The hotel is beautifully situated on a hill above the ancient Olympia site and has weeping views of the valley below. The room was lovely; spacious and clean, nicely furnished with a sunken living area and a beautiful, modern bathroom. The staff were all helpful and friendly and the managers a delight. The breakfast buffet was sumptuous and dinner delicious, with much of the food grown and raised on the manager's farm nearby. Overall, it couldn't have been better. The detached building had an odd layout, with steps and ramps necessary aside from the elevator. Not a problem for us, but could be for those with limited mobility. The main building is easier to navigate.

This is a wonderful hotel! We had booked for one night, then stayed on for a second. Everything was perfect: the staff warm and friendly, helpful, caring and they spoke fluent English. The restaurant and huge breakfast buffet were excellent, the room quiet, large and comfortable. The location is great too, close to the ruins (1 minute with the car), but far-off from any noise and trouble, on a hill. I hadn't expected such a treat for this price, I can truly recommend it. We liked everything.

Everything! All staff friendly and helpful and we were even treated to a small pot of their home-made jam when we checked out. The choice and standard of the breakfast was great. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

We booked a family room, but were given a much more spacious and comfortable 3 room apartment at the same price, which was very nice. The pillows were soft and comfortable, which is rare to find in a hotel. The vicinity is rural and quiet, you could hear the twittering of the birds in the morning. The balcony had a nice view of a valley. There was a rich buffet breakfast for every taste sweet or savoury, including freshly squeezed orange juice, home made marmalades and a lot of pastry. The only critique is that the pastry could have been a little better. The staff was obliging.

The staff at Hotel Europa were wonderfully friendly. We were personally escorted to our room when we checked in. We visited during low season, and they upgraded us from a basic room to a suite for our family. That was a lovely surprise as the second bedroom had pictures Disney pictures on the walls, and a couple books and toys in the room. The buffet breakfast is very good with a selection of western, european and greek menu items. Additionally, the location is in excellent proximity to Ancient Olympia and there is a park just down the block for children. The decor in the room was very dated. Also, the room could have been a little cleaner.

Staff go out of their way to assist and make you feel at home. Concerns are addressed quickly and effectively. They pride themselves as a class above the rest in Greece. Of the 7 hotels we stayed at over a 2 week period, Best Western came out tops!

Everything was very well managed and organised at this hotel!! More Swiss standards than Greek! We booked for 3 nights expecting just to do the Ancient Greece sightseeing thing but ended up staying for a week and also having a wonderful relaxing holiday. Staff are excellent and the joint Managers (brothers) could not have been more helpful. Room was very comfortable with CocoMat beds! The food in the lovely outdoor restaurant was of a very high quality and at a much lower price than you'd expect in this standard of hotel. We will be going back next May and would recommend this holiday to anyone!

The friendly, helpful, professional approach of the owners, Alkiviades and Ernestos, made this special. After a six hour drive over the mountains from Nafplion, I discovered that I had left my passport and all travel documents at our last accommodation. They immediately phoned the hotel and arranged for the documents to be sent by registered mail to our hotel in Athens. I picked them up intact in Athens four days later. Thanks to Europa staff for rescuing my holiday! The hotel was very comfortable, close to local sights and we had a beautiful meal in the garden restaurant with excellent, friendly, respectful service.

The hotel room was very large. We were offered n upgrade to. Junior suite but declined it because the standard room was already so nice. We had dinner in the hotel's outdoor restaurant, looking out over olive groves across to Ancient Olympia. The hotel is on a hillside above the small town and the view at night was beautiful. The food was very good. The breakfast room felt like a mass tourism venue - would have much preferred to have it in the same place we had dinner.

Fabulous stay. We loved the room, the location, the pool and the restaurant. I would say that the restaurant was our favorite place in Greece as most everything came from within 600 yards of the kitchen, including the olive oil.

We had bookind a double bedroom but since we were on our honeymoon, the direction gave us a junior suite which was extremely comfortable, clean,... The staff was very nice and professional The food at the hotel taverna was awful and really expensive. Don't order any dessert on the menu, they are really disguting as was the starters and the main dishes.
