Residencia Universitaria Claudio Coello - Campus Accommodation

Convenient and quiet location. Close to several metro stations. Great value for money !

An sich ist die Herberge gut. Bloß wir haben ein Doppelzimmer gebucht und 4 Stunden vor Anreise wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass das gebuchte Zimmer uns nicht mehr zur Verfügung steht. Wir wurden auf 2 Einzelzimmer verteilt. Dafür haben wir zwar eine Vergünstigung bekommen, aber wenn man als Paar vereist, will man auch in einem Bett schlafen. Aus diesem Grund würde ich die Unterkunft nicht weiterempfehlen. Der Frühstück war gut. Frisch zubereitet und eine ordentliche Portion.

來旅行的別選，離熱門景點有點遠，要找到也不容易。

Well, I spent 5 nights in this accommodation and my impression is actually positive. + the accommodation is located in the renowned Salamanca district and everything looks tidy. A walk to Gran Via or Retiro Park: approx. 35 minutes The house is generally well maintained and there are a lot of entertainment options already on the ground floor - not least the roof with the pool (more an XXL bathtub, but with a nice atmosphere). There are also some vending machines on the ground floor where you can buy drinks (water 65 Cents) and sweets (M&Ms 1 Euro) at very moderate prices. The single rooms are actually quite nice, although not entirely new anymore. The room has - of course - a dormitory touch - but hey, that shouldn't come as a surprise when you book a RESA. The beds are a bit basic (looks like a folding bed) but the mattresses are good. The small kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave is very pleasant. Neutral: even if the accommodation is centrally located, it is between a few Metro stations and you always have to walk a bit. There are also a number of shops and cafes/restaurants in the area, but no supermarkets or drugstores (or I just didn't find them). What is perhaps also important: there are a lot of students living there, and although they are all very kind, if you are a little older - like me - you feel a bit strange. But hey, that can NOT be blamed on the accommodation if you book a student resistance first and then feel a bit "inappropriate". It's probably just me and I'm already just too old :-) And: as I booked I asked for a room on a higher floor, but was not given a definitive answer (like you get mostly in Hotels). I thought there might be an internal reservation system where such requests could be taken into account in advance - but no. In the end I got a room on a higher floor - but the process of requesting was a bit annoying. There were actually only a few things that were not so great: - The bathroom is tiny and the silicone is moldy, the old PVC floor has a 1980s charm and some things are slowly falling apart (like the desk base cabinet). And: there should be "Do not disturb" signs like in hotels, because it's a little annoying when the otherwise very nice cleaning lady knocks at 8:30 on two days. All in all, the accommodation is absolutely recommendable and I would give it 8 or 8,5 out of 10. Would I(!) book it again: maybe not, but the only reason would be that I don't fit here or to this concept. For all the others: GO FOR IT! PS: even breakfast is included!

Yeah it's basically a student hostel / dorm. But that's ok. I paid for the top level room "Executive Suite with Terrace" and it was still half the price of the nearby hotels. Cons: - If you're over 30 you will feel like a dinosaur - No alcohol allowed in building - they will yell at you if they see you bringing back a beer to have in your room. - The rooms definitely feel like they were furnished for absolutely zero euros. They still manage to be comfortable, but they're not pretty and everything feels cheap. Pros: - Very casual - Very good value for money - Free small breakfast - Rolling blackout shutters on the room and good sound isolation makes for easy sleeping - Friendly staff - Kitchenette in room (at executive studio level) - Great little roof terrace and, if you upgrade, private terrace on the room. Young solo travelers and couples - especially if you speak Spanish - should definitely check it out.
