Hardly a honeymoon suite; booked this back in January, but did not get all the features of the honeymoon package offered. Also, got a giant cockroach, non-functional table light, and then we moved to another room, and it had no air condition, and then moved to another room, which at the end, was not bad, but at least in satisfactory...

I was pleased to see my friends at the front desk, dinning room and the main bellman again. I have stayed at several hotels around San Jose, but always come back to Europa. Europa is not a 5 star Hotel, but the service and breakfast included make up for it. Europa is a great place for an overnight stay before... More

I have stayed at the hotel on several occasions for work purposes. not a fancy place but the price paid for the accommodation is right. Some rooms need improvement in the paint and furniture. I have found bulbs burned in lamps at night; small details that can be improved easily and that would make a great difference in the guest... More

Got two nights for $79 for a queen sized bed. Nice big room on the 2nd floor. Located in a spot where you will want to take a cab to get wherever you need to at night, but is just fine during the day. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice little casino with some slot machines. Restaurant was ok. Free... More

For $35 a night, I do not expect kingly service and immaculate rooms. But Hotel Europa actually bordered on disgusting. The entire place smelled of ripe body odor and stale, uncleaned carpeting. The business computer in the lobby was sticky and putrid-smelling. The bed in our room looked like it had lived through 2 world wars, and the bathroom smelled... More

Location and price are very good. In the city center for a reasonable price. The room was cleaned daily. We only had breakfast in the restaurant (included in the price) which was satisfactory. Generally personnel was polite but the people at the front desk could do with a lesson or two in how to behave properly. I went to the... More
