Nice smaller family run hotel. Excellent location in the town and also close to both bus and train stations. Staff very helpful and friendly, rooms comfortable (and not too hot and stuffy at night) Breakfast maybe slightly limited, but thats being picky.
The room was absolutely beautiful clean location is amazing to everything.
The staff spoke fluent English all of them at the front desk.
Very friendly and to have a restaurant for breakfast and a lounge to have a cocktail in the afternoon or evening was so convenient

The room was clean and very spacious
Great location less than ten minute walk to old town . Plenty of restaurants nearby .
Very close to train station and in front of bus station
Breakfast was good a nice selection & very reasonable. Staff were very helpful .
We loved our short two-day sunny stay at the Marina Rio in early November. It had the true marina vibe right in front of the boat harbor with many nearby seafood restaurants, places to rent boat tours, and a wonderful wooden plank walking trail from the town and then across the cliffs.
The newly beautifully renovated hotel is conveniently located, within walking distance of everything we wanted to see. The rooms were very clean and well-stocked.
We loved its' location overlooking the marina. The other bonus was the proximity to the bus terminal which meant no stress getting to our bus the morning we left.
The hotel is bright and spacious, and the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend the Marina Rio and would happily stay there again.
