PROs: Great location, walkable to most tourist spots CONs: Small room, spotty internet, poor breakfast selection The Emperador (Madrid) is in a great location. Very close to shops and a short walk to Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor (although this is a very walkable city regardless of hotel location). Good value for the price; however, there are trade-offs (see... More

Room was quite adequate, enough space etc..not luxury but just fine for me. The gym ? ... rubbish. Highlights: Staff..very very good! Location: Excelllent: Roof top pool, again not luxury but a very nice feature with cool views and comfortable loungers. This is not a luxury hotel, but staff and pool make it above average. I will stay here again... More

Spent 3 days in Madrid. Wanted a location that we could walk or take public transportation from. This fits the bill. Found it difficult in Madrid to find that many people that wanted to talk to English speakers. Hotel inclueded. Breakfast was ample, room was of standard size with all the ammenities. All and all it was a pleasant stay. More

Stayed three nights in November at the Hotel Emperador. We stayed in one of the suites on the sixth floor, with fantastic views of the Grand Via. The suite was well furnished, maybe some old furniture. In need of upgrading. The beds were very comfortable. Service at hotel was not so good. We had booked a romantic weekend packages, cava...

I had the pleasure to check in the Emperador last August, for four nights. Although it does not respond to the criteria for a Palace, this hotel certainly delivers high-level amenities and services. On the pros, I would rank the rooftop pool & garden & bar as THE plus to have. It was defining in my choice for booking at... More

Hotel Emperador is easily accessable by the metro from the airport and only having to change once - well worth checking to arrive by the metro as the hotel is then a 2 min walk from the metro! €2 compared to €36 in a taxi! The hotel is well maintained, the staff were very helpful and happy to recommend places... More

This is NOT a luxury hotel, it just offers some luxuries which you wouldn't expect. The rooms are a bit basic, but big enough, especially the bathroom it was lovely and big. The two amazing selling points about this hotel are the location (on the gran via, close to everything), and secondly the upstairs area with pool and sun lounges.... More

Hotel Emperador is in Gran Via, walking distance to Plaza Mayor and other good places to eat and have drinks. Good bar services and very good restaurant. Their meeting facilities are very helpful for conferences and business. I have just one observation: they dont have standard rooms, i.e. if your got a bad room, ask them for a better one!... More

I had a great stay, mostly down to the location and the pool. The rooms were quite average, if not below average. Old fashioned but without the charm. The hotel is in an excellent location, within walking distance to everything you need and everywhere you need to go. There's a great pool on the rooftop, overlooking the royal palace (if... More
