SPC 28047 – Getafe, Madrid: A Student Residence Review Based on Resident Feedback
If you’re looking for student housing in the Madrid area, SPC 28047 in Getafe offers a modern, purpose-built living experience with a wide range of room types and shared amenities. With monthly prices ranging from €450 to €1,860 (indicative — confirm with the operator), it sits above Getafe’s typical city-wide from-price of €232 per month. This review draws on real Google reviews (rating 4.4 / 5 from 246 reviews) to help you decide whether this residence suits your needs.
Who This Residence Suits
SPC 28047 is best suited for students who value an active social life and on-site facilities. The residence organises regular group activities such as workouts, cycling, yoga, and pool parties – a point highlighted by resident Mirabella Matos in her 5-star review: “They do so many activities like workouts, cycling, yoga, pool parties and you can meet so many people during those activities.” If you’re coming to Madrid alone or want to build a social network quickly, this place gives you built-in opportunities.
The property is also a good fit if you prefer a relatively new, clean, and well-maintained complex. Another resident, Isabel, gave 5 stars and described her stay as “very tranquil, modern and comfortable.” She specifically mentioned the pool, padel court, gym, study rooms, and shared kitchen as positives. That suggests the common areas are a genuine asset – not just listed on paper.
SPC 28047 provides a variety of room configurations: single rooms (1b), double rooms (2b), and cluster flats (3b, 4b, 5b, greater_8b) as well as branded independent houses. This flexibility means both solo occupants and groups can find something. The minimum lease is 4 months, which is shorter than many annual contracts and suitable for exchange students or those on a semester abroad.
The residence is located in Getafe, a municipality south of central Madrid. If you study at a campus in Getafe (e.g., Universidad Carlos III de Madrid’s Getafe campus), the location is convenient. For those commuting to central Madrid, the journey by train or metro takes around 30–40 minutes, which is manageable but not walkable.
Who This Residence Might Not Suit
SPC 28047 may not be ideal if you are on a tight budget. The city’s from-price for student housing is €232/month, and this residence’s minimum is €450/month – nearly double. Even the cheapest rooms are significantly above Getafe’s baseline. If you need to keep costs low, shared apartments in the private market or older residences might be cheaper.
If you prefer a quiet, self-contained experience without programmed activities, the social emphasis here could feel overwhelming. While many enjoy the events, introverted students who just want a place to sleep and study may find the energy distracting. The residence has common living rooms and shared kitchens in cluster flats, so you’re likely to interact with flatmates regularly.
The Google rating is 4.4, but there is one 3-star review from a user named Parssa, who wrote: “Can I get an honest review or the truth about that place ? I’m planning to move to Madrid and from a far place, plus I don’t have much time. Now, should I rent a place from there or what I see A lot of different opinions. Someone please tell the Truth about this place. Thanks.” This comment reflects some ambiguity – not everyone leaves detailed positive feedback. It suggests that prospective tenants might benefit from checking multiple sources or speaking directly to current residents before committing.
Also, note that SPC 28047 is tagged as “new” on the platform. Newer buildings can sometimes have teething problems (e.g., incomplete facilities or maintenance response times). However, Isabel’s review indicates she found it “pretty new” and had a pleasant experience, so issues may be minimal. Still, if you prefer a well-established residence with years of reviews, this may not be your first choice.
What Residents Actually Say
We have three Google reviews for this property. Here they are verbatim:
- Mirabella Matos (5 stars): “They do so many activities like workouts, cycling, yoga, pool parties and you can meet so many people during those activities.”
- Isabel (5 stars): “I had a very pleasant stay at Student Experience, Pozuelo: very pleased with the staff, the rooms & the facilities.

Note: “Pozuelo” may refer to a different location – but the review is associated with this property ID.)
- Parssa (3 stars): “Can I get an honest review or the truth about that place ? I’m planning to move to Madrid and from a far place, plus I don’t have much time. Now, should I rent a place from there or what I see A lot of different opinions. Someone please tell the Truth about this place. Thanks.”
The two 5-star reviews highlight activities, facilities, and comfort. The 3-star review is not a direct complaint but a request for more transparency. Overall, the sentiment among those who rated is positive – 4.4 average with 246 reviews is a solid score.
Price Positioning vs City Average
Getafe’s student housing from-price is €232/month (based on the minimum rent listed across 97 properties in the city). SPC 28047 starts at €450/month – 93% higher than the city floor. The maximum price of €1,860/month is likely for larger cluster flats or independent houses. That top-end price is unusual for a student residence, but it may include entire units.
In central Madrid, student housing from-price is typically higher (€400–€600+), so Getafe’s baseline is low. By choosing SPC 28047, you are paying a premium for newer facilities, social programming, and guaranteed amenities. If you don’t need those extras, you could find a private room in a shared flat for less than €400 in Getafe.
Room-Type Guidance
The property offers units labelled: 1b (studio or single room), 2b (double/shared), 3b, 4b, 5b, greater_8b (large cluster flats), and branded independent houses. Here is a practical guide:
- 1b (studio/single): Best for full privacy. Likely the cheapest option, around €450–€600/month. Suits students who want their own kitchenette/bathroom.
- 2b (twin/double): Shares a room with another person. Usually cheaper per person than a single. Check whether the price quoted is per person or per room.
- 3b/4b/5b: Shared flats with private bedrooms and common kitchen/living. Good for social students. Prices will vary by room size and floor.
- greater_8b: Very large flats. You may share with many flatmates. Usually the most budget-friendly per person (but still above city minimum).
- branded independent house: Possibly a full house for a group – the premium option (up to €1,860/month). Suitable for friend groups who want a self-contained space.
When booking, confirm with the operator exactly which unit type is available and whether utilities, internet (tagged as WiFi), and cleaning are included. The residence has a living room and is new, so expect modern furnishings.
Booking Timing
The residence lists “available_from” as “null”, meaning availability is currently open – you can likely move in soon. The minimum lease is 4 months, which is flexible. For the 2026–2027 academic year:
- Early 2026 (now): Good time to secure a room for the next semester starting in September 2026. The residence is popular (4.4 rating, 246 reviews) and may fill up for the most affordable rooms.
- Late 2026 (June–August): Peak booking season for September intake. Prices may be higher and availability tighter. Aim to book at least 2–3 months in advance.
- 2027 intake: For semesters starting early 2027, you can book from mid-2026. The residence may offer early-bird rates; check directly with the operator.
