Room and bed was clean but it’s clearly an old hotel without much being spent in terms of refurbishment. Location is really great though, right in the centre. Breakfast was ok but it really was like eating in a shoe box as you are squeezed like cattle into a tiny room. I found it funny as it was really quiet bizarre. Think of a bedroom with 6 or 7 small tables and chairs! Clearly they have very limited space so they did what the could. Staff were nice enough. The lady on reception was professional but seemed generally grumpy and definitely does not offer a warm welcome which is a shame. I wouldn’t discourage someone from staying, but there are better alternatives and I’d definitely save money on paying for breakfast and eat in one of the many cafes that are in abundance nearby.

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.

The rooms are so small you feel like you're in a cage. I felt claustrophobic and had to change my hotel. They told me to request a refund through expedia since I booked the hotel through expedia. And when I did just that, they refused to refund my money. The expedia agent was on the phone with them for less than a minute. Not only they didn't refund my money, they also wasted my time to go through expedia. They could've said from the beginning that they're not going to refund. Hotels are normally very small in Europe but this one was in another level. I highly recommend staying somewhere else. This hotel is not worth it. Don't fall for the prices and the pictures of the rooms.

Great location by Duomo

Very good breakfast. Good choices . The hotel has a great location. I would advise though to get a room aesy from the street side as it gets quite noisy. Staff was great and moved me when i asked for a quieter location.

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.

Hot time in Milan

When checking in, I got no explanation about anything. For my entire 4 day stay, the A/C did not work when the temperatures were in the mid 80s. They were able to do nothing about it. I was not able to change rooms or even get a fan to help. They did give me a discount, but only after I asked for it. The location was very convenient. All but one of the staff were friendly.
