Kathleen from United Kingdom (9/10)
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.Bedford from United Kingdom (9/10)
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.
Clizia from Italy (9/10)
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!
