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.”

Loved the location of this hotel! Excellent for shopping and walkable to all the main attractions in Madrid. Staff went above and beyond by letting us in our room early due to my daughter getting sick on the car ride from the airport! Rooftop bar is a must see as well.

Amazing 5 night stay in an amazing city!
This property is fabulous! It has a gorgeous lobby with friendly staff. The rooftop pool area was under renovations, but the rooftop bar was open and the views were incredible! Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Our twin room was huge. It is one of the biggest twin rooms I have had in Europe. It was equipped with hotel slippers and robes. The bathroom and shower were huge by European standards. The huge closet was a bonus. We had city views of Gran Via, which was bustling all night but the noise was not a problem with the windows left open. It is conveniently located near many Metro stations, restaurants and wonderful shopping! We did a Viator day trip and the pick up was literally around the corner from the hotel. I highly recommend Madrid and this hotel. The location was awesome for our 5 day itinerary!
Nothing, all wonderful!

Hotel Emperador has a great location - no match! Located in Centro, the hotel provides access to all major tourist spots in Madrid.
The hotel rooms were a bit run down and could have been cleaner. The linen had marks. Notwithstanding, the location advantage stands!
