I have been thru a few Western European countries myself.  On rare occasions
my passport was taken from me for the nite.  The hotel clerks told me it
was so they could take down info from it; that the police required them
to record the info.  Most of the time, tho, i wasn't asked for, and
didn't show, any id.
