Hotel Europa
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking if you need a practical, well-reviewed stop near the ferry port and highway at about half the city median. If you want to walk to the historic sights, it is too far out, and our other two picks score higher.

Hotel Europa is a 3-star hotel with 8.4 out of 10 from 2,386 reviews. Guests say it sits near the hospital and the ferry port, with highway access and supermarkets nearby. That makes it a sensible stop for drivers, ferry passengers and people with hospital visits. Free parking and family rooms are listed, and the listing is tagged as pet-friendly.
It is not the right base for a sightseeing break on foot. The old town sights in our data are close to an hour away. Travellers who want the top guest score in Ancona should look at our other two picks.
Location and getting around
The address is Via Sentino 3. Location scores 8.3 out of 10, mostly for practical reasons: ferry port, highway, hospital and shops.
The Arch of Trajan and the Loggia dei Mercanti are both about 4.7 km away, roughly 59 minutes on foot. Ancona Cathedral is about 5 km, around 63 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, and all three are far. Use public transport, a taxi or your car to reach them.
What guests say
Breakfast is the highlight. Guests describe an abundant buffet with a wide range of sweet and savoury options. The practical location comes second.
Value for money is the main complaint. Room rates are seen as fair for the quality, but guests say parking and dining fees are high. That sits oddly with the free parking listed by the property, so check what applies to your booking. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed.
Price compared with our other Ancona picks
The reference price we saw was €79.60 per night, about €159 for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. That is a reference price for those dates, not a live quote, so check today's price for yours. It was 46% below the sample median of €147.02.
Our Best Value pick, SeeBay Hotel, was €144 per night with 9.1 and 4 stars. Our Luxury pick, Grand Hotel Palace, was €167.20 with 9.2 and 4 stars. You save about €64 to €88 a night here, in exchange for a lower score and a location built for practicality rather than sightseeing.
Breakfast types listed are continental, Italian, gluten-free and buffet. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 eligible hotels in Ancona, and this one ranked 6th on guest score. After setting aside the upscale choice, it had the lowest eligible reference price, which is how our Budget slot works. Over 2,000 reviews at 8.4 make it a safe low-cost choice.
Before you book
Ask the hotel directly whether parking is free for your stay, since guest comments and the listing do not agree. Check whether breakfast is included, and the restaurant's prices if you plan to eat in.
If you are bringing a pet, confirm the policy and any charge. Read the cancellation terms, which we have not assessed.
