Guest Reviews
Location
The hotel's location also benefits those traveling by car with ample free parking available nearby. It's an ideal base for not only exploring Florence but also other notable Tuscan destinations like Siena and Pisa. The quiet neighborhood surrounding the hotel provides a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing.
Despite some mentions of the hotel being run-down, the overall sentiment highlights the excellent location, making it an optimal choice for visitors who prioritize accessibility and convenience in their travel plans. The central setting in Piazza della Stazione in Signa, coupled with a good breakfast selection, rounds out the appeal for those looking to balance ease, comfort and affordability.
Breakfast
The quality of the food is frequently remarked upon with delicious croissants and fresh coffee being particular favorites. Guests also commend the friendly and efficient staff who contribute to a satisfying dining experience. The breakfast is often described as hearty, filling and generous, ensuring that there are ample options to start the day.
However, not all reviews are glowing. Some guests find the breakfast monotonous and feel that the selection could be improved, especially regarding fresh vegetables and fruit. A few reviewers were less satisfied with the quality of certain items, referring to some aspects as being industrially packaged or reheated frozen goods. Despite these critiques, the overall consensus is that the breakfast at Hotel Europa is a strong point, offering a good variety and pleasant dining environment.
Dinner
Rooms
However, the majority of reviews highlight significant areas for improvement. Numerous guests have pointed out that the rooms are outdated with furnishings reminiscent of past decades and in urgent need of refurbishment. Issues such as old carpets, worn-out furniture, small room sizes and inadequate cleanliness have been commonly mentioned. Many rooms suffer from poor soundproofing, making it difficult to avoid noise from adjacent rooms and corridors. Bathrooms, frequently described as small and cramped, often have problems like mold, broken fixtures and lack of proper ventilation.
In summary, while Hotel Europa has some redeeming qualities such as cleanliness in select areas, spaciousness in some rooms and a favorable location, the outdated conditions, poor soundproofing and varying levels of cleanliness largely overshadow these benefits, suggesting an urgent need for comprehensive updates and renovations.
Beds
However, not all feedback is positive. Some guests report issues with bed size and quality, pointing out that some beds are small, old or not functional. There are also mentions of hard or uncomfortable mattresses and instances where two single mattresses were pushed together but didn't provide an ideal sleeping arrangement. Unfortunately, there are even mentions of bed bugs, which is a serious concern for any traveler.
In summary, while many guests find the beds at Hotel Europa comfortable and conducive to a restful sleep, there are notable drawbacks related to bed size, comfort inconsistency and occasional hygiene issues.
Cleanliness
However, several reviews indicate that the hotel could benefit from modernization with many pointing out that the rooms and facilities are old and sometimes in poor condition. Issues such as dirty carpets, mold in the bathrooms, broken hairdryers and non-functioning air conditioning units are among the complaints. Furthermore, some guests report a general lack of thorough cleaning with dust, dirt marks on walls and occasional ant infestations detracting from the overall experience. The corridors and stairways also seem to lack regular cleaning attention.
Despite these areas needing improvement, many guests still find the Hotel Europa to be a good value for money, appreciating its cleanliness in key areas and its convenient location. In summary, while the hotel maintains a basic level of cleanliness in rooms and linens, it struggles with maintaining the overall condition and cleanliness of its older structure and common areas.
Staff
The cleaning personnel also receives praise for their friendliness and attentiveness, contributing to a hospitable atmosphere. Certain individual staff members are noted for their exceptional kindness and attentiveness with special mentions of Pamela and Giulia for their exemplary service.
However, some reviews point to areas needing improvement, such as instances of staff unpreparedness or perceived lack of proper training. There are mentions of staff being inexperienced or slow at times and a few guests noted incidents where staff behavior could have been more professional. One review expressed concern over staff not enforcing mask-wearing protocols and another mentioned a discomforting experience with staff entering the room unannounced.
Overall, the general consensus underscores the hotel's friendly and professional staff, significantly enhancing the guest experience at Hotel Europa, despite a few isolated criticisms.

4 Star
Service quality is another area where the hotel struggles with guests frequently labeling it as poor. Many highlight a significant discrepancy between what is advertised and the reality, suggesting the photos do not accurately represent the hotel's current state. The general sentiment suggests that the hotel would be more fittingly classified as a 2-to-3-star establishment rather than the advertised 4 stars. Price points are mentioned as favorable, but they do not compensate for the structural and service deficiencies. Overall, the hotel has left many guests feeling disappointed and misled by its advertised four-star rating.
Accessible
The elevator is well-maintained and in good condition, ensuring ease of movement between floors. Parking isn't an issue either with various options available including free public parking nearby and paid parking options directly in the area and in the square in front of the hotel.
While the hotel is largely accessible, some aspects of the bathrooms could be improved. Reviews mention that the bathrooms are very small with obsolete equipment and poor ventilation, which may not cater well to guests with specific needs. Additionally, issues like shower falls and small bath tops make comfort a concern. Despite these points, Hotel Europa's overall accessibility and convenient location make it a suitable option for many travelers.
