It's tough to rate this kind of hotel. It's a true budget hotel-- so much so that I was really afraid to book here. However-- we wanted to be right by the Duomo-- and our two past options were both over $300 a night this time. So we gave it a shot-- and hoped for the best. What a difference... More

In a city that enjoys a reputation for high priced hotels, particularly those located near the city's famed Duomo, the Hotel Rio is a well-kept secret. Located just steps from the Duomo, and near other such attractions as the Sforza Castle and the Galleria, the Hotel Rio is modestly priced and my room was very clean. I have found the... More

Hotel Rio has a great location near the duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuel, the breakfeast was okay, though the staff weren't very friendly! Agree that it is indeed very noisy at night, but can easily be blocked out by covering your head with a pillow! Also, the room was clean, but there was dust on the door handles.

The best thing about this hotel was the proximity to the center of Milan but with that comes lots of noise from the street. This was easily taken care of by closing windows and shutters and using the air conditioner. Unfortunately this makes the room quite dingy and I was concerned about how clean the airconditioner filters were considering the... More

The location is perfect, very near Duomo. The hotel receptionist isn't so friendly. The hotel is old and smelly. The bed makes lots of noise. The breakfast is poor. I wouldn't come back to this hotel again. It's not worth the price.

Very good hotel, with nice and friendly staff. Fantastic location in the very heart of Milan, Duomo is across the square. Rooms are good size, bathroom is warm and huge, very nice and clean. Next time I am in Milan I will stay in this hotel! I recommend it to my friend and family.

The hotel room was of decent size and cleanliness, but the main draw was the fabulous location - just 1 block from the Duomo di Milano and a metro stop. I would stay here again without a second thought.

Milan was our last stop on a road trip from Strasbourg. We're a family of 3 with two other couples and we all had young kids. As we expected parking to be a problem in the city centre, we wanted to stay near all the attractions and subway line. It was not easy deciding on accomodation, there are plenty to... More

I chose this hotel for a one night stop over in Milan purely based on location and price. Considering what we paid, we were expecting the worst and were pleasantly surprised. The rooms were basic but neat and fairly spacious. Bathrooms were clean although a hand held shower only in the bath tub. The AC worked fine and the street... More

The only positive things going for this hotel is it's excellent location. It's just round the corner from the Duomo and the Metro station. Facilities adequate, considering the price one is paying, but the mattress has seen better days. The springs are virtually giving way and I kept falling to one side when trying to sleep. Any request made to... More
