Overview and Location
Beatriz De Bobadilla is a student housing property located at 18, Moncloa – Aravaca, 28040 Madrid, Spain. Although the official city field shows Getafe, the physical address places it in the Moncloa district of Madrid, close to several university campuses and public transport links. The building offers a mix of non‑ensuite rooms and branded independent house units. Key amenities include an elevator, laundry facility, and Wi‑Fi. As of the data date, the property is marked as “not available” – this status can change, so prospective tenants should confirm current availability with the operator.
The monthly price range is €740 – €925 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The minimum lease term is 4 months, making it an option for students staying for a semester or a short academic year.
Who Is This Residence Best Suited For?
Short‑term renters (4‑month minimum) – The 4‑month minimum lease aligns well with exchange students or those on a single semester programme who do not want to commit to a full academic year. Longer stays may also be possible, but the short minimum provides flexibility.
Students who prefer a managed, independent building – The “branded independent house” unit type suggests a professionally managed property, often with reception, maintenance, and communal areas. This suits newcomers to Madrid who value a structured, all‑in‑one living environment.
Residents who need an elevator – Not all older buildings in Madrid have lifts. The presence of an elevator is a practical advantage for those on upper floors or with heavy luggage.
Those who want in‑unit laundry and Wi‑Fi included – The tags list laundry facility and Wi‑Fi as amenities, eliminating the need to find external laundromats or arrange separate internet contracts.
Who this residence does NOT suit:
- Budget‑conscious students – The €740 – €925 monthly range is significantly above Madrid’s city‑wide from‑price of €232 (indicative — the cheapest available rooms in shared apartments or student halls). If price is the top priority, other properties in the city centre or outskirts may be more affordable.
- Students requiring an ensuite bathroom – All room types are non‑ensuite, meaning bathroom and possibly kitchen are shared. Those who prefer private facilities will need to look elsewhere.
- Travellers seeking hotel‑style service – Based on one guest review, the daily housekeeping and complimentary items can be minimal. See the review section below.
What Residents Actually Say (Reviews)
The property has 4 Google reviews with an average rating of 4.5 out of 5. Two reviews are provided in the data. We quote both verbatim below, noting that one appears to refer to a medical centre rather than the student accommodation itself – this may reflect a mixed‑use building or a data mapping error.
Teresa Sarmentero (Rating: 3/5)
“For the price they charge for sleeping, it’s pretty meager. One bottle of water for two people for two nights, they don’t make the bed. I’ve stayed in similar apartments before and had a bottle of water every day, herbal teas (here they only have coffee). The customer service on the phone was excellent, a 10 out of 10.”
This review highlights that the daily amenities (water, tea, bed‑making) fall short of what the reviewer expected for the price. The positive note about phone service suggests that pre‑arrival communication is handled well, but the in‑person experience may be underwhelming for those seeking hotel‑like extras. This is more relevant to short‑stay guests than long‑term students, who typically expect to manage their own room.
Carmen S (Rating: 5/5)
“A great medical center; I’ve been going there for years for gynecological checkups. Excellent professionals, very friendly and efficient staff. They put patients at ease. Very well organized for getting tests done.”
This appears to describe a medical practice located in the same building or using the same Google Maps listing. It does not reflect the student housing experience. The high rating may skew the overall 4.5 average, so prospective renters should treat the overall Google rating with caution specific to accommodation.
Summary of review sentiment:
- Positive: Phone customer service is excellent.
- Negative: In‑room daily provisions are meagre relative to price; bed‑making service may be absent.
- Other reviews are not available; the small sample size (4) means the review data is thin.
Price Positioning and Value
Madrid’s city‑wide from‑price (the cheapest available student room on the platform) is €232 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). That figure likely represents a shared apartment in a less central area or a basic hall room with very limited amenities.
Beatriz De Bobadilla starts at €740, which is 3.2 times the city floor price. The maximum €925 is 4 times the floor price. This places the property firmly in the mid‑to‑upper tier of student accommodation in Madrid. For comparison, many modern student residences in central Madrid fall between €600 and €1,200 per month for non‑ensuite rooms, depending on location, facilities, and lease length.
Value drivers:
- Location in Moncloa – a well‑connected, student‑friendly neighbourhood with good transport to Complutense University, Polytechnic University, and other major campuses.
- Elevator, laundry, and Wi‑Fi included in the monthly price (verify exact inclusions with the operator).
- Short minimum lease (4 months) avoids paying for unused summer months.
Value detractors:
- Non‑ensuite configuration – shared facilities can be a downside for some.
- The negative review suggests that day‑to‑day service (bottled water, bed‑making) is lacking, though most students do not expect such services.
- The city from‑price demonstrates that much cheaper rooms exist, although they often require a longer commitment or are in less convenient areas.
Price‑duration note: All prices are quoted monthly (indicative — confirm with the operator). Deposits are not listed in the data; ask the operator if a security deposit applies.
Room Types and Booking Considerations
The available room types are non‑ensuite and branded independent house. No specific room categories (e.g., studio, twin) are given. Non‑ensuite typically means a private bedroom with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. The branded independent house label suggests the property is managed by a known operator (often a “student living” brand) and may include communal lounges, study areas, or a reception.
Booking timing:
- The minimum lease of 4 months allows for flexible start dates. Many students book 3–6 months in advance for September intake, but availability changes rapidly.
- The property is currently tagged “not_available” in the data. This may mean no rooms are free at this moment, or the data is not up to date. Always confirm directly with the operator.
- Given the relatively high price, it is unlikely to sell out as quickly as cheaper options, but rooms in central Moncloa are in demand. For a September 2026 start, begin searching in early 2026.
What to ask the operator before booking:
- Which exact room types are available (single, double, etc.)?
- What is the total monthly cost including utilities (electricity, water, gas)?
- Is Wi‑Fi unlimited or capped?
- What is the cancellation policy for a 4‑month contract?
- Are there any additional fees (cleaning, administration, deposit)?
