Who This Residence Suits (and Who Might Look Elsewhere)
HAB 28051 is a branded independent student house located in Getafe, a district in the southern part of the Madrid metropolitan area. Listed under the XIOR brand (as referenced in reviews), it operates as a purpose-built student accommodation with a dedicated management team. The property suits students who prioritise security, modern facilities, and a supportive community environment over absolute budget savings. It is less ideal for those seeking the cheapest possible rent or who prefer a more autonomous, non-branded housing setup.
Suits:
- Students who value on-site amenities: The residence features a swimming pool, a gym, and laundry facilities. For tenants who would otherwise pay for external gym memberships or laundrettes, these inclusions add convenience and potential savings.
- First-time international students or parents of studying abroad: Reviews from parents (see below) highlight the staff’s reassuring approach, making this a good pick for those who want a managed, secure transition to living in Madrid.
- Those willing to commit to a six-month minimum lease: The required lease term is six months, which fits a single semester or a full academic year. Shorter stays are not available here.
- Solo occupants preferring a one-bedroom unit: The unit type listed is “1b” (likely a one-bedroom apartment) within a larger branded house. This gives private living space while still being part of a managed residence.
May not suit:
- Budget-constrained students: The property’s price is not publicly listed, but the cheapest student property in Getafe starts from around €232 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Branded residences like XIOR typically charge a premium for facilities and services. If you are trying to minimise rent, you may find cheaper shared flats or older private rooms in the area.
- Students wanting a short stay (less than six months): The minimum lease of six months may rule out exchange programmes or summer-only enrolments that are shorter.
- People who dislike communal management rules: Branded student housing often has policies on guests, noise, and common area use. Those accustomed to independent renting might find these restrictive.
What Residents Actually Say
The property has a Google rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 232 reviews. Below are three verbatim extracts — note that the residence is referred to as “XIOR Student Housing” or “Xior” in these texts.
Jemag 2731 (5/5):
“Staying at XIOR Student Housing has been one of the highlights of my academic year. The building is modern, secure, and very well located (one of the best neighborhoods in Madrid). The rooms are bright, comfortable, and equipped with everything a student could ask for. What really stood out to me, though, was the atmos”

Beck D (5/5):
“I stayed at the Xior for a semester and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay in Madrid! Unbeatable location and very friendly people always willing to help. I’d definitely be back for another semester if I could.”

Anas Sadqane (5/5):
“My daughter lives has been living at this residence for about 8 months now and she absolutely loves it. We were originally hesitant for our daughter to go abroad. However, XIOR has an amazing staff and they reassured us. The residence is really well located and it was relatively easy for us to get to her when we visite”
Common themes across reviews: modern and secure building, helpful staff, and a location that residents consider excellent. The parent review underscores the reassurance factor for families of students moving abroad. All three cited reviews are five-star with no negative remarks, but they come from a sample of 232 reviews, so a small number of lower ratings may exist.
Price Positioning and Value
No specific price for HAB 28051 is published in the available data. For context, the cheapest student property listed in Getafe starts at €232 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Given this residence is a branded independent house with a swimming pool, gym, and laundry facilities, its monthly rent is likely above that floor. Students should expect to pay a premium for the amenities and management services.
The deposit amount is also not stated in the data; you will need to confirm this directly with the operator when booking. Rent is quoted monthly (price_duration: monthly). Because prices are indicative and can change based on room type, length of stay, and early-booking discounts, always verify the current figure with the provider before signing.
Room Types and Guidance
The unit types available are:
- 1b: Likely a one-bedroom apartment (private bedroom, private bathroom, and a kitchen or kitchenette).
- Branded_independent_house: The property is part of a larger residence that operates under a brand name (XIOR) but functions as an independent house with its own management.
If you need complete privacy and a self-contained living space, the “1b” option is appropriate. If you are open to sharing some common areas with other residents within the same branded building, confirm whether the “1b” is the only unit type or if other configurations exist — the data only lists these two tags.
The residence is available from 19 December 2026. Given the six-month minimum lease, the earliest move-in date would be late December 2026, which suits students starting a second-semester programme in January 2027. For those starting in September 2026, this property would not be available until after Christmas.
Booking Timing
As of the data date (July 2026), the residence is not yet available — it opens for occupancy in December 2026. This gives prospective tenants about five months to plan. Branded student housing in Madrid often sees early demand for units with desirable features (e.g., swimming pool). To secure a room, it would be prudent to inquire in the months leading up to October or November 2026.
Because no current price is listed, early contact with the operator may also give you access to any early-booking rates. Conversely, if you wait until December, availability may be limited, particularly for single-bedroom units.
