Hotel Europa

The hotel itself is a really nice example of grand architecture dating back to the 30's, duly updated and with all modern conveniences. Excellent breakfast and good meals at very, very reasonable prices for the area.

The only negative thing, which for us was really a major disappointment, was the unbelievable streeet noise. It spoilt the entire holiday, 5 days. even on the 4thflooritwas unbearable and forced us to keep the French window shut almost all the time and prevented us from enjoying the spectacular views over the beautiful sea. We even had to keep it closed at night. The traffic just did not stop except for a few hours in the middle of the night. Of course it is not the hotel's fault, but if you seek peace and quiet, look for another location. Because of this, we will not go back. It's probably a lot quieter in the rooms at the back, but they do not have sea views.

. We were very disappointed with the general standard and Booking .com would really have to be more careful offering a hotel of this standard at the prices on offer. Based on our experience we would be very slow to rely on booking.com to book a hotel in the future.

The hotel did not reflect the description on the web site. The picture of the Casino which is opposite looks like it is the entrance to the hotel. We only realised it was not when we arrived there.The web says that the hotel had recently been completely refurbished. The only part that appeared to be refubished was the dining room. The rooms were old fashioned and depressing with the wall paper torn in places. The lift was a joke and had difficulty reaching the floor we were on.
