Hotel Emperador, Madrid

Calle Gran Vía, 53, 28013 Madrid, Spain (show on map)

Expert reviews

CNN review:

“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.”

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.

Very good

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.

Loved how friendly and helpful all the staff was. We sat in the bar at the end of every day and enjoyed looking out the windows to the crowds passing by. Also, the food was delicious. Hotel was in a perfect location.

I would stay again but only if it was on level 7 and had a window over looking the street

The location

The first room we was given on floor 7 was not to how standards so we had to move to another room but the floor was to noisy on level two too much coming and going from the staff cleaners we was in 216.It felt like their cleaning room was next door did not clean the room one day when we asked the guy on reception that our room had not been cleaned it was my birthday on the 28th and also the window there was no natural daylight coming through because he’s overlooked by another block the floor level was always cold and there was a unpleasant smell

Excellent Hotel

The room was very spacious and the breakfast excellent. The hotel is on Gran Via next to metro stop Santo Domingo. The center of the city is only a few minutes walk. If you want to go to another city of Spain, like Toledo, just to let you know that you need to prebook the train ticket from the day before.

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.

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.
