Breakfast was not included but I could get a hearty breakfast downstairs at the pup. The room was very clean. The balcony spaceous. The kettle and the fridge were working. WLAN was very strong and useful. All in all I liked it there.

The location in a high noise area. However when the balcony sliding doors were closed the street noise subsided. The stairs to the room are rather demanding.

Perfect location, lovely big room spotlessly clean, comfy double bed, staff were so friendly especially the owner who would go out of his way to help with anything.

My only qualm was that we had a very late flight leaving the resort at 21.30, we were unable to keep our room on because the hotel was full with new guests, there was a little room to leave our bags and get changed but a shower room would have been perfect.

An excellent simple town hotel. I think facilities, such as showers and AC have had a recent update as they were excellent. Could even put loo paper down the loo! The restraint is also known as The Pup. Has Sky sports but whilst we were there kept sound low.

Nice balcony but small and very overlooked.

FOOD WAS EXCELLENT STAFF WERE EXCELLENT WILL DEFINETELY VISIT AGAIN!e Tvs every where showing all fokind of sports if it is on Vasillios will find it for you. cctv every where(notin rooms FEELS REALLY SAFE

iHAVING TO LEAVE HERE! ANY PROBLEMS DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY i have been to KARDEMENA 30 TIMES AND KNOW WHEREVER I VISIT IN FUTURE IT WILL BE MY FIRST CHOICE

Brilliant location, very friendly staff, comfiest beds I have slept in for a long while! Room was very quite even though you are near the main taxi rank, less than a minute and you are in the main square at the harbour, 5 minute walk to the beach. Pub underneath the rooms has decent size tv's for sport and serve good drinks and food, breakfast was very nice.

Nothing

Lovely hotel, run by a lovely family who can not do enough for you. Fantastic location, clean, comfortable, and friendly staff. With the pub next door for a great breakfast, snacks and meals, or just a drink. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

Nothing

Great central location, owners couldnt have done more to look after us, make us feel welcome and have a great holiday

Loved everything. A bin in the main room would have been good but didnt affect the stay
