Overview and location
SPC 28046 is a student residence located in Getafe, a city that forms part of the Madrid metropolitan area. The address is listed simply as Spain, but based on property data and resident reviews referencing Madrid, it sits within the commuting zone of the capital. Getafe is known for its university campus and transport connections, making it a practical base for students who study at institutions in the southern part of Madrid or who prefer a quieter residential setting than the city centre.
The residence offers units ranging from single‑bedroom apartments to shared flats with 3, 4, 6, or 8 bedrooms. It also lists a branded independent house option. Tags include WiFi, washing machine, and TV. The minimum lease period is 4 months, which suits both semester‑stay and full‑academic‑year students. No specific availability date is provided, so booking timing depends on individual enquiry.
Who this residence suits (and who should look elsewhere)
This residence suits students who value modern facilities, a secure environment, and a supportive staff team. The Google rating of 4.8 from 232 reviews is exceptionally high, and the quoted reviews consistently highlight the building’s condition, location, and helpful personnel. Students who prefer to live in a purpose‑built student community with shared common areas and a managed service will find this option appealing.
It is less suited to those on a very tight budget. The monthly price range from €569 to €1,195 is indicative — confirm with the operator. By comparison, the from‑price across the entire city of Getafe (including all student housing) is €232 per month. That gap is substantial. SPC 28046 is clearly positioned at the upper end of the market. Students looking for the absolute cheapest room in Getafe should explore shared private apartments or older residences.
The residence may also not be ideal for students who want to live in the historic centre of Madrid. Getafe is a separate city about 13 km south of central Madrid. Commuting to universities near Sol or Moncloa takes roughly 30–40 minutes by train or metro. The reviews do not complain about the location, but a student who prioritises being within walking distance of Madrid’s main squares should look at properties in the central districts.
What residents say about daily life
The three Google reviews provided give a clear picture of the resident experience. All are five‑star and come from different perspectives: a student, a visiting student, and a parent.
Jemag 2731 writes: “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” — the review cuts off, but the sentiment is positive.
Beck D says: “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, a parent, comments: “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” — again cut off, but clearly satisfied.
These reviews suggest the residence excels on three fronts: modern facilities, helpful staff, and a location that residents consider excellent. The parent review is notable — it indicates that the operator communicates well with families, which can be reassuring for international students and their guardians.
Price positioning and room types
SPC 28046’s price range of €569 to €1,195 per month is indicative — confirm with the operator. To understand where it sits, compare it with the city’s from‑price of €232. The from‑price represents the cheapest available room in Getafe, likely in a shared flat or a basic residence without the amenities of SPC 28046.
The residence’s minimum price (€569) is about 2.5 times the city from‑price. The maximum (€1,195) is over five times that floor. This wide range corresponds to different unit types:
- 1‑bedroom units likely fall near the upper end of the range, offering private living and kitchen space.
- Shared rooms in 3‑, 4‑, 6‑, and 8‑bedroom flats will sit at the lower end, with the 8‑bed shared being the most economical.
- Branded independent houses — possibly entire flats or studios — may be at the top of the range.
For a student on a moderate budget, a shared 6‑ or 8‑bedroom room could be a good compromise: you get the modern building and services while keeping costs closer to €600 per month. For someone who values privacy and can afford it, a 1‑bedroom apartment offers a self‑contained living space.
Because no deposit amount is listed, you must confirm deposit terms directly with the operator before booking.
Booking timing and lease terms
The minimum lease is 4 months. This makes the residence suitable for one semester, a full academic year, or even a shorter summer stay if the operator agrees (subject to availability). The property has no stated earliest move‑in date, so you should check current availability.
Given the high rating (4.8) and the number of reviews (232), this residence is likely popular. For the 2026–2027 academic year, high‑demand months are typically July (for early arrivals) and September (for the academic start). Students who want a specific room type — especially a 1‑bedroom — should enquire as early as possible, ideally in the spring of 2026 for a September move‑in.
FAQ
H3: Is the residence located near universities in Getafe or Madrid?
SPC 28046 is in Getafe, which hosts the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid campus. The residence’s exact address is not published, but Getafe is well connected by Cercanías trains and metro line 12. Commuting to central Madrid takes about 30–40 minutes. The reviews describe the location as “unbeatable” and “one of the best neighborhoods in Madrid,” but that likely refers to the specific Getafe neighbourhood rather than central Madrid.
H3: What amenities are included in the rent?
Tags list WiFi, washing machine, and TV. The exact list of included utilities (water, electricity, gas, internet) and services (cleaning, maintenance, gym, study rooms) is not available in the data. You should confirm what is covered in the monthly price during the booking process. The modern building and positive reviews suggest a well‑equipped property, but verification is essential.
H3: Can I book for only one semester?
Yes, the minimum lease is 4 months, which covers a typical semester (one academic term). Many students in the reviews mention staying for a semester. For longer stays, the operator may offer discounts, but that is not confirmed in the data. Always check the lease terms for renewal conditions.
