Hotel Europa is a 2 star hotel on Via Cavour within 30 seconds of the Duomo. We stayed for 3 nights in September 2009. The location is second to none, from the window in our room we could see the tip of the duomo, it's literally a 30 second walk away. There is a market with stalls selling bags etc... more

Staff were very friendly and you couldn't ask for a more convenient location to great sites in Florence (1.5 blocks to Duomo and 1.5 blocks to Accademia). Hit the Bancomat to get cash before you leave to get the 10% cash discount on the room (this was offered to us, at least). The old-fashioned cage elevator was great fun ...... more

Our room was on the second floor with a small balcony from which the Duomo could be seen while we were sipping wonderful cappiccino.The staff were very friendly and the location was execellent for walking to world heritage treasures. The green line trip to Fiesole was well worth the time, and Roman excavations were impressive. Robert, Mirriam and the rest... more

I had the pleasure of staying three days at Hotel Europa at the height of tourist season in Florence. Although Hotel Europa was fully booked, at no time did it seem crowded or hectic. Quite the contrary, any time of day or night I was at the hotel, it always seemed an oasis of serenity and calm amidst the hustle... more

The location is extremely convenient, and the courtyard-facing rooms don't suffer from noise. The staff are helpful, and some speak great English. The rooms and the beds are surprisingly big. The breakfast is disappointing, with pastries that aren't fresh and other foods that are very basic. There are no notable public facilities, but since you are central Florence that's not... more

we were transfered to the Europa as our original Hotel Giada had lost our booking . I think we had the better deal. Our room was immaculately clean as was the bathroom. It was very peaceful and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. On my first morning (of three) I asked if I could have a second cup of... more

I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. After a trip across much of Western Europe, we had booked into this hotel, based on its reviews and its price. We knew we weren't getting the Ritz, and all we wanted was a comfortable place to use as our base for our two days in Florence. This hotel is essentially a... more

We have stayed at the Hotel Europa on four different occasions. When you research the prices that many hotels in Florence charge, it is a great value. The building dates from the fourteenth century with rooms that are large, sparkling clean and feature cable tv and a small refrigerator. All rooms, most with a view of the Duomo, are air-conditioned... more

My wife, daughter (14), two sons (12, 9) and I stayed at Hotel Europa for two nights in mid-June. We had searched and searched for a good lodging option that could accommodate a family of five without us having to pay for two rooms. Hotel Europa fit the bill perfectly, as we were given a family suite that consisted of... more
