Reviews and Ratings
The Barcelo Emperatriz is a charming hotel with very clean rooms and a generous provision of toiletries. The room lacked a view but was immaculate. The staff was attentive and went the extra mile to assist me and my child. The location is convenient with easy access to the metro and nearby amenities, though not right in the city center. The dining options were limited and overpriced. Overall, a good value for the money.
My stay at Barcelo Emperatriz was a mixed experience. The rooms, although contemporary and stylish with comfortable beds, good air conditioning, and an excellent shower, were much smaller than expected, which was a downside for a 5-star hotel. The service was top-notch, with professional and helpful staff at reception and the breakfast restaurant. The location, although convenient for business in the nice area of Madrid, was far from any restaurants or supermarkets, causing some disturbances. The dining options were tasty, though a bit pricey, offering healthy choices and a good selection on the dinner menu.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were cozy and modern with thoughtful touches, making for a relaxing experience. The service was exceptionally friendly and empathetic, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The location was quiet and elegant, nestled near Embassies, offering a peaceful retreat just a stone's throw from the vibrant center. The dining experience had a good selection, but it was a bit on the expensive side. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing our overall enjoyment.
The hotel is ideally located in the best district of Madrid, surrounded by highly-rated restaurants and coffee shops, a stone's throw away from the famous shopping street Serrano. The rooms are clean and modern, though not up to 5-star standards, and the service is exceptional despite some shortcomings in booking policies. The dining is exquisite with a cozy gym, albeit slightly pricey. An oasis of luxury away from the tourist crowds.
The hotel offers fantastic and very comfortable rooms with all the amenities you could wish for. The service is beyond professional, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is lovely, with many restaurants nearby, and there are nice places to explore around. However, you may need to take public transportation to some parts of the city. The dining experience may not meet all expectations, but the hotel provides great value overall.
The hotel offers well-equipped rooms with a simple luxury feel to suit anyones needs, although somewhat dark. The service is friendly and helpful, with additional thanks for early check-in. The location is excellent for both business and leisure, although not right in the city center. The dining experience is very good with lots of variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor room issues.
