The staff is outstanding, always there to help We stayed 3 nights, would have stayed 4, but our first time there they were fully booked for the next night. On our return trip we made sure we booked the 2 nights ahead of time. We had started our trip in Budapest where our Viking river cruise began. It was our first time on such a fancy trip. We are Pilgrims at heart, which is why we extended our trip for 3 more weeks. We ended in Amsterdam but took a train to Lourdes, then Bayonne, we were looking to hike an obscure Camino route " Camino del Batzon". It went from Bayonne to Pamplona. After our first day we found how obscure it was, Almost all the hotels had shut down due to lack of pilgrims. Time for plan B, we decided to go directly to Pamplona. We backtracked to Bayonne, then a bus to Pamplona, where our first stay was at this hotel. What a great city and made better by our hosts, so we hiked from Pamplona to Longrona and back. This was our shortest Camino, but I can now say I've been on all 5 of the major ones. Three complete from 2015, over 850 kilometers and 4 credentials We have stayed in Alburques on every Camino, so don't think this is an "Alburque", it's a nice place to re center. So thank you Hotel Campanilla for making everything easy and welcoming of Pilgrims. Buen Camino.

They also brought hot stones out that you could continue to cook your steak on. I can imagine this is traditional, but it was our first experience with this and we really enjoyed it. Everything as quite fresh and the service was better than other restaurants in Madrid. I ordered the cod in tomato sauce. The sauce was on the sweeter side, but very very good nonetheless. It was a hearty portion and I only finished about half of it. We loved this meal and this experience. Highly recommend

First of all the place is stunning, old school Spanish decor but beautiful nonetheless. I wasn't really hungry but the pictures on google looked too good to pass up. Upon sitting down I was presented with a few plates of tapas, some almonds, potato chips and sausages. Of course it's a steakhouse but I went for the tuna loin with plum sauce. Divine. It also came with a large plate of fries. At the end of the meal I was given a bottle of Pedro Ximenez and some Toblerone. Would actually come back to Madrid just for that meal. Loved the service as well, I couldn't even pour myself a glass of water without someone rushing over to handle it for me. Really impeccable from start to finish.

Yes it's 15 minutes from the airport but that's where the attraction ends. Having an early flight out I opted to stay at a property with transportation to the airport. The only problem was that it doesn't commence until 0700. The restaurant is your only food option unless you take a taxi. Normally a non issue however the food is tasteless and quite bad. Half the restaurant has reserved signs on the tables in order to corral customers into a small area. This infuriated many who wandered in. I feel that it may have been due to a two man staff. Disappointed at best

This was an enclosed space with heaters, and was quite comfortable, and it was January. We ate here last night and decided to eat here again tonight. The waiters are prompt, polite and attentive( it was not crowded). The food, incredible! Last night I got the stuffed cuttlefish in squid ink. It was light, delicate, fresh and delicious. My husband got the sirloin steak. Having raised beef in KS, I was very impressed with the quality of the meat. Marbled, juicy and cooked perfectly. Topped off with a dessert cocktail of ice cream, fresh orange juice and orange liquor. No skimping on the liquor Ordering. Beer, we got a tapas of sausage, fried potatoes and grilled okra. Very tasty( especially the okra!) Tonight, we stayed with tapas( starters) and were able to try a couple. The croquettes were very good, rich and lots of Iberian ham insides creamy we also tried a soup of rice, oxtail and mushrooms. Very rich and flavorful. The mushrooms stood out as a star of the dish. Awaiting apple pie for dessert.

We discovered El Txoko, and studied the menu for a while, since my knowledge of Spanish doesn't include many of the words they use (see photo I've uploaded of their English menu). It looked good, so I decided to make the trip to this traditional Basque restaurant (the sit-down side not their attached less formal side, which I didnt look into). The waiter gave me recommendations for dishes that would carry out well, and steered me away from ones that wouldn't, which I appreciated greatly. He also was willing to split an appetizer order, so that I could try the croquettes (with cecina) which my wife doesn't like as much and she could try their fried calamari. I also ordered the revuelto, and the oxtail stuffed peppers. Every thing was tasty and I would order everything but the calamari again (which didn't travel as well as everything else but was still perfectly cooked).

You know the saying, things happen for a reason? Well, I was actually walking the streets half a mile from my hotel to return a wallet that I found in the middle of the street. I tracked the owner (he happens to be a soccer player) down and at first could not find him. More on this later. I walked by El Cuervo and the owner, Luis Miguel, was standing in the doorway. He looked so friendly that I had to go in. I stayed two hours! Most tourists don't stay in Barajas and would never find this place. I am glad I did. First, there is none of that "measured shot from a shot glass crap" at this place. They pour you a real gangster drink. When Luis Miguel poured my drink all I could say was whoa and all I could think was that I'm glad "Baby" wasn't with me at that moment. She definitely would have poured some in a separate glass! Within ten minutes a couple of locals happened by, the owner's wife joined us and we had a party going on. I had an East Harlem flashback of sorts. About every fifteen minutes or so Luis Miguel left and returned with tapas. You name it I had it, from a traditional Spanish omelet, cheese tapas, salami tapas, and ham tapas. Before long everybody at the bar was ordering and sharing. My favorite memory will be Luis Miguel playing music. He has a knack for finding YouTube videos of non-famous folks that make you ask: "Who the hell is that?" I mentioned that my favorite music is Bachata. After that it was "on like hot buttered popcorn." First Omega El Fuerte then Frank Reyes and I thought I was in my own family room where I have been known to "tear the roof of the sucka." I left with a yellow pad full of names of folks I intend to download, directions to the stores that the locals shop in and most of all a great feeling knowing I met new folks who have already emailed me to exchange music. If you are not comfortable traveling off the beaten path or have a jellyfish nature about yourself (for the hip impaired this means you have no backbone or have been called a sissy) you might not venture off to El Cuervo and this would be too bad. This is just a great family pull-up-to-the-bar-and-sit-a-spell place. As for the wallet that brought me to El Cuervo in the first place, on the way home I found number 53 and the player, who shall remain nameless, walked with me to my hotel where I returned his wallet including the Euros that came with it. He was amazed and said when I returned next autumn drinks are on him. I think I'll select El Cuervo!
