Reviews summary

Emperador draws praise for its rooftop pool which has varying depths but is not heated and closes on New Year's Eve. Many highlight the basic breakfast option that costs €19, though some note the coffee is machine-made and eggs are dry. Guests report noise from housekeeping beginning early and thin room walls. The hotel allows guests to bring their own water bottles to the rooftop pool.
