I found Hotel Europa to be quite charming in certain aspects, but there were also some drawbacks like finding someone else's belongings in the room. The hotel is located right on top of Columbus street, in front of China town, and walking distance from great restaurants, which was a big plus. However, the partying atmosphere in the area might not be suitable for everyone.

The hotel's location was the only thing to look forward to, being close to San Francisco Downtown with lots of good restaurants around. The rooms weren't especially clean but passable, advertised as having cable TV on a lean with a shared bathroom. The dining experience would be fine to offer with juice, coffee, and tea, though couldn't get a hold of the front desk, and there was music all night. The hotel is close to Fisherman's Wharf and within walking distance of most things.
