Great location. Nice hotel. Breakfast area was too crowded so we went across the street and paid for breakfast. A tab bit noisy at night. Overall we were happy.

The property is right in the center of Milan a few steps away from the Milan Cathedral. The room might be small but it is clean and functional. The staff are friendly and helpful. They also serve a full breakfast which is wonderful. I highly recommend this place.

Stayed at hotel Rio for couple nights . The location is superb. However the overall hotel itself is run down. The bathroom smelt like mould, every time the shower was used the water would spill out onto the bathroom floor. The air con was running but didn’t do much to cool the room. It is over priced for what you get.
