Overview
SPC 28011 is a student residence located in Getafe, a municipality about 13 km south of central Madrid. It offers shared flats (2‑bedroom up to 8‑bedroom and a “greater than 8‑bedroom” type) as well as what the listing describes as “branded independent houses”. The residence provides WiFi and laundry facilities. Minimum lease is 4 months. Monthly prices run from €555 to €1,525. These are indicative — confirm with the operator.
The property has a Google rating of 2.1 based on 20 reviews. This is a low score that suggests significant service or condition issues, though a handful of positive reviews exist. The city of Getafe has 97 student‑housing listings on the platform, with the cheapest option starting at €232 per month. SPC 28011’s starting price is more than double that, so it sits at the higher end of the market in Getafe.
Who This Residence Suits
Students who need a fixed‑lease term of 4 months or longer. The minimum lease is 4 months, which is relatively short compared to many full‑academic‑year contracts. This could work for exchange students or those who only need a semester‑long stay.
Residents who prioritise quietness. One Google reviewer (Valeria Bocca, 5‑star) wrote: “Quiet! Excellent location. The hotel is under renovation, so you can see that some finishing touches are missing and that people are working during the day. But very good and, above all, quiet! That’s priceless! The amenities work very well, hot water and good water pressure. Powerful hairdryer (room 208). Highly recom” – the review appears truncated. This indicates that at least during her stay, the property was quiet and functional.
Large groups of friends who want to share a flat. With unit types ranging from 2‑bedroom to 8‑bedroom and even “greater than 8‑bedroom”, the residence can accommodate bigger house shares. If you are organising a group of 6‑8 people, SPC 28011 may have a single flat that fits everyone.
Students studying in Getafe or the southern Madrid area. Getafe is home to Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Getafe campus) and several other institutions. If your classes are nearby, the location avoids the longer commute from central Madrid.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
Anyone on a tight budget. Getafe’s cheapest student listing starts at €232 per month. SPC 28011 starts at €555. That is a 139% premium. Even the top end (€1,525) is far above the city entry‑level price. If your budget is under €500, this residence is not an option.
Students who expect responsive maintenance and clear contact channels. The most‑detailed review (Ana Jovanovic, 1‑star) says: “Absolute disaster, they have no contact information so whatever is wrong in your room you have no one to talk to, the room is cold and you won’t have warm water to take a shower, rooms look like prison cells, don’t book this!!” This suggests that dealing with issues can be frustrating. Another 1‑star review by Mari Carmen Dueñas Gomez describes booking a flat with a promised sofa bed but finding “a hard bench, without legs, resting directly on the floor, which can hardly be considered a bed or a sofa”. She says the management offered no immediate solution. If you value reliable service, you may prefer a residence with a stronger reputation.
People who want newly finished interiors. The positive review mentions “the hotel is under renovation, so you can see that some finishing touches are missing”. The negative reviews describe prison‑like rooms and a non‑functional sofa bed. The property may not look like the marketing photos until renovations are fully completed.
Those seeking a mainstream student residence with common areas and community events. The listing’s tags only include WiFi and laundry facility. There is no mention of a gym, study room, cinema, or social programme. If you want an all‑inclusive experience with extra amenities, this may feel bare‑bones.
What Residents Actually Say

“We booked this accommodation because it offered a sofa bed, but upon arrival, we found something completely different: a hard bench, without legs, resting directly on the floor, which can hardly be considered a bed or a sofa (see photo). When we reported the problem, they didn’t offer any immediate solution. After a jo” (The review seems cut off.)
The split is 2 very negative vs 1 positive. The positive review concedes that the property is under renovation and not perfectly finished. The negative reviews highlight poor communication, cold rooms, lack of promised furniture, and uncomfortable living conditions. The overall Google rating of 2.1 suggests this is not an isolated pattern.
Price Positioning vs. the City’s From-Price
Getafe’s lowest student‑housing listing on the platform is €232 per month. SPC 28011 starts at €555. That makes it roughly 2.4 times the entry price. The maximum price of €1,525 is among the highest in Getafe – likely for a large flat or a premium unit. For context, many student residences in the suburbs of Madrid start around €350–€500. SPC 28011’s baseline is above that range, so you are paying a premium without the premium service that reviews would suggest.
All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator.
Room‑Type Guidance
The residence lists the following unit types: 2‑bedroom, 3‑bedroom, 4‑bedroom, 5‑bedroom, 8‑bedroom, “greater than 8‑bedroom”, and “branded independent house”. The last category probably refers to a self‑contained apartment (maybe a small house) branded under the operator’s name.
If you want more privacy, the 2‑bedroom or 3‑bedroom flats will have fewer flatmates. However, the rent per person may still be high. For maximum affordability, look at the larger configurations (8‑bedroom or more), but expect less personal space.
Note that the negative review about the sofa bed suggests that the listed furniture may not match reality. Confirm room layout and condition directly with the operator before booking.
Booking Timing Considerations
Minimum lease is 4 months. There is no “available from” date in the data, so you should contact the operator for current move‑in dates.
Given the mixed reviews and low rating, it is wise to book only after you have seen the exact unit (virtually or in person) and confirmed that all advertised features exist. If the renovation is still ongoing, expect some disruption during the day (as the positive review mentions workers). Consider waiting until after the renovation is complete, if that is important to you.
For September 2026 or January 2027 intake, start your search early (spring 2026 for September, autumn 2026 for January) because Getafe has 97 listings – competition may be moderate. But with only 20 Google reviews, this residence does not appear to be a high‑demand property, so last‑minute availability is possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
H3: How do I contact the residence management?
The data does not provide a phone number or email. One reviewer states there is “no contact information”. You can try reaching the operator through the booking platform’s messaging system. If you are already in Getafe, it may be best to visit the address in person before signing.
H3: Is the price all‑inclusive or are bills extra?
The listing does not specify what is included. Tags only mention WiFi and laundry facility. You should ask the operator whether water, electricity, gas, and internet are covered in the monthly rent, or if there are separate charges. The price range €555–€1,525 is indicative only — confirm with the operator.
H3: Can I get a refund if the room is not as described?
The 1‑star review by Mari Carmen Dueñas Gomez indicates that when she reported a misrepresented sofa bed, “they didn’t offer any immediate solution”. There is no mention of a refund. Read the operator’s cancellation and refund policy carefully before paying a deposit or booking. Given the low rating (2.1), consider using a credit card that offers chargeback protection, or request a viewing first.
