We only stayed one night and arrived late and it rained constantly until we left the next morning so can't really comment on what should have been a lovely area. Parking is a bit tricky behind the secure gate and a walk back with the cases but is OK. Room was good and clean. However the reason to stay here is the breakfast... it is great.

Across from the Lake and close to bars, restaurants, and shopping. Easy access for around the lake. Hotel Europa needs a translated map for parking. It is very confusing when you first arrive and need to unload baggage. There is no area to park and do that in front. No one knows to go thru the gate next to Santa restaurant, up the hill to the left and if parking lot is full, then where do u park??? The staff unfotunately could not clearly understand or communicate. Breakfast and staff were excellent! Housekeeping was good. Our view of the lake was nice. Bathroom shower is small, needs shelves for soap, shampoo, etc.

Excellent breakfast and helpful staff. There's a small free car park at the back of the hotel, which is very convenient. The rooms are comfortable and offer suitable storage. Excellent location within a short walking distance to the restaurants and bars of the centre of town without the noise. Only draw back is that you can hear your neighbours as there's no noise insulation.

The breakfast room overlooks the lake and has a fantastic selection for the breakfast. Lovely little hotel.

Lots of restaurants nearby as well as beaches and promenade/shopping. We had 2 rooms for our family of 5 with views overlooking the water which was stunning. I would stay there again.

No me parece serio ese regateo durante el check in.

We stayed here because it was affordable and the reviews said the breakfast buffet was very good ~ even so, the continental breakfast still surpassed our expectations. The extras were amazing: delicious cakes, variety of croissants, even raw honeycomb, and bee pollen! We were offered a free glass of Prosecco each, and the service was top notch. All staff members were extremely helpful and friendly, also speaking good English. We like to sleep in total darkness, and even at 9am the room was almost pitch black with the shutters closed. 👍 Location was perfect for us, right on the edge of the lake with a small convenience store about 100ft from the hotel where we were able to buy affordable drinks and snacks, which closes at 11pm. My only advise for staying in this area is to bring insect repellent if you wish to spend the evening along the Lake edge, as there are lots of gnats/mosquitos - of course this is nothing to do with the hotel though! Would absolutely stay here again, the free breakfast was definitely the best part.
