SPC 28013: A Madrid residence with strong reviews and wide price range
This article reviews SPC 28013, a student housing option listed under the city of Getafe but with an address in the 28013 district of Madrid. The property offers a broad range of room types and prices, and carries a high Google rating of 4.8 from 232 reviews. Resident feedback frequently refers to the property under the name XIOR Student Housing, indicating a possible combination of branding or management. Below we examine who this residence suits, what previous residents have said, how its pricing compares to the city’s baseline, and practical booking considerations. All prices mentioned are indicative and should be confirmed with the operator.
Who is this residence for?
SPC 28013 is well suited to students who prioritise location, modern facilities, and a supported living environment. The residence is located in the 28013 area of Madrid, which several reviewers describe as one of the best neighbourhoods in the city – walkable to amenities and with good transport links. The building includes a study area, laundry facilities, and a lift, all of which add convenience for long-term stays.
The range of unit types – from shared apartments with three to eight-plus bedrooms (greater_8b, 3b, 4b, 5b, 6b, 7b, 8b) to branded independent houses – means the residence can accommodate students who want to live with several flatmates or those who prefer a more private, house-style setup. Parents may also find this residence appealing: one resident’s parent noted that the staff provided reassurance and were helpful when visiting from abroad. The minimum lease of four months suits semester-length programmes, exchange students, or those who need medium-term accommodation without a full academic-year commitment.
Who might want to look elsewhere?
Students on a tighter budget should be aware that the minimum monthly price of EUR 440 is substantially above the city’s lowest listed price of EUR 232 for student housing. While the residence offers many room types, the cheaper end may still represent a premium tier compared to other local options. Those seeking the least expensive shared rooms may need to look at other properties in Madrid or Getafe.
The property may not be ideal for students who prefer very small, quiet living arrangements. With units ranging from three-bedroom flats to large eight-plus-bedroom apartments, shared living will likely be the norm. Individuals who need absolute quiet for studying or who prefer self-contained studios may find the communal floor plans less suitable. Additionally, the residence currently does not list a fixed available-from date, meaning booking may depend on seasonal inventory – early planning is advisable.
What residents actually say
The Google reviews for this residence (based on 232 ratings, resulting in a 4.8 score) are overwhelmingly positive. Below are direct quotes from three reviewers:
“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” – Jemag 2731 (rating 5)
“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.” – Beck D (rating 5)
“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” – Anas Sadqane (rating 5)
These comments consistently highlight the location, the helpfulness of staff, the security and modern condition of the building, and the overall positive atmosphere. The parent’s perspective suggests that the management is proactive with international families, which can be a deciding factor for those sending a child abroad.
Price positioning vs the city’s starting rent
The city-based “from price” for student housing across Getafe and the surrounding Madrid area is EUR 232 per month – a figure drawn from the platform’s minimum listing. SPC 28013 starts at EUR 440 per month and goes up to EUR 4,260 per month. This places the lower end of the property at nearly double the city’s cheapest option. However, the maximum price suggests that the property includes premium units such as large independent houses or high-end apartments. The wide range reflects diversity in room configurations, sizes, and possibly building floors or amenities.
When comparing housing, students should consider that the city’s from price likely represents a basic shared room in a more budget-oriented residence. SPC 28013, with its high rating and consistently praised location, commands a noticeable premium. The price is indicative and may vary by season and unit.
Room type guidance
The property lists the following unit types: 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, 5-bedroom, 6-bedroom, 7-bedroom, greater than 8-bedroom shared apartments, and branded independent houses. This means most students will share common areas with several flatmates. The labelled “branded independent houses” likely refer to separate houses (possibly within a complex) that are still managed under the same residence brand, offering more privacy or different layouts.
Amenities noted in the tags include a study area, laundry facility, and lift. No gym, common lounge, or outdoor space is listed, so students who particularly want those features should inquire directly with the operator. The absence of a deposit amount in the data means the financial terms for securing a room should be clarified during the booking process. All room prices and configurations are indicative and subject to change.
Booking timing
The minimum lease period is 4 months, and the property does not currently specify an available-from date (shown as null in the data). This likely means that availability changes depending on term cycles and student demand. Given the strong rating (4.8) and positive reviews, the residence may see high occupancy, especially during the autumn intake. Students planning to move in for the 2026–2027 academic year should begin enquiries early – at least 3 to 6 months ahead – to secure a preferred room type.
Because the platform shows 97 student housing properties in Getafe and the wider Madrid area, alternatives exist. However, SPC 28013’s distinctively high rating and reviews indicate it is a popular choice. Confirming pricing, any additional fees (such as deposits, cleaning, or utilities), and the exact location relative to your university is essential before committing.
