Madrid: Hostal Eurosuites?

Does anyone know anything about this place.

I have found only one review on the web and although the person writes a fairly glowing report, he give it an average rating.

Hi Sheryl! First tell us, where in Spain is it? Let me know and I'll add it to your subject line to indicate its city location. Also, do they have a website? If so, please pass it on too. Thanks!

Possibly. Let's see if Sheryl can confirm it's the one in Madrid.

On a tangent .... Sheryl you live in Lowell !!!! The birthplace ( Lupine Road ) of my hero , Jack Kerouac . His novel "On the Road" changed my life !

Sorry for the delay in responding...to my own question to boot...but have been correcting papers for days (I am a professor of Spanish and Italian at UMass Lowell...and I'm not sure what language the students used on their exams!)

The response is that Eurosuites is in Madrid...as JanD mentions. The prices seem reasonable and for a somewhat extended stay, the rooms appear to be somewhat large.
-----------------------------------------
Lowell is also the birthplace of Bette Davis, Olympia Dukakis, Cardinal O'Connor (the 1st American born Cardinal) and the Second Industrial Revolution. On another note, I live around the corner from Kerouac's last house.

Sheryl .. you´re making me very very jealous !! I know that Kerouac played football for UMass Lowell and wrote about it in his book " The vanity of Duluoz " . Bette Davis was great . Olympia Dukakis is wonderful ... I loved her playing Mrs Madrigal in "Tales of the City " !
Wow !!! you teach Spanish and Italian .. that´s impressive !

And who could forget Bette Davis in Mr. Skeffington (or for that matter, anything!) Her house, painted a totally atrocious combination of colors (hot pink and green) is within walking distance of my house.
Did you know that she refused to tell people that she was from Lowell? She preferred to say that she was from Boston!...Lowell was (and for that matter... still is) a working class immigrant city.

As for the teaching...well today I finished my civilization class (mind you...advanced Spanish majors) telling them about Juana la Beltraneja...and their first question?...was that Juana la Loca? They have no idea who either is...but just assume that any Juana I mention from the Middle Ages (for them that means anything over two hundred years ago) is La Loca...(even though Juana la loca pertained to the era of the early Renaissance).

A few weeks ago, in discussing the Spanish Inquisition, I mentioned that it was started in 1476 and that it was controlled by the Domincan branch of the Catholic Church. My students from La Republica Domincana got insulted...asking what they had to do with the Spanish inquisition. Of course, I looked at them with bewilderment until I understood what they were thinking and asking. I then explained that they didn't have anything to do with the inquisition, but they insisted that Dominicans are from the island. Ultimately, once they let me get a word in edge wise, I explained that I was talking about the Catholic Church and that 1476 was still way before the age of Columbus and therefore before their discovery...they did not seem to understand.

By the way, Mel Brook's History of the World part I deals with this horrific moment in history the best I ever seen within a span of 8 1/2 minutes and explains clearly the time, fear and horrors. (Torquemada...Torquemada...you can't talkhimoutta nada!)

Hi again, Sheryl! Glad you're back. I was hoping you could clarify the location of the "hostal" in question. Is it, in fact, the one in Madrid or was it the one in Cádiz? Please let us know so I can edit your subject line to include the location. Thanks!

The Eurosuites about which I am inquiring is the one in Madrid.

Sheryl

Thanks! I'll update the subject line in your original posting.

This place must be nearly brand new as I've never heard of it nor seen their website before, and also probably the reason why you haven't found more than one review.

If you do choose to stay there, it'd be great if YOU could post your review of the place here on our message board. Thanks!

"they didn't have anything to do with the inquisition, but they insisted that Dominicans are from the island "

Well that was funny, and could be confusing to the non history amateur.
the hostaleurosuites have seen when I was looking for a place back in january but didnt see much written on it.
