This hotel was well located in front of the ferry jetty at the north end of Lake Garda. We found our std twin bed room just adequate in size, comfortable beds, well equipped bath/shower room and good air cond. The buffet breakfast was good and held in the terrace, overlooking the harbour. Our main complaint was that the air cond... more

I have visited Riva for 25 years, usually stay and a certain hotel but thought I'd like a change so booked Europa for myself and friend (she'd never been to Italy before) We were so impressed by the meals, the courtesey, the room and we decided we'd book again for 2008. Such was our luck, Europa stopped half board and... more

This 3 star B & B hotel is in an excellent position overlooking the harbour. Our room was spotless, not the most spacious but perfectly adequate. Twin beds, desk, table and loads of drawers and wardrobe space. No view. Overlooked a small courtyard but suited us as the room was very quiet. The breakfast room overlooks the Lake. Good variety... more

Top location by the ferry terminal and very close to the town centre although rather noisy in the evening until about midnight due to proximity of bars and restaurants (but beautifully silent in the morning!). Staff could not have been more helpful or pleasant. We got everything we asked for. We requested and were given rooms with lake view (Euro... more

Just returned from a lovely holiday in Riva del Garda having stayed at the Europa Hotel for a week (wished it could have been longer). The hotel breakfast room was a big surprise on our first morning as the view across the lake was spectacular and the selection of food was extremely generous. Our room was rather small and did... more

Riva is lovely and we booked for early May to ensure it wouldn't be too hot, and the weather was perfect. We had paid extra for a room overlooking the lake - however, the night we arrived we noticed that out room door didn't lock. This was reported to Paulo the night manager immediately. He was very laid back about... more

What a shame. Perfectly OK stay for three days and then, at check out, the front desk guy tries to increase the room rates despite the hotel's reservation confirmation clearly stating the rate quoted by them when the reservation was made a couple of months before...There had been a "mistake". What a terrible tactic for a hotel management to try.... more

We visited the best western europa in september of this year.First impressions were that it was ideally located on the side of the river, with an excellant view across the town square. We had paid extra for a room with a lakeside view and although the rooms were very simply decorated (not at all as shown on the website) the... more

Past reviewers of this hotel have given a strangely flattering but inaccurate picture of this mediocre establishment. My wife and I have just spent an enjoyable week here but would not consider it up to the standards of many other hotels in the area in this tariff range. Yes, it has a lakeside position…but not a ‘great’one. Its lakeside entrance... more
