Is it common to have a bible at the hotel rooms in Europe as they are very common in the USA and Canada?

I'm shocked that even hotels owned by non-Christians they still put bibles in hotel rooms (even non-brand hotels) in NA.

Talking Bibles in Hotel Rooms

Yes it is common in most Christian Countries to place bibles in the rooms. The Atheist and other religeons are not required to read them in order to sleep in the room though. Whereas in the Arab countries some put you in prison for having one in your possession at any time. Tolerance is a one way street as it is becoming here in America.

Although nobody is arguing the fact that Arabic countries are among the most intolerant in the world (with some exceptions, like Jordan and Oman), I must point out that the only group spewing hate-filled speech on a consistent basis in the U.S happen to be fanatic Christian groups.
Another thing - many countries in Europe are *not* Christian countries. They just happen to have populations that are majority Christian (and sometimes even that is not the case). There is a distinction. The same goes for Canada, btw.

Europe, North America, South America, Oceania, central and southern Africa & parts of Asia are Christian dominant. Europe is a Christian continent.

Despite Vatican lobbying, the EU Treaty does not mention the word "Christian" on any of its 403 pages.
