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

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

Like others, I got a pretty good price for this hotel (about $40 a night) so I stayed there for 10 days. Now that I know the San Jose area a little better I will probably not return to this hotel--there are better choices--but it is a pretty good compromise. It's a nice looking old hotel with reasonable service and... more

My wife and I stayed at the Europa Hotel January 17 & 18, 2005, forced to find a new hotel due to a power outage at our previous hotel. We walked the downtown streets at night getting hotel prices and luckily a friendly employee at Hotel Morazan directed us to Hotel Europa where he offered us a $42 per night... more
