SPC 28002: A Student Residence in Getafe, Madrid
SPC 28002 is a purpose-built student accommodation property located in the Getafe area of Madrid. It offers a range of shared living configurations – from 2-bedroom to 8+ bedroom apartments and independent houses – with on-site Wi-Fi and laundry facilities. Monthly rent starts at €450 and goes up to €1,745, with a minimum lease of four months. Below is an evidence-based assessment of who the residence suits, what current residents say, and how it compares to the wider market.
Who This Residence Suits
Students who value space and flexibility in shared living.
The property includes units with two, three, four, five, six, seven, and more than eight bedrooms. This variety makes it suitable for groups of friends who want to live together, as well as single students willing to share with others. The availability of “branded independent house” units suggests there may be entire houses managed by the operator, which could appeal to those seeking more privacy or a non-apartment layout.
Students who prefer a longer-term base.
The minimum lease is four months, which is typical for a full academic semester. This contrasts with some short-stay options in Madrid (often one-month minimums) and provides stability for international students or those enrolled in year-long programmes. The residence does not appear to offer semester-by-semester flexibility below four months, so it suits tenants who have already confirmed their length of stay.
Residents who prioritise online convenience and digital reviews.
With a Google rating of 4.8 from 44 reviews, the property enjoys a strong average score. While the sample size is small, the high rating suggests that the majority of those who left feedback had a positive overall experience. The property is listed on major online booking platforms, so checking availability and comparing rates is straightforward.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
Budget-conscious students.
The starting price of €450 per month is nearly double Getafe’s city-wide from-price of €232. Even the cheapest room in SPC 28002 is significantly above the local baseline. Students on a tight budget should compare other options in the area – many of which start well below €300 – before committing. All prices here are indicative and must be confirmed with the operator.
Students seeking on-site support or all-inclusive billing clarity.
One review (Jad Ganama, 1 star) mentions “multiple additional charges that were not clearly explained” and a “slow and complicated payment process.” Another positive review (Omar El Ameri, 5 stars) praises the team, especially a staff member named Cristina, for being responsive. This suggests that service quality may depend on individual staff, and there is at least one documented complaint about hidden fees and billing difficulties. Prospective tenants should ask for a detailed breakdown of charges before signing.
Those who want a high level of security and modern design – but only on paper.
While the reviewer Patrice VH (5 stars) calls the residence “modern, secure, and thoughtfully designed,” the contradiction with the 1-star review indicates that not everyone shares that view. The management should be able to demonstrate specific security measures (access control, CCTV, etc.) upon request. If security is a top concern, a pre-visit or video tour is advisable.
What Residents Actually Say
The three Google reviews available paint a mixed picture:
-
Patrice VH (5 stars):
“Collegiate Madrid Chamartín is a modern, secure, and thoughtfully designed, with excellent amenities that truly support student life—from the stylish study spaces to the gym and common areas perfect for relaxing or socialising. The team is professional, welcoming, and always ready to help. They make every effort to cre”
(Note: The review text is truncated, but it emphasises modern design, good amenities, and helpful staff.) -
Omar El Ameri (5 stars):
“My sister is now a student in this residence and I’m absolutely eclastic with all the team but specially the management team. Cristina was all the way there taking care of our case and taking her time in answering our questions. I fully recommend and I’m thankful for cristina for her time! She is fantastic!!”
(Note: “eclastic” is likely a typo for “ecstatic.” The reviewer highlights personalised support from a specific staff member.) -
Jad Ganama (1 star):
“Very bad experience. The rent is already high, and I faced multiple additional charges that were not clearly explained. The payment process is slow and complicated, which can easily lead to late fees even when you try to pay on time. I was also charged for an issue that was not justified. Maintenance and support were u”
(The review cuts off, but the main complaints are high base rent, unclear extra charges, payment complications, and poor maintenance.)
The two positive reviews praise the property’s physical condition and staff responsiveness, while the negative review raises serious concerns about pricing transparency and billing. Given that only three reviews are publicly available, the 4.8 average should be interpreted with caution – it does not represent a statistically reliable sample. Potential residents should ask the operator for more recent feedback or references.
Price Positioning vs. Getafe’s From-Price
Getafe’s overall student accommodation from-price is €232 per month (based on data from mid-2026). SPC 28002 starts at €450 – nearly double that figure. The property’s maximum price of €1,745 suggests that some large or premium units (such as independent houses) are significantly more expensive.
For context, a student who shares a flat with three to five other people outside this residence can often pay €250–€350 per month in similar areas of Getafe. The higher price at SPC 28002 should be justified by the specific amenities (Wi-Fi, on-site laundry, common areas) and the property’s condition. Even so, the indicative price of €450 is above average for the zone. Prospective tenants should compare the cost with shared apartments in the same postal code to determine fair value.
Room-Type Guidance
The available unit types are:
- 2-bedroom (2b)
- 3-bedroom (3b)
- 4-bedroom (4b)
- 5-bedroom (5b)
- 6-bedroom (6b)
- 7-bedroom (7b)
- Greater than 8-bedroom (greater_8b)
- Branded independent house
In practice, “2b” to “6b” are typical shared flats. “Greater_8b” is a large shared unit with more than eight tenants, often with multiple bathrooms and a larger common area. The “branded independent house” suggests a separate house managed under the same operator, possibly with a private kitchen and garden.
If you value privacy, a 2b or 3b unit with fewer flatmates may be worth the higher per-person cost. If you want lower rent and don’t mind larger groups, a 6b or greater_8b unit will be cheaper. The independent house option is likely the most expensive but offers the most space – suitable for a group of friends who want to live as a household. Confirm exact layouts and floor plans with the operator, as “branded independent house” may have different rules regarding guests, utilities, and contract length.
Booking Timing
The minimum lease is four months, meaning you can book for a semester (September–January or February–June) rather than a full academic year. The property does not show a specific “available from” date in the data, so availability likely depends on the current cycle.
Given that Madrid’s student market peaks from August to October for the start of the academic year, it is wise to secure a room at least two to three months before your intended move-in. For arrivals in January, booking by November is recommended. Because prices are indicative and can change based on demand, contact the operator as early as possible and ask for a written confirmation of the total cost, including any deposits or admin fees. The city has 97 other student properties as of July 2026, so if this residence is heavily booked during peak season, alternatives exist.
Frequently Asked Questions
H3 What additional charges should I expect?
The only mention of extra costs comes from a negative review that cites “multiple additional charges not clearly explained.” The listing does not specify a deposit amount (deposit: null). Ask the operator if the rent covers all utilities (electricity, water, gas, internet) or if there are separate payments for cleaning, security, or late fees. A standard practice in Spanish student accommodation is to charge one month’s deposit, plus a booking or reservation fee. Confirm the full move-in cost in writing and request a sample contract before paying anything.
H3 Are the shared rooms en-suite or shared bathroom?
The data does not indicate bathroom arrangements. Many large shared units (6b or greater_8b) have multiple bathrooms, but this is not guaranteed. Contact the operator and ask specifically: “How many bathrooms are in a 4-bedroom unit? Are any of them en-suite?” If a shared bathroom is a dealbreaker, check that the unit type you select meets your requirement.
H3 Can I cancel my booking after signing?
Student residence contracts usually have a cooling-off period or cancellation policy, but this varies by operator and country. Spanish law may allow a 14-day withdrawal period for distance contracts, but the property’s own terms may differ. Since the data does not include cancellation conditions, request the operator’s cancellation policy in writing before booking. If you are an international student, also confirm whether you need a visa or proof of enrolment to trigger your tenancy.
