We came here and they were immediately very accommodating to our group size. The Tapas are actually quite large and made for sharing. I think we over ordered on a lot as we thought the sizes were smaller. Overall everyone enjoyed their dishes. I can't find their menu so I can list exactly what we ate there.

Okay minus one for the extremely slow moving elevators but the room was really nice, service was excellent, and the breakfast was chefs kiss! The room was decked out in a beautiful gold with a sofa, table, and spacious bed. Amenities included WiFi, complimentary shoe cleaning, and glass bottles of water daily. The outside view was nice (top of the palace or something), bathroom was spacious with complimentary body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, and lotion. There is a coffee machine in the room as well as a small fridge with drinks and snacks priced per item. They had 2 robes in the room, velvet clothing hangers, and the softest room slippers. They have an awesome breakfast buffet, which cost 45 euros each day or about 30 euros if you pay for all days of your stay. The breakfast although stayed the same every day, were all healthy and fresh ingredients from creamy scrambled eggs, thinly sliced jamon and Manchego cheese, to fresh fruits, fresh juices, buttery croissants, fresh honey comb, pancakes, churros, and make your own omelet station. Also right across the street is the famous Prado Museum and The Cooking Clubhouse cooking class. Their service was excellent helping me load-in and load-out my luggage and there's even an indoor lounge and bar. Would come back 10/10, Salud!! :))

They just want to meet American's tastes, even serving grapes( which I never come cross in 5-stars hotels in EU).

Btw, it's bathroom design is also tasteless

I had to send my luggage down the elevator and I had to chase it down the steps. AC works great in the room and it's very quiet despite being so close to a major street in the city. The buffet feels a bit short on variety and it's much better to head out into the city to find a place for breakfast, they have an amazing Espresso Machine in the lobby that was my daily for caffeine (about 1 Euro) but worth every Euro! Water is also for sale in the lobby, ask for EU Plug adapters in as the provide free of charge to borrow when I went on my trip. (Spanish) Habitaciones pequeñas pero con una vista increíble, el hecho de que el ascensor sea pequeño hizo difícil transportar el equipaje a través del edificio. Tuve que enviar mi equipaje por el ascensor y tuve que perseguirlo por los escalones. El aire acondicionado funciona muy bien en la habitación y es muy tranquilo a pesar de estar tan cerca de una calle importante de la ciudad. El buffet es un poco escaso en cuanto a variedad y es mucho mejor salir a la ciudad para encontrar un lugar para desayunar, tienen una increíble máquina de espresso en el vestíbulo que era mi cafeína diaria (alrededor de 1 euro) ¡pero vale la pena por cada euro! El agua también está a la venta en el vestíbulo, solicite los adaptadores de enchufe de la UE para que me los presten gratuitamente cuando salí de viaje.

Double room with two comfortable twin beds and bathroom. The room faced the Calle de Anocha side. Very little car traffic on this small street. Small TV, but who's in Madrid to watch TV anyway? In room safe. Heavy curtains that kept out all the morning light. The hotel is on the southeast corner of the Plaza Santa Cruz. This plaza is nice and quiet. A couple restaurants, hostales, a bank, and a government building anchor this small square. Makes for a relatively quiet evening. Located 1 block from Plaza Mayor, 2 blocks from Puerta del Sol, and maybe a 15 min walk to El Prado. Its really got a great central location. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Free-wifi too. Sometimes it wouldnt work so great in our room, but there was a little couch area outside our room where it would work just fine on those occasions.

Extremely happy with this hotel!!…read more Fair to say that there are better hotels, but for which you have to pay more money. Which is exactly the reason why this place gets my 4 stars. For the money that you pay in the location it is, you can't wish for more. Very tempted to actually give this place 5 stars ... Where's that 1/2 star when you need it? ;) The location for this little gem can't get any better, located right in the heart of Madrid's tapas district: La Latina. The reception is located together with the bar, which may be a little confusing for some, but the service is so welcoming and friendly, that it poses absolutely no problems. You are not only welcomed with a smile, but a welcome drink, which is exactly what you need/want when you just arrive somewhere. The bar is also welcoming and well furnished with a homely feeling The room wasn't massive, but furnished with very modern and chic decor giving it a very funky upmarket feeling. The bathroom was also very modernly decked out. More space was given to the bathroom than around the bed, which I appreciated. The shower was also a walk in jobby, not one of these bath/shower combos which I have no time for (having no kids mind you). We had a room with balcony facing the street which was just perfect. Fair to say that come morning there was a fair bit of noise with rubbish trucks and the like waking us up, but to me this only added to the charm of the place. Experiencing the hustle and bustle of a city is exactly the reason I travel to such place .... Others I'm sure would not agree. Very nicely furnished (rooms, bar, restaurant etc.), sweet location, friendly service. What more could you want? Highly recommended!!

And after a 3 hour train…read moreride and a rude cab driver, the smiling, friendly hostess who offered to check us in while we sat down and enjoyed free beer/wine and olives was much appreciated. The hotel is right on the popular Cava Baja road, where there is no shortage of tapas restaurants and boisterous, young night lifers spilling out of bars and restaurants and into the street from sundown to well in the morning. The hotel's own entire first floor is a restaurant, with an open-roof courtyard of tables. This sounds nice but presents a problem as the rooms surround this courtyard on the above floors. The noise wasn't *horrible* but it was definitely noticeable - talking, chatting, clinking, laughing - until midnight or so. The rooms are small but with good use of space. My sister and I shared a room, and the lack of mirror of any kind outside the bathroom made it hard for two of us to get ready at once. Also, the bathroom is a sliding glass door with frosted glass, so I don't recommend this for non-couple sharers or those who don't know each other really well. The breakfast buffet was €12, which seemed a bit steep for a breakfast, but the fresh juice and croissants looked tasty. The location was excellent -- we could walk to Mercado San Miguel, Plaza Mayor, Sabatini Gardens, and walking to Museo del Prado and the Reina Sofia was do-able if you wished.

Our double room was spacious and comfortable, with a fully equipped bathroom, a small desk and a decent amount of storage space. And while our windows overlooked the bustling plaza, they were thick enough to block out the street noise four flights below. Service was outstanding throughout our stay, and the hotel restaurant was a great place to grab a coffee and pastry before setting out on the day's adventure. And from Hotel Europa, you can get almost anywhere in Madrid either on foot or by Metro, which has a main station steps away from the hotel entrance. Plaza Mayor and the Gran Via are each about a 10-minute walk, and the Royal Palace and Prado Museum are each less than 20 minutes. The busy Puerta del Sol has dozens of restaurants and cafes, and the massive El Corte Ingles shopping mall is conveniently located around the corner We were completely satisfied with our stay at Hotel Europa. It's an unbeatable location from which to discover Madrid, at a rate that's far better than some of the city's more upscale chains. We'll be sure to book here whenever we visit the Spanish capital.
