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.”

Great location
Great location. Room was a bit tired, some lights in the bathroom not working and no shaving mirror or mirror in the bedroom. Comfy bed though. The rooftop bar was good with a decent menu.

Beautiful hotel in a perfect location
Breakfast buffet is very good, even has vegan and gluten free options. The hotel is very nice and clean. The rooms are comfortable and also cleaned well. There is a beautiful roof terrace and small but adequate gym.

The location in the heart of everything Royal palace, Mayor plaza, and peurdo del sol are only 8 min. Walking distance. Down to the hotel there is a variety of restaurants and shopping. There is no need to rent a car.
All is good

Very happy to chose the Emperador for our Madrid visit.
Great central location, most of the "must-see" sites within 10 -15 minutes walk. Everything in the hotel was sparkling clean, and luxurious and had this flavor of the Grand Hotels of the past. Very good breakfast and the rooftop bar with an amazing view of Madrid.

A great hotel for tourists in Madrid
The hotel is located very close to places to see in Madrid and on a very lively street. We walked almost everywhere easily. The room was very quiet and comfortable. If I travel to Madrid again I will definitely stay here

Perfect location to enjoy a long weekend in Madrid
Right in the centre for theatre, to sightsee and shop !
My only criticism would be the mattress, it needed replacing as completely lost its support.

29 January 2025
Overall it was a good stay at a great location. Really enjoyed the lobby downstairs -it was relaxing
The breakfast could have a better fare and atleast a change every alternate day. Hot breakfast served should be communicated to guests as there was no communication of that at all. We happened to stumble upon it.
Th front desk staff could have been friendlier and helpful Additionally a very strange incident occurred in our room. Post a shower the vapour in the room created a sign on the bathroom mirror which read ‘HELLO’ in capital letters which spooked the daylight’s out of us as once the vapour vanished so did the sign. Yet get the chills when I think about it.

I would go back.
It was in the centre, fabulous lobby and sky bar, rooms were clean.
We didn’t get much sleep. We were in an interlocking room and unfortunately the guests next door had their tv on so loud until 2am it kept us awake. There was just too much noise in between rooms.

The location, perfect forr theatre land/shopping/Metro access. Most of the staff multi lingual and all very helpful and courteous
The room was adequate but a little odd for property of this stature. Bedroom, comfortable but heating system poor. Apart from bed, no table, no mirror in room with nowhere to place personal items except inside wardrobe. Same comment for bathroom with no shelf for toiletries. Strangest of all...no bidet.
