Terrible! Stayed for 2 weeks in Costa Rica and it was the worst hotel ever!! Old, dirty, noisy and our room was bellow acceptable. Our travel agency sold us as a four star hotel. It doesn’t deserve two! Breakfast was ok and free internet saves it from the lowest score. The location is central but its very danger to walk... more

My fiancee and I stayed in Hotel Europa in June of 2008 and it was good value but there were a few problems. The air conditioning did not work and it took a while to have it fixed but they did come and fix it. But the strangest problem was with the shower that would go from boiling hot water... more

I read the reviews on this site before we went to Europa, and was very pleasantly surprised when we got there as we had expected worse given some of the views! The reception staff were very helpful and friendly, and the rooms were nice and spacious, and had all been recently redecorated. We did have a problem with our shower,... more

Gate One Tours booked our stay at the Hotel Europa. After I read the reviews on this site, I was almost ready to back out. Now I feel the hotel has been unfairly tarred. 1. It is easy to get to and from the airport, and is centrally located, within walking distance of several museums. 2. The staff is friendly... more

We stayed at the Europa hotel in San Jose, Costa Rica from Oct 16 to 23, 2007. The first room was an outside room with street noise and streetlamps shining through the drapes; unable to get any sleep. The management was co-operative in moving us into one of their renovated rooms overlooking the courtyard/pool which was much better. The dining... more

I was staying in San jose for 3 days and stayed here for its price and convenience of local in the city. I moved rooms after the first night becuase of the noise from the interior and elevators. I then looked at 2 other rooms before selecting one. The rooms vary greatly!!! All in all great security, nice bar and... more

Stayed there with my family over spring break vacation 2007. We first got a room with windows looking at the main street, but it was too noisy and it seemed very old, so we asked for another room and got a more decent and quiet room. It included breakfast which was very good, more than I expected. The staff was... more

I arrived at this hotel and they didn´t have my reservation although I had made one over the phone about 4 weeks in advanced. However, they gave me a room anyway. The room itself left a lot to be desiredÑ the furniture was old, the bedsheets were very worn out, and it just looked cheap all around. For the US$70... more
