Hestia Hotel Europa

“Not bad, but actually quite good 👍”

Pluses: Morning sauna, very good breakfast buffet, large standard rooms, with wood theme + you don't need to have the hotel card or other card to activate the electricity in the room = you can charge electronics when away.

Pluses: Morning sauna, very good breakfast buffet, large standard rooms, with wood theme + you don't need to have the hotel card or other card to activate the electricity in the room = you can charge electronics when away. And the bed mattress is firm and good, almost better than the one I have at my home. The minibar fridge is empty, but cold, so you can cool your own drinks w/o taking out stuff. Minuses (not very substantial): No posters or pictures on the walls of the room, which gives a bit of a cold feeling. The Samsung hotel TV doesn't have a chromecast/miracast option, so you are stuck to linear TV, unless you bring a HDMI cable. Also the apps on the TV seem outmoded since BBC news didn't work, and Plex couldn't reach my server, enven though I could log in.

“Clean, well appointed hotel minutes walk from Old Town”

We booked the superior double with balcony for two nights. Hotel was very nice, clean and well appointed rooms. We chose to book not in old town bc we wanted a bigger room and we got it.

We booked the superior double with balcony for two nights. Hotel was very nice, clean and well appointed rooms. We chose to book not in old town bc we wanted a bigger room and we got it. Mattress was a good quality firmer one which we both found comfortable. We booked balcony so that we could sit outside but I didn’t realise that maybe ppl book the balcony rooms so that they can smoke, as the hotel provides ashtrays. We didn’t use the balcony due to that. It was still nice to have the big floor to ceiling windows though we kept them closed. There is construction in the area around the harbour but we didn’t hear any noise from that- we stayed Saturday to early Monday morning. Breakfast buffet was quite nice and there were ample vegetarian options and my partner enjoyed a helping of bacon that he enjoyed. 5 minute walk to the old town walls. Taxi was 15 euros to the airport.

“Decent hotel”

The hotel itself is decent. Clean, yet the bathroom seemed a little worn (broken tiles and table around the sink looked dirty). Bed was terribly hard. Corridors could have had better lighting (it was really dim). Breakfast was decent. I had messaged the hotel beforehand to ask about the chance of... more

The hotel itself is decent. Clean, yet the bathroom seemed a little worn (broken tiles and table around the sink looked dirty). Bed was terribly hard. Corridors could have had better lighting (it was really dim). Breakfast was decent. I had messaged the hotel beforehand to ask about the chance of getting some gluten free bread or müesli on breakfast. I never got an answer. I asked the same question of a woman standing behind the counter checking our room number when going to the breakfast. She just seemed really rude and said "Just go look over there" and pointed to the breakfast room. So I went and found nothing. Not a single sign indicating anything about allergens. That was the biggest problem for me as a coeliac. No separate serving for gluten/dairy free or for vegans. However I thought I try my luck with one of the waiters and asked if there was any gluten free bread, and she said there was! So, I got some bread (not any non-contaminated butter though) but otherwise one just has to pick stuff that are most likely safe to eat. There were cold cuts, cheese, vegetables, also yoghurt and canned fruits, so I got my stomach full anyway. The location is very good if one arrives on a cruise ship. However there's a lot of building work going on in the harbour area, so walking around wasn't always easy. Short distance to the old town as well as to the Rotermanni area.

I stayed in this hotel for two nights. The location is very good Close to the Ferry terminal and the Nautica shopping mall. The hotel is also Close to Rotermanni and city centre. The room is quite spacious and bright. The beds are very Hard and not so comfortable, I woke up at the same time both nights. The bath room is not very good, so worn out and in bad shape. The floor tiles in the bath room looks dangerous, can be slippery when wet. The breakfast was Good and plentiful. The hotel staff is not very service minded, but still helpful.
