Expert reviews
“The chief recommendation at The Emperador, certainly in the summer, would be the roof-top swimming pool. There’s a bar up there, too, and captivating 360-degree views of the Spanish capital.”

Three days in Madrid!
The location was located to bus stops, restaurants, theater and much more. The hotel was nicely kept. The staff were polite and with a vast experience. But, overall super friendly.
They need to put hooks in bathroom.

The location was perfect, everything that we wanted to do was within walking distance. The staff were very friendly and helpful and even went out of their way when we asked for a room change, The hotel was spotless clean throughout and it has to be the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Nicely decorated for Christmas as well.

One more very enjoyable stay among ‘friends’.
We’ve been going to this same hotel, every year, for many years now. Its situated ideally situated in Gran Via in central Madrid. The staff is exceptional and very professional.
Very little to say really, possibly an improvement in the quality and selection of their buffet breakfast food,

The location is absolutely unbeatable, right in the heart of Gran Vía—the very center of Madrid. From here, you can easily walk to many of the city's major attractions, and if needed, public transportation is incredibly convenient, with bus stops just steps from the entrance. The room was spacious and featured high ceilings, which added to its airy, open feel. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast—delicious, with a wide variety of options to suit all tastes. I truly enjoyed starting my mornings here. Highly recommended!

unbeatable location for shopping theatres & easy commute out for day trips out of Madrids
Location is spot on perfect for shopping & theatres along Gran Via. Metro at doorstep gives connectivity to everywhere. Easy to hail taxi too.
mattress is not comfortable, any movement in bed by one is felt easily by the other. 2 single beds would be fine if location is most important criteria

Lovely hotel, excellent location, would recommend for a city break
Location was fantastic, close to shops, metro, restaurants, etc. Room was very nice, lovely view. Rooftop bar was really nice especially as sun was shining when we arrived. Inside the hotel was very quiet and calm despite it being really busy outside, really liked that aspect of my stay. Staff were pleasant.
Shower pressure wasn't great, difficult to have a decent shower.

Convenient location and nice enough for a short stay in Madrid
Great location and easy to use the Metro just outside to get around the city. The room was spacious
The rooms are a little tired and rhetorical bed was 2 singles pushed together but still made up as singles not a double.

A timeless icon in Madrid's hospitality

Great location ideal for a short stay . Fantastic facilities and spectacular views
Lovely spacious room. Cleaned every day . Fantastic pool area with lovely terrace/ bar area. Plenty sun loungers . Amazing view over the city.
Sometimes took a while to be served in the terrace . Drinks slightly pricey too , but view makes up for it . Didn’t like having to wear a wrist band which is stuck on you for duration of stay if you use swimming pool area.

comfortable hotel, good location
comfy beds, nice decor, having tea making facilities in room. Good air con not noisy. Good location for seeing sights
We think there was a problem with the waste traps in bathroom, as clearly when someone flush toilet elsewhere, the seal was lost in our bathroom, emitting a drain smell

Beautiful and spacious rooms in the centre of Madrid
Beautiful rooms - large, spacious with lovely touches and facilities. Excellent bathroom - with shower and bathtub. Lovely breakfast with a good selection of food. In the centre of Madrid, just off Gran Via, and next to a Metro station and the room was very quiet despite being on a busy road. Highly recommended.
Staff in the swimming area/bar not particularly responsive/helpful.

A very nice location in the heart of Madrid.
The location of the hotel is excellent, on the Gran Via, surrounded by shops and restaurants. The lobby is very nice and our room was ready 1 hour before check-in time. The bathroom is comfortable, the bath/shower combo was great.
The bathroom window did not close well, and neither did the room's window that was looking over the rear of the hotel, where there were a large number of fans (possibly of ventilation / air conditioning extractors) that hummed all night. Also the walls of the rooms are quite thin, I heard someone in a nearby room coughing all night long, so you can assume you are also being heard by your neighbours.
