The place was clean, but the food was awful. One of my friends got sick from their ham. It is like 20 minutes away from Varese center by foot, it is like 30 minutes away from the train station, my point is it is quite far from the things of interest of Varese/places to eat ( you have to search them, because besides the coffee, nothing has taste there) At lunch, we had brocolli wich looked really awful. Horrible food.
We have just come back from a week in Varese. We chose the hotel Europa as they have some rooms equipped with a little kitchen. It was a special and important occasion for us. What to say: first, the location is unbeatable while you are right in te city center, with dozen of restaurants nearby. Parking is not an issue as the hotel has a closed parking. In terms of furnishing, services etc. It is a typical Italian 3 stars hotel. Somehow you can feel that the place has had a glorious past and feels now a bit decadent (green spaces not wow, some kitch decoration touches etc), a restaurant which is now a pub with a limited choice BUT what Makes the Europa special are the people working there: Alessandro, Roberto and Daniela in reception, the guy managing the pub / restaurant and of course the chambermaid Nicoletta: they really made us feeling and at home and they are the best reason to come back!
L'hotel si trova in una zona periferica di Varese , però molto verde e tranquilla, una vera boccata di ossigeno dopo il traffico della Milano laghi e della città. Accoglienza efficiente ed educata senza fronzoli, camera bella e spaziosa . Punti forti sono la facilità di prenotazione , l'ampio e comodo parcheggio , una parte addirittura ombreggiata e la colazione super al mattino. Molto frequentato da turisti austriaci e del Nord Europa. Prezzo a mio avviso più che equo ( 82 euro compresa tassa di soggiorno) tenendo conto che era un sabato sera ed in città in contemporanea vi era un concerto dal tutto esaurito.
