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.”

Enjoyed my stay.
Breakfast was OK. Spread was standard as expected in such properties. They allowed us to check-in early which is rare these days.
Would have preferred a room in the higher floors. (Was given room no 124).

Great pool area, outdated rooms
I chose this hotel because of the great pool area and it didn't let me down. I also enjoyed the breakfast. AC was working well. This hotel has a wonderful location and nice staff.
The smell in the room was absolutely horrible. The bathroom wasn't clean when I arrived. My room was quite small and you could hear noises from the hallway. The TV was very small.

We enjoyed our brief stay in Madrid and Emperador was a great Hotel.
Very central location. Easy walking in and around city center. The room was very comfortable with a very nice shower! The roof top pool and bar were something we used each night with a great nighttime view of the city. Starbucks across the street along with a BBVA bank for currency exchange.
No issues.

It was all fine

The hotel is ideally located for seeing all the attractions on foot.
The hotel is ideally located for sightseeing all that Madrid has to offer. The roof top bar and pool is excellent and gives you an perfect view of Madrid. The room allocated for our stay was ideal.
There was noise coming from a nearby bar/club which was a disturbing and lasted until midnight.

Great location, right in the centre of Madrid
Location of the hotel was fantastic, everything we wanted to visit was within easy reach either by walking or by using the underground
The price of breakfast seemed very expensive at 19 euro per person, we walked just along the road to a coffee shop and spent 6 euro for coffee and croissants for two people.

A great spot for 3 days in Madrid
Amazing location, close to everything you need such as all local monuments, several metro stations within 5 mins walk. Shops and restaurants close by and right on the gran via. Window looked out to the gran via. Very comfortable bed. Very clean. Roof top area is very nice.
Room had tea but no kettle. No iron in room. No full length mirror. Shower was a nightmare to use, leaking and loose. A lot of noise from other rooms, doors slamming. Elevators are slow and small.

A comfortable stay on the Gran Via
It is centrally located, close to transportation, restaurants, historical sites. The room was quiet, clean, and had a coffee machine and a refrigerator. They had a complimentary bottle of water the first day. It would have been nice to have a bottle of water every day.
The water pipes may be old, as the hot water in the bathroom sink had a strange color. The cold water was less affected, but enough not to want to use it for the morning coffee.
