The staff is always friendly, the hotel is clean, and the location couldn’t be more convenient. I’ve stayed here three or four times now. It’s an older property—probably built in the mid-70s—so it’s not the Ritz, but it’s comfortable and well-kept. If you’re looking for a nice, safe, and clean place to stay with easy beach access, this is a great choice. You can walk right out the back door, through the beach entrance, and have your toes in the sand within moments. We always enjoy our visits and look forward to returning again soon.

Great view on a budget

This hotel is exactly what to expect from the description. The main draw is beach front access and being in the heart of Zona Romantica, but the rooms are pretty sparse and outdated....but you're too busy to notice that because of the view. The appliances in the kitchenette have seen better days, the bathroom was cramped, and internet was often spotty but Service was fine; front desk wasn't terribly friendly but my housekeeper Isabela kept my room fresh and tidy every day. I was sent some flowers during my stay, but they didn't come with a vase. I put them in a sad container, but during she went ahead and arranged them into a vase from the hotel. Such a great personal touch! I talked to some other guests during my 8 night stay and based on that would stay clear of

great location

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is fantastic—walking distance to plenty of restaurants and just steps from the pier, where you can catch a water taxi or boat tour. There’s even a grocery store right across the street, which was very convenient. The customer service team was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only downside was the internet connection, which was quite slow and unreliable at times. Other than that, everything else was great, and we’d happily stay here again.

Great location, staff was very attentive and friendly, the rooms were OK, the building is definitely older and has outdated electrical sockets, and very few at that….We liked the fact that it had a full kitchen, but we did not utilize the kitchen as it was out on the balcony, and the AC unit, which is placed in the kitchen, was blowing out hot air (directly into the kitchen) the entire time you’re running the AC, which made it very hot to cook and enjoy. The staff did try to accommodate us with a similar room, however, all of the rooms have this type of set up that we were shown. Otherwise, our room was comfortable.
View from our room on the 4th floor.
Beautiful view.

Great stay

This is my third time staying at El Emperador and it’s been great. The manager Gervacio and the staff are amazing. You’re literally 30 feet from the beach and walking distance from a ton of restaurants & bars. If you stay there get a junior suite or higher as those have excellent views and are more spacious.
