Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors

During the Spanish Civil War, when Madrid was getting bombed, the Hotel Europa kept its doors open. Guests continued to arrive. This 99-room establishment oozes old world charm, with its front cigar lounge (ignore the fact that smoking is no longer allowed in the lounge!), and a scarlet runner leading up the original wooden staircase.

Rooms have had some updates, and now a more modern style has taken over. Windows are double-paned glass, so sleeping above the biggest Plaza in Madrid isn't a problem. Guests will really enjoy the gorgeously renovated bathrooms, which have a spa-like feel.

Superior rooms, which all face the exterior, cost more. These are larger and have stunning views of Plaza Sol, including Tío Pepe, the trademark tequila billboard in Sol. The views alone may be worth the splurge. 

Tip: While nightly room rates can soar above Cheapo-friendly rates, we've found that the further in advance you book, the better deal you'll find. Even booking ahead for peak-season stays will score you some major savings.

Puerta del Sol

The Puerta del Sol is the geographic and historic center of old Madrid. Located within walking distance of most of central Madrid's tourist offerings, it's an obligatory stop for all visitors to Madrid. Calle Mayor, a major commercial and business street, runs to the west of Puerta del Sol, and from the south branch a gaggle of tiny, dense streets packed with tapas bars, restaurants and cafés. Many of Madrid's best hotels are on the Puerta del Sol, while pensions can be found along the side streets.
