Nothing worth visiting. I only went here for a quick lunch as it was close to my hotel. The restaurants were average at best and it was noisy with homeless people begging for money and trying to sing (badly) in exchange for money. Dogs walking around randomly peeing on things and birds almost landing on your table. Nothing I'd want... More

Lots of tapas and a great view of Me hotel which lights up in this huge square at night. Its Blue light makes it worth taking your camera, Don't miss it.

On a nice day while visiting Madrid, do yourself a favor and have lunch and drinks at the Plaza de Santa Ana. There are many bar and restaurant options to sit outside and enjoy the Spanish atmosphere and diversity of people. It's relaxing and pure entertainment.

The Plaza Santa Ana is a nice little plaza with many tapas places nearby, most of them with local character and very traditional. The plaza also has the ME Melia, an avant garde hotel wth a very well known bar. There are many traditional shops in the area, such as shops selling clothing material for women who like to sew.

This plaza has great a great atmosphere. Even in the cold of February, everyone was out on the sidewalks eating or having a drink. It felt very safe.

We used to go to the Plaza Sta. Ana just to eat bocadillos outside on the sidewalk, 'cause they were tasty and went down great with a beer or red wine. But it was so noisy! It was under renovation and that and the traffic really detracted....BUT now, renovations are done and it's lovely, really very nice. Our hotel was... More

Fantastik atmosphere and a lot of nice restaurants around. If you want to see all of Madrid you have to get on the roof top of the ME Madrid Reina Victoria Hotel at Plaza St. Ana. This is a great location at night.

This square is centrally located to many of Madrid's attractions, but more importantly has a wide variety of good bars and restaurants to choose. Tapas is available as are a la carte and set menus. The restaurant Tartufo was especially good with very professional and knowledgable staff who spoke perfect English. So many choices around this plaza and it is... More

Our Madriliana friends said it was touristy! but we went once to try all the different bars and tapas around the square and see a different part of Madrid. We were recommended to go during the day time! Enjoyed trying the different beers and wines and tapas....
