Hotel Europa

I would not send a dog to stay at this disastor.

This hotel is cheap and very well located, between the main train station and Place de la Comédie, downtown. However it lacks the standard modern comfort: no elevator, old washroom, only one light, and it looks not very clean.

The hotel is in a great location, right off Place de La Comédie. If you're looking for a centrally located hotel with no frills then this is it. Air con, TV, hot water in the rooms, friendly staff. Perfect for our few days in Montpellier.

Like what almost everyone says in their reviews, I will NEVER again stay at this hotel. It was too expensive for what it offers. My room was on the 3rd floor (of course, no elevator,) and the AC in the room "did not work" as the guy at the front desk told me, and when I arrived at the hotel there was no towels in the room. Somebody brought two towels to my room after I checked in and was away sightseeing. The room was really like a prison cell and was not so clean. TV didn't even have a remote, and there was no phone, no nothing!!! It was just plain terrible. i should've read the reviews before booking this hotel. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. I'd rather stay at a youth hostel than stay at this place for the price I paid for it.

Location was perfect and the sheets were clean and there was hot water. Fortunately we only had to stay at the hotel one night as the room was dirty and many light bulbs did not work. Much tidying up needed in rooms but guess you get vwhat you pay for. Definately would not go back or recommend. Guess hotel good for backpackers.

Overall pretty poor On the good side, the location is excellent, but no loo seat or shower curtain in both our rooms. loose taps and electrical fittings. Unable to turn on air con on a 37 degree C day also not good.

The hotel was situated next to the train station - a plus - but next to a restaurant which can be noisy at night. There was no soap, shampoo, lotion , or anything in the room, there were wormlike creatures crawling in the shower, and no air conditioning that we could figure out how to turn on. We couldn't leave the windows open because there were no screens and the bats were up in the trees next to our window. The towels were small and dingy and there were no washcloths. There was no breakfast. The front desk host was very polite but they didn't open until the next day at 8am, so we couldn't even ask for the soap and shampoo, etc. There was a T.V. which helped to serve as a distraction, however. The youth in the neighborhood were rowdy and the locals who hung out at the train station were dressed like hookers or looked like they were under the influence of alcohol or drugs which made me thing this town as very shady. We only stayed for one night as a train stop on our way into Sain and were afraid to even walk the streets at night as we did Paris and Berlin. Nope, not here. If Montpellier has something to offer, the impression at the train station and this hotel overshadowed it.

So the room was very basic and not pleasant on the eyes but the location could not be beat. No major complaints except maybe the timer light on the restroom. Other than that the room was clean and covered the basics.

This hotel was in a great part of town, but it doesn't really cater to travelers as there is no elevator and if you have bags, you hoof them up at least one flight of stairs. The room was tolerable, but there was an intense smell of mold in the shower area that bled over into the room unless you kept the door shut. Couldn't use the shower because it smelled so bad. No air conditioning or at least the non-English speaking staff couldn't understand what we were asking in regards to getting it turned on.

The hotel has 2,5 stars but they didn't have in 'their best room" even a closet to hang out your close, and in the bathroom they didn't have a toilet seat. And everyone there was telling us that there is nothing they can do, they are there only employees, and the manager even if they call him he won't solve the problem. And all that knowing that we payed the most expensive double room in the hotel...
