“Great Simple Hotel on the waterfront at Silema.”

I must say I was really impressed by Europa. Rooms were nice and big and staff helpfull and freindly. Its a simple hotel but clean and tidy and in convenient spot. Right on the waterfront nice cafes and kiosks near , bus to Valetta or Airport or other places right there or a little wander not to far behind to the ferry to Valetta. Europa and Silema is an excellent base for trips to explore malta. Great for the traveller who wants to get out and about and have a neat and tidy room to return to. It was low season in Malta but still quite popular so I think the world is out that Europa is well priced nad offers a good simple product.

“Acceptable given the budget price”

Initial impressions good. A safe, pleasant sea-front location with a clean, modern reception and obliging staff. The room was a bit of a shock, even given the budget price. Because I had a 4 bed room all to myself, it was spacious. Fittings were old, basic but functional and adequate...old, battered clipboard desk, 14 inch CRT colour TV with decent channel range (inc. BBC World News and one or two other English language stations), drawers and a wardrobe. The beds looked new and had firm, clean and comfortable matrices. Shower, sink and toilet all OK. But the whole room had a tatty, slightly dirty look about it and I found myself being careful not to look too closely for fear of what I might see. Room servicing was hit and miss. Bin was emptied every day. Sheets were never changed but the bed was always tidied. Towels were sometimes replaced. This brings me on to the oddest feature; Windows in this interior room looking into what looked like a lift shaft but full of building materials. It was evident from the stink that smokers in other rooms above a below used this as their chimney. Finally, there was an internal door dividing my room from next door. Thankfully, it was sealed shut but still let lots of noise through to join the regular door-slamming resonating around the corridors at all hours. So bring your ear plugs! It's a budget hotel. You can't expect the Ritz. All in all, I felt it was acceptable value for money but no bargain.

“Cheap average hotel”

The hotel was completely average, but so was the price. It was a cheap 5 days away and for the price the hotel was fine. There were no particular extras and the "buffet breakfast" of bread/toast, cereal and (awful) coffee was a bit poor but the room was a good size, with a comfy(ish) bed. The windows unfortauntely did not shut properly which is fine in a hot mediteranian summer but was a bit cold in March. Overall though I would see the place as a glorified hostel which is fine for somewhere to put your head for the night. Also, the "hairdryer in the room" option is a bit of an overstatement as its actually one hotel in reception that you can borrow for a bit...

“Not as bad as some reviewers say”

We have stayed at Europa for 4 nights, and it was a nice stay. The room was spacious and clean, the bathroom was very good, and our sea view room had a loggia (kind of balcony) facing the sea - I mean the beautiful open sea, not a harbour. The location is pefect - the Sliema waterfront, with buses to Valletta, St. Julians and Rabat/Mdina passing by, and the ferry to Valletta only about a mile away. It is true that not everything in the hotel works at any given time. When we were there, the heating and the television did not work and were not fixed in these 4 days. However, we could do without both, and the only other problem was that there was no corkscrew at the reception. I think they can definitely fix the latter problem in no time. For the price we paid, the hotel was a bargain - and we will stay there again, if we ever go to Malta. We also loved the little restaurant Le Malte next door - they serve excellent and relatively inexpensive Maltese food. They also have free Wi-Fi (it is not free at the hotel), so you can catch up with the world while waiting for your dinner.

“You get what you pay for - Not a lot..”

Room, sheets and towels clean on arrival, but didn't get any replacement clean sheets throughout my weeks stay. No English speaking channel on the TV. Very glad that I paid extra for a sea view as most of the rooms appear to be internal ones. Very small and dimly lit Hotel Lobby. I didn't pay a lot of money for this hotel, so didn't expect too much, but I have stayed in better hotels for similar money.

“Good Value”

Good Value for what you pay

“Never go there with a family!!!!!!”

No hot running water, ceiling fan hanging off, 3 single beds instead of one double and a single. Never want to go there again.

“Dissapointed”

2 stars b&b, the only good thing was location and Mojito Bar, but there was no frige and 27 degrees with fan on. Not nice experience. But people was really friendly

“Do NOT STAY AT HOTEL EUROPA”

The staff are very friendly and helpfull - YET WE had no hot water for 3 day and the managemengt were rude about sorting it out!!!
