What a Dump!
The hotel Regy which is the hotel side of the Europa Hotel should be condemned! It is an absolute disgrace. From leaking roofs to sheets that don't fit the beds, to curtains falling off their tracks, to duvets that are simply blankets folded in half to decor that needs serious attention. I was absolutely shattered at the service, the breakfasts are absolutely disgusting and the Reception service is useless. Organised a wake-up call to catch our bus and this was not done, fortunately we woke up on our own. I would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy!

The Europa Hotels & Congress Center is divided into 2 hotels - a higher and a lower middle class hotel. The lower is however quite in order and the price-performance ratio is good. If you appreciate a quiet location with a lot of nature you will feel very comfortable here. The hotel is located on the outskirts, but is easily accessible by car and has a private car park. A bus stop is located 100m from the entrance. Bus 22 runs to the city center every 5 minutes and the journey takes about 20 minutes. The rooms and bathrooms of the hotel are simple but clean. The hotel area is very large and is thus as an overnight hotel for larger tourist groups well suited. A 25m indoor swimming pool is located in the hotel, the entrance fee (also for guests!).

Hello, The rooms of the 4 star part resemble an apart/hotel with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, large bathroom. The sleeping is good. In terms of location, the hotel is on the outshirts of town but is very well connected by bus (from 06:00 to 00:30 in August). Breakfast is plentiful and varied.

a gray, dirty buildings and hanging curtains in the windows: on arrival in the parking lot is already not that the hotel is really inhabited believes. But then: in the entrance area lacking water stains on the carpet, ceiling tiles, holes in bed linen and towels, sheets too short, yellowed shower curtain, two Hungarian TV channels on TV, stains on the tablecloths in the restaurant, be placed on the napkins, etc. The category "3 stars "is the joke.

Lovely Wedding Venue
****Sylvia T
NYC USA
I'm so glad I didn't see these other reviews or I might have been concerned. I attended the wedding of my niece at this venue. It was perfectly lovely. They had booked several floors for wedding guests and the rooms were quite adequate. I met a number of my niece's friends and reconnected with family members who still live in Europe. One young man I had a conversation with was part of the wedding party. When I asked him what he did for a living he said that he works for a wholesale vapor products distributor in the US. I had no idea what he was talking about, but then he showed me the strange devise that he was puffing on. Instead of smoking cigarettes he said he was enjoying his favorite e-juice. I couldn't understand how he could "smoke" this ejuice, shouldn't he be drinking it? Well, apparently e juice generally consists of propylene glycol, glycerin, water, nicotine, and flavorings and the liquid is converted to vapor by an electronic cigarette, ie the little contraption he was holding. He offered me to try it, and I did. Quite, pleasant, but different from cigarettes. And the contraption, which he called a Kanger TOPBOX Mini Vaporizer, was quite unique. I think that encounter was almost as memorable as the wedding.
