Upon arrival and unpacking there were bugs on the window sill and crawling on the ceiling walls. Moved to a new room thankfully. However, for a newer hotel it was lacking in many areas! No storage space for clothing other than a small 2ft bar to hang items. No dresser or drawers in the room whatsoever. The rooms are open concept so you literally wash your hands at the sink that is a foot from the bed. The clothing bar is adjacent to the wet bar so your drinks and food are right beside your clothes. No closets!! The shower was a waterfall shower with absolutely no water pressure. The hotel literally is parallel to the train tracks so you hear the trains running constantly. There was only one staff member at the front desk so no service at all if she was occupied by someone else. Extremely disappointing design and layout for a NEW hotel.

This is a hidden gem in Athens! A beautiful space, with beautiful exterior architecture. The inside decor is thoughtfully put together, giving you an industrial yet chic classy vibe. The staff was extremely friendly and personable. Definitely a must stay! I wish we had more time to try the spa.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Rivet House. The hotel decor was very cute, and the staff was both courteous and professional. The rooms were well appointed and the beds were extremely comfortable. I also had dinner at the on-site restaurant which exceeded my expectations for both food quality and service. The only downside is the location of this property. It’s in an industrial area and there are trains running nearby at night. They provide ear plugs which are helpful, and the rooms facing the front of the property fair much better with the noise. The difference was night and day. Overall, I would stay here again when in the area. I suggest you do the same.
