My reaction to the Europa Terme (ET) is maybe not the fairest. I was in Abano Terme for a 5 day professional conference. The conference hotel was full, so I looked for a reasonably priced hotel within walking distance of the conference hotel. The ET served my purpose - a reasonably priced hotel with all of the required facilities in downtown Abano Terme. The ET is not a modern hotel - it is a traditional hotel. Everything worked well, from the internet to the air conditioning. It is just not new. The staff was friendly and the provided breakfast was excellent. That said, the ET is not a business hotel. It is a spa-hotel that caters to Italian senior citizen tour groups. There is a big swimming pool, thermal baths, a spa, messages - all of which you pay extra for. There is a fixed price lunch and dinner, which seemed a bit pricy and so I did not partake. I also did not take advantage of any of the spa facilities and so cannot comment on them. The other guests seemed to be enjoying them and they came to the ET for the spa experience. If you are looking for a spa-thermal bath springs experience in Abano Terme, the ET seems to be a good place to go. If you are looking for a business business trip hotel, you might want to look elsewhere. Downtown Abano seems to have no convenience stores or small markets. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the ET. However, it is a 15-20 minute walk to reach a real market or convenience store.
