Hestia Hotel Europa

Stayed on my own and got a regular room and not a ridiculous single room. Bed super comfortable, close enough from the old town for a nice walk, quiet you do not ear whatever your neighbours decide to do. Finally staff and breakfast very nice as well. My only reservation concern the sauna, ridiculous prices (25€ from recollection) for a very basic , nothing nice and warm sauna. Really not recommadable experience, surprinsingly sauna is free of charge during breakfast hours.... maybe the nordics love to have sauna so early? surely not other european folks....

The hotel itself is decent. Clean, yet the bathroom seemed a little worn (broken tiles and table around the sink looked dirty). Bed was terribly hard. Corridors could have had better lighting (it was really dim). Breakfast was decent. I had messaged the hotel beforehand to ask about the chance of getting some gluten free bread or müesli on breakfast. I never got an answer. I asked the same question of a woman standing behind the counter checking our room number when going to the breakfast. She just seemed really rude and said "Just go look over there" and pointed to the breakfast room. So I went and found nothing. Not a single sign indicating anything about allergens. That was the biggest problem for me as a coeliac. No separate serving for gluten/dairy free or for vegans. However I thought I try my luck with one of the waiters and asked if there was any gluten free bread, and she said there was! So, I got some bread (not any non-contaminated butter though) but otherwise one just has to pick stuff that are most likely safe to eat. There were cold cuts, cheese, vegetables, also yoghurt and canned fruits, so I got my stomach full anyway. The location is very good if one arrives on a cruise ship. However there's a lot of building work going on in the harbour area, so walking around wasn't always easy. Short distance to the old town as well as to the Rotermanni area.

I stayed in this hotel for two nights. The location is very good Close to the Ferry terminal and the Nautica shopping mall. The hotel is also Close to Rotermanni and city centre. The room is quite spacious and bright. The beds are very Hard and not so comfortable, I woke up at the same time both nights. The bath room is not very good, so worn out and in bad shape. The floor tiles in the bath room looks dangerous, can be slippery when wet. The breakfast was Good and plentiful. The hotel staff is not very service minded, but still helpful.
