  I have enjoyed each of my stays at Rivet House. Harper has always been so helpful and welcoming with each stay. The restaurant has great choices and drinks. The hotel is very secluded which I like however the walls are thin you can definitely hear your neighboring guest beside you. I have experienced a room on both sides from the train to the parking lot view. I will say the room on the side by the train wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I love that the curtains are black out so if you really want to get some rest you can. Overall it’s a really nice hotel especially for Athens. Love love love the shower. Perfect place for a staycation or if you’re just in town visiting. I for sure will be staying again.

  As a frequent traveler of all sorts of crazy places, this is the one I do not recommend. For the price per room, this place is not scenic, quiet or comfortable, the onsite restaurant is over-rated and oh yeah if you are going for spa day, they have limited people that work there. Oh the fun part, train goes by all night, horn, screech and all. But they do provide ear plugs and a loud white noise maker. We changed our room from right next to the tracks to other side facing parking lot and heard everything. By the way, walls are thiiiiiin. I mean toilet paper thin. So if you got 400-500 a night to burn anything else would have a better return. Just saying. Great concept totally the wrong place.

  Really a 4.5 star rating. Very nice hotel, certainly the nicest in Athens. New, and definitely in the modern vernacular of a repurposed industrial building. Overall a very nice experience. The main gripe, albeit minor, was at the room, which was an upgraded King, was quite small. No drawers, no full closet, just a hanging bar, and a mostly open bathroom. Pretty, comfortable mattress. We were also on the side of the hotel right by the train tracks. We were anxious because on arrival, there was a noise machine, ear plugs, and a note from the management apologizing for the noise. Actually, though, we had about four trains pass to and they really weren't that loud. Certainly much less obnoxious than the more common drunk guests in the hallway scenario that we so often encounter. Service was otherwise very nice, although the absence of Bell staff was a bit of a surprise at a hotel presenting itself as four or five star. You get your own luggage card and haul your bags, but it's a small enough facility that it's not a big deal. Love the restaurant. Fun atmosphere, excellent food, solid wine and cocktail list. Had a drink at the bar after dinner as well which was well equipped. Overall, definitely a "would stay again" hotel and I would recommend it. Next time, maybe we upgrade to a suite?
