Micampus Getafe II: A Decision Review
This residence is located at Calle 24, 28904 Getafe, Madrid, Spain. It offers ensuite and non-ensuite rooms, with a monthly price range of €834–€1,112 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The property includes a gym, study area, and cafeteria. It has a Google rating of 4.0 from 185 reviews.
Who This Residence Suits
Micampus Getafe II is designed for students who prioritise modern facilities and a structured living environment. The property’s private study areas and gym appeal to residents who want on-site amenities without leaving the building. The cafeteria reduces the need to cook daily, which suits those with a busy schedule or limited kitchen skills. The residence also provides both ensuite (private bathroom) and non-ensuite (shared bathroom) options, giving some flexibility depending on your budget and privacy preference.
Getafe is a suburban city with good transport links to central Madrid (about 30 minutes by train or bus). If you study at a campus in Getafe or prefer a quieter base while commuting, this location works well. The property’s rating (4.0) suggests that most guests had a satisfactory stay, though the mix of reviews indicates that the experience depends on your tolerance for noise and administrative processes.
Who This Residence Doesn’t Suit
This residence is not ideal for students who are sensitive to noise. One reviewer, Diogo Guedes, noted: “Good experience overall, very noisy on the evenings though but otherwise you get what you paid.” If you need complete quiet to study or sleep, consider whether evening noise will be a problem.
It is also not well suited for those who expect seamless communication in English. Axel Hedlund mentioned: “with a small amount of the staff being able to speak English, it was a bit difficult for us to communicate.” If you do not speak Spanish, you may experience frustration at the front desk.
Deposit returns have been flagged as problematic. Axel Hedlund began his review with “DEPOSIT PROBLEMS!” and Diogo Guedes mentioned “3 weeks delay on the refund of the deposit but seems pretty good compared to others here.” If you rely on a fast and predictable deposit refund, this residence may cause uncertainty.
Finally, the negative review from hibi HD warns of poor management communication and missing facilities like a refrigerator: “Communication from the management is very poor, and the website provides almost no useful information. For example, there was no way to get access to a refrigerator. Furthermore, the room was in a disappo …” (the review cuts off). These issues suggest that the residence may not meet the expectations of students who want thorough pre-arrival information and well-equipped rooms.
What Residents Actually Say
The three available Google reviews show a divided experience.
hibi HD (1 star):
“I would strongly advise against staying at this residence hall for several reasons: 1. Facilities & Room Condition: Communication from the management is very poor, and the website provides almost no useful information. For example, there was no way to get access to a refrigerator. Furthermore, the room was in a disappo …”
This reviewer was unhappy with management responsiveness and room amenities. The lack of a refrigerator is a notable inconvenience for students who want to store food.
Axel Hedlund (2 stars):
“DEPOSIT PROBLEMS! The residence is nice. The room and public spaces are quite modern and new, with a lot of space to study and hang out with people. The staff in the reception is nice, or trying to be, with a small amount of the staff being able to speak English, it was a bit difficult for us to communicate, you could …”
The reviewer acknowledges the physical quality of the building (modern, new, spacious) but flags both deposit issues and language barriers.
Diogo Guedes (4 stars):
“Good experience overall, very noisy on the evenings though but otherwise you get what you paid (spent 6 months there). 3 weeks delay on the refund of the deposit but seems pretty good compared to others here.”
This review is broadly positive, but the noise and deposit delay are recurring themes. The reviewer suggests that a three-week refund wait is acceptable relative to other residences in the area.
Price Positioning vs. City’s From-Price
The city of Getafe has a general student-housing market starting price of €232 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). However, this low price likely refers to shared flats or basic rooms in older buildings. Micampus Getafe II starts at €834 for a non-ensuite room and goes up to €1,112 for an ensuite room. That is more than 3.5 times the city’s cheapest option.
This places the residence in the mid-to-upper range for Getafe student accommodation. The price reflects modern, purpose-built facilities (gym, study areas, cafeteria, newer furnishings). If you are on a tight budget, there are cheaper alternatives in Getafe. If you value convenience and amenities, the extra cost may be reasonable.
Getafe has about 97 student properties listed, so you have alternatives to compare. The city’s average price across all properties is not provided, but given the wide range from €232 to over €1,100, Micampus Getafe II is clearly at the higher end.
Room-Type Guidance
Two room types are available: ensuite and non-ensuite.
-
Ensuite rooms (private bathroom) range from the upper end of the price bracket (€1,112). These are best if you are not comfortable sharing a bathroom with strangers or if you prefer more privacy. The added cost is around €250–€300 per month over the cheapest non-ensuite.
-
Non-ensuite rooms (shared bathroom) start at €834. This is the more economical choice, but you will share facilities with other residents. The residence has common areas and a study space, so you may still have private moments despite a shared bathroom.
Given the reviews, note that even within the building you may experience noise in evenings regardless of room type. The facilities (gym, cafeteria) are shared by all residents.
Booking Timing Considerations
The property currently carries a “not_available” tag, which may indicate limited or no current openings. If you are looking for a room starting in 2026 or 2027, it is wise to check availability early. Student housing in Madrid-area suburbs tends to fill up between March and July for the following academic year.
Because deposit refund delays have been reported, factor a potential three-week (or longer) wait into your financial planning after you move out. If you need your deposit back immediately upon departure, you may want to clarify the refund timeline in writing before signing the contract.
The “not_available” status could also mean the property is temporarily closed for renovations or fully booked. Contact the operator directly to confirm current and future availability.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How loud is the residence during evenings?
Based on multiple reviews, evening noise is a common complaint. Diogo Guedes explicitly wrote: “very noisy on the evenings though.” If you study late or need silence to sleep, consider using earplugs or asking for a room away from high-traffic areas. The residence’s study area may offer quieter spaces, but the general building noise appears to be an issue.
Is there a refrigerator in the room?
One reviewer, hibi HD, stated that there was no way to access a refrigerator. The property does not mention in-room fridges in its listing. If you require a refrigerator, you should confirm with the operator whether one can be provided or if you are allowed to bring your own. The cafeteria may reduce the need for personal food storage, but if you prefer to cook or store fresh groceries, this could be a limitation.
How long will it take to get my deposit back after moving out?
Two reviewers mentioned deposit delays: Axel Hedlund flagged “DEPOSIT PROBLEMS!” and Diogo Guedes reported a three-week delay, adding that this was “pretty good compared to others here.” The actual timeline may vary depending on the operator’s process and the condition of your room. Always get the deposit return terms in writing and take photos of the room upon move-in and move-out to protect yourself.
