Hotel Europa

Staff was excellent. Rooms were great.

Location and room size

I booked an ocean view reservation and I got a window looking at the laundry of people living in the other side of the street.To get to the bed you need to climb very high stairs which feels dangerous to older people

Location was excellent- great view of water & castle. You can walk along the lungomare, cross the bridge to the old town, & go to great restaurants. Staff was very nice & helpful.

Our first visit to overnight in Puglia so we'd booked a villa just south of Taranto for a 2 week stay. Decided we deserved first two nights in a hotel to orient ourselves and delighted to discover the charms of Hotel Europa. Taranto's one way system is designed to test the patience of newcomers and we found ourselves on a circuit round the old town and fortuitously parked opposite the castello and the tourism information office who kindly pointed out that Hotel Europa was across the bridge immediately in front of us and a 3 minute walk away. Situated on a handy corner with splendid views of the Mediterranean and so-called Little Sea. A bonus to discover reserved parking spaces for guests at no extra cost. We were greeted and checked in by a gentleman called Marcello Centola, clearly a long-serving member of hotel and blessed with old-school courtesy-a true gentleman. He looked after us throughout the two days, always ready to help, and recommended a fine restaurant, Guernica, a couple of blocks away for our first evening. The following day we discovered Pasta Passione, equally good and just around the corner. We also enjoyed coffee and lunch at Barone opposite the castello. Breakfast was excellent with a large range of selection, especially breads and bakery items. We could not have had a nicer beginning for our stay in Puglia. I should mention that some of the rooms appear to have used the high ceilings to create an upstairs and downstairs with stairs that might prove challenging to older or less mobile folk but we found our room (401) to be perfectly comfortable if eccentrically arranged. Hotel is two minutes walk from the bridge separating the newer part of the city form the centro storica. We arrived in Bari and drove the 90 or so kilometers to Taranto which proved to be a great base for our stay to explore the southern areas of Puglia.

Location.

Blinds let too much light inside the room thus it is hard to sleep after sunrise (if you need dark room for sleeping, of courae!). No curtains at all in the bedrooms.

Excellent position, right at the door of the old city . Amazing view from the room.

The floor was a bit run down, it needs sanding and staining.

Great location. Very nicely appointed. The staff was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly.

Love this hotel clean and beautiful personnel were incredibly polite and best breakfast by far from 12 hotels that I slept on during this puglia vacation

Lovely modern decor and fabulous location. We were able to park right outside the hotel.

Upstairs bedroom a tad hot.

The location, the cleanliness, the breakfast, the waiters from breakfast

The twin split room is very small, facing the interior garden. The beds in twin room are quite small. When we arrived we were very dissapointed with the twin rooms and asked for an upgrade to a family suite, but the receprion supervisor tried to sell the family suite with full price. Very unfriendly attitudine, not at all oriented to the customer needs.

This is the best hotel you can get in Italy. Very good location, correct pricing, excellent services, friendly staff. You can't wish for more. Go to this hotel and you will be very happy with it!

Big room with great lighting clean bed and towels. Rich breakfast but some of the fresh products were re used the next days so you could tell that they weren’t fresh anymore, and not good to eat. The staff is great, really kind. Don’t take the taxi with the hotel, the guy that they call charge a lot more than normal taxis.

The room floor wasn’t super clean I could see the dust in the angles and the last night the a/c started dropping water for no reason. Also the sink was a little unattached from the wall. But for the rest the room was okay

Wonderful staff. Clean and comfortable. Perfect location. Excellent breakfast.

Centrally located, view of the sea, the building outside is beautiful. Inside is just as beautiful and classy. Our room wasn’t very big but still very comfortable. The bathroom was small but still very functional. The one thing I would change would be the shower head, it wasn’t very stable. Bed and pillows very cozy and comfortable. Overall, we wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

The shower head , it was very unstable. Would make the bathroom and shower a bit bigger but other than that it was still a comfortable bathroom.

Staff was exceptional. Very helpful. Breakfast was good . Loved walking around town

There was a step outside of bathroom upstairs. My husband tripped over it at night and fell .

Great Breakfast

Very outdated, old bathrooms, and rooms.

The location The breakfastThe staffGreat hotel in all aspects.

The position

Great location near all the restaurants & sites yet still quiet. Fantastic staff, good breakfast, and comfortable rooms for a good price.

Superb location in the center of Taranto. Very professional and friendly staff who helped us park in the nearby garage after opening hours, as we were being a little late due to traffic. Got an upgrade on the family room as well. Very nice breakfast buffet also.

We had nothing to complain about.

Warm staff, great facilities and excellent location.
