Reviews

3.2 / 5

The hotel has a convenient and safe location, surrounded by great restaurants and attractions. However, the rooms are small, outdated, and often lack essential amenities such as air conditioning, blankets, and towels. The hotel could use renovation and better cleaning services.

    Very comfortable beds. Rooms are well-appointed and clean. Kumar and Al at the desk were very helpful. The #8 bus stop located outside the hotel is so convenient. I shall return. Glad to know that they are installing an elevator too.

    Identified bedbugs and had to leave to stay elsewhere, staff insistent that the bedbugs were not present and refused a refund.

    Despite being assigned a supposedly renovated room, I found dirt and hair in the dresser drawers and shower. There was no TV remote upon arrival, and the smoke detector appeared to be missing entirely, leaving exposed wires hanging from the ceiling and toilet paper stuffed in the hole The room lacked basic amenities, including a phone to contact the front desk and hand towels in the bathroom. With no air conditioning, I opened the windows for fresh air, but cigarette and marijuana smoke regularly entered the room. There are no hand towels other than the shower towels. The most frustrating incident occurred when the water suddenly shut off while I was in the middle of a shower. After going downstairs to inquire, I was told it would be restored within 30 minutes due to a leak. Instead, it took nearly two hours before I could finish showering. The concierge was polite and provided a remote and extra toilet paper when requested. However, the remote only worked intermittently, no apology was offered for the water outage, and I never saw housekeeping or had my room serviced during my two-night stay. Overall, the cleanliness issues, missing safety equipment, ongoing construction, and interruption of basic services made for a disappointing stay.

    The building was run down. Walls in the hallway were cracked and broken. Dirty blankets were in the hallway the day I checked in . The next day blankets were still in the hallway. The pictures on website do not look like the place looks like in person. No ac or heater, no parking. I would never stay here again.

    It was arguably safer, though not quieter, than staying on the street. VERY LOUD! We were given room 108, which was apparently directly over a nightclub with live music going to 3 am, so most of our night of sleep was lost to the noise. They should not rent out this room on weekend nights. It was very sparsely furnished, which I suppose is expected at the price.

    The location was good. I stayed at the hotel for one night and ended up staying and additional night out of convenience. And the rates were pretty good. This last visit I did not have a reservation and was told there was only one room left. Yeah that song and dance. So the first visit the rates were $70 a night this time it was $150 $170 with tax. But I still decided to get the room.. When I get in the room the TV is not working. When I bring it to the attention of the front and ask the question how are you charging the amount and the TV don't even work. And his response was that was them being mighty generous letting me use the tv. microwave and mini fridge because they didn't have to supply those things.

    This is a decent hotel to stay at in San Fran. There weren't any specific amenities and it looks like the property is undergoing a renovation. However, the location is great as it is right in the North Beach and Chinatown area, close to the buses for good transport and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    Some issues: There was some left over hair and some stains in the bathroom. Few strands of hair and what appears to be food stains in the drawers. Lastly, they forgot to plug in the Dish TV with the TV. I tried to find where to plug it in but was unsuccessful. Bit of a buzz kill but I did bring my iPad and I was more outside enjoying my trip than inside. Now, outside of my room was a different story. I'm aware they're trying to renovate and fix up the place but, the carpets are dirty and it smells like thick smoke all over. Location wise, its located near good restaurants however, personally I would not stay here again.

    The staff was nice, and the room was very clean even though it was tiny. I'd booked a queen bed with a shared bathroom, and got upgraded to a private bathroom for free. The bed was as hard as a rock. It looked to be a cheap mattress on a cheap bed frame, and I could feel every metal bar beneath me. The hallways also smelled faintly of cat urine. The location had a lot of bars and restaurants nearby, so the noise was unavoidable.

    Europa is an Awesome hotel but it’s under construction at the moment..Initially I stayed for first two nights on the first floor where I shared a bathroom although I had a sink in my room..Finally for my last day I upgraded to the second floor where my room was totally art deco and modern. I would suggest staying on the second level as it came with my own bathroom.

The smell throughout (entrance, hallway, room) the hotel was horrible. There was also no AC in our room and the sound proofing is really poor (thin walls).

My main issue with the hotel is that the toiletries lack, no hand soap, one roll of toilet paper and no floor towel for the bathroom, so when showering floor got wet.

    Staff was nice and talkative, very helpful! We were going for cheap not luxurious so it was very nice for that. It was a small room with a fridge and microwave but keep in mind no AC. Other guests were nice and rarely saw them. The entrance is pretty hidden and you need to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the reception. Felt cozy. The location was perfect though! Right next to Chinatown and a bunch of Italian places. Everything was perfect walking distance if you’re a walker. Everything was fine for the price, just the smell of cigarettes is strong in the hallways and seems stuck there. Overall great stay and budget friendly option! My girlfriend and I would stay again.

I stayed in a queen room with private bathroom for a very reasonable price and I feel like I absolutely got my moneys worth. Nothing inherintly bad to say about this place. The hallways were a little dirty but again this isn't the Mariot. The room was clean so no reason to complain about anything in particular. I can see how some people might say the location is loud but we didn't mind since we were going out to bars and coming back late etc.

    When we got to the room, things were even worse. Surfaces felt sticky, fixtures looked damaged, and the window wouldn’t close because it was crooked. It was being propped open with a trash can. The bed was very uncomfortable, and we saw dead bugs near the sink, which was the final straw. We decided not to stay the night. Yes, the location is convenient, but that doesn’t make up for the condition of the hotel. For safety reasons, I would strongly caution anyone traveling with kids or elderly family members. Even the walk to the room felt uncomfortable based on what we saw. We will not be returning.

The shower was really nice with hot water. The rooms look very different from the pictures. I think they need to put the real pictures of the rooms so people know what to expect. In regards of comfort the beds were fine but the pillows very soft and it was uncomfortable to sleep on those pillows. There was noise outside at night and we heard it make a little hard to sleep.

No elevator but max it’s only two flights of stairs. Strip club on the corner so you can hear the bass til about 2 am. Didn’t bother me much but for someone who needs silence to sleep it might be hard. The hotel was quiet everyone was respectful. I would stay here again because the price was very affordable and the location was perfect.

    I don't mind a room with shared bathroom. As long as my room is close by the bathroom, also the room has its own vanity basin. I enjoy the size of the room, they have a refrigerator and a microwave oven also. The decor is on the older side, yet its still functional. For the price for something you are only going to sleep the nights in, cannot be beaten! Internet is good! Great TV easy to use.

    I stayed in room 225, with private bath. it was clean and looked to be newly remodeled. S.F. Is an old city and the buildings are old too, i was expecting an aged room. The hotel looks a little scary from the outside but the room i stayed in was perfectly clean and safe. I will stay there again.

    A total disaster. Misrepresented in the Hotels.com app: the pictures were nothing like the real deal. Filthy room, filthy floors, A REAL FLOP HOUSE. Just awful. Advertised airport limo with price per person. I called the night before and spoke with someone at Europa who said, "Just call when you arrive." I did and was told that there was NO LIMO. Out of a score of 1 to 10 I would rate this place a minus 10 (-10).

    Online it was advertised that check in could be any time before midnight without advance notice, however when I called they said we must arrive before 11pm or the building would be locked. Room had no fan or AC, and the only window had no screen and opened to a straight drop into the alley. Our nonsmoking room smelled of smoke, and again the only ventilation was the window which was unsafe. The products in the shower were all empty and when I went to ask for some the staff was dismissive and gave me two packets of shampoo because that was “all they had”.

    Horrendous place with tiny unkempt rooms without air-conditioner and restrooms w/years overdue need of appliances replacement and with cockroaches. The info on Expedia's website about parking is deceiving; there is no overnight street parking and the only available offsite parking opens late w/out exceptions. We had to find a different hotel to leave for the airport early in a morning and they refused to refund us any money for a last night.

    I had a deeply unpleasant experience at Hotel Europa. From the moment we arrived, the staff were unwelcoming and rude — and I’m still not sure why. Things escalated when the manager began harassing us and closely watching our every move, which felt invasive and inappropriate. I was falsely accused of smoking in the room — something I do not do. After that, the manager’s aggressive attitude seemed to influence the entire staff. Their behavior quickly became hostile and disrespectful. It was clear we were no longer welcome. I would not recommend this hotel!

    If you want an overpriced stay in a "shoddy" (and thats me being kind) hotel where they cant even be arsed to vacuum the corridor carpets and where the non-smoking rooms reek of smoke, then this is the one for you. The only positive thing I can say is that it sits conveniently between Chinatown and Little Italy. The 2 contacts I had with members of the staff were pleasant enough. Oh! And there's no courtesy bus.

    Photo of the property misled me a little, it’s only a door off the walkway. A little tired looking, there were building works in progress but ideal for an overnight, as it was for us. Kindly let us leave our bags in a secure room whilst we went to Alcatraz (20 min walk). Even offered to ring for a taxi when we returned to collect our bags. Good location & plenty of food outlets close by.

    The Europa is budget hotel with private and shared bathroom options. It's an older building. However, they keep it super-clean. The shared bathrooms and showers are spotless. The rooms are large with a sink, fridge, microwave, and a large TV with Dish. The staff is really nice and accommodating. There are many dining options literally next door with a plethora of options being on the border of "Little Italy" and Chinatown. It's a few blocks from Coit Tower, the best views of the San Francisco Bay, in my opinion. The oldest running bar in SF is a block away....The Saloon...if you like famous musicians, live Blues players, no cover except weekends and super cheap drinks! Basically The Europa is a spectacular place for medium budget travelers.

    Location could not be better! Located right in Little Italy and literally across the street from Chinatown. Downtown is about a 15 min walk (downhill). The property itself is a bit run down-or full of character depending on who you ask. Its a bit like a 1980s hostel. Rooms are small as well. But the price is good and location is perfect. Staff are friendly and helpful too.

    I expected this place to be pretty basic and it did not disappoint on that. The room was clean and I felt safe. While the bed was not the most comfortable and the sheets are pretty thin, the comforter helped. The biggest surprise was that there were no towels in the bathroom and shampoo & bar soap came in plastic pouches. I had to ask the front desk for towels - and they only supplied large bath towels; no hand towels. Great location North Beach and good price. Good if you're ok with a bare bones basic room, no frills, and at a pretty low price.

It does not have a fancy facade, the entrance and hallways are old and not well maintained and the rooms are very basic. I'm fine with basic and my bed and towels were clean, the bed was comfortable, there was a mini fridge and microwave, tv, wifi everything I need. Don't go there expecting fancy, but if you just need a basic clean place to sleep in a good neighbourhood, it's a great choice. I would definitely stay there again.

    Very close to North Beach. You got San Francisco night life. Shared shower room is okay. Better than most other hostels’ shared shower room. Con: Very noice. A street singer singing on the cross street. Lots of traffic made noice. Calm down after 3 AM. No AC. My room’s TV is dead. No blanket. Just a flat sheet on the bed. One time experience is enough for me. Will not come back again.

    Stayed one night at Europa Hotel. I booked last-minute and it was nearly the only hotel available because there was a major convention on in the city. That meant I paid an outrageous amount for a very basic room, but it did the job. Pretty basic place but good location and the staff are helpful enough. If it’s cheap then it’s a good option.
