Xior Campus UEM — Madrid
Located in Villaviciosa de Odón, about 20 km southwest of central Madrid, Xior Campus UEM is a purpose-built student residence that opened in recent years. It sits directly next to a university campus, making it a practical choice for students attending that institution. The property offers shared rooms and one-bedroom units, with monthly prices ranging from €1,425 to €2,050 (indicative — confirm with the operator). Availability begins 1 September 2026. The residence is rated 4.0 stars on Google from 230 reviews.
Who is this residence for?
Students who put convenience and community first will find a strong fit here. The residence is literally steps from the university campus, so commuting time is near zero. The all‑inclusive pricing (rent, utilities, meals, and most services) simplifies budgeting – no surprise bills for electricity, water, or internet.
Residents who enjoy an active social life will appreciate the common areas: a gym, a cinema room, and a dedicated study area. The property also has large green spaces, which are rare in many student accommodations. According to resident Vanessa, who stayed for three years, “the residence offers exactly what it promises: a well‑organized, comfortable environment with everything a student needs to live and study in peace.”
Students who are moving to Madrid from abroad may find the support system reassuring. Valentina notes: “The staff, especially reception staff, are some of the loveliest and most helpful people. … It makes being far from home easy.”
Who might want to look elsewhere?
If you prefer independence and self‑catering, this residence may not be ideal. The price includes meal plans, which means you have less control over what and when you eat. Alexandre Moreau’s review mentions that “the food could be a bit better sometimes, but it’s still good, especially on Fridays.” If you are a picky eater or have dietary restrictions not easily accommodated, you might find the meal structure limiting.
Budget‑conscious students should note that the minimum monthly price of €1,425 is significantly higher than the city’s lowest reported student accommodation price of €232 (indicative — confirm with the operator). That low figure typically refers to a shared room or a private room in a distant neighbourhood. Still, Xior Campus UEM sits at the premium end of the market. If your priority is saving money, smaller private studios or shared apartments in Getafe or central Madrid will be cheaper.
Students who need to be in central Madrid daily should consider the commute. The residence is not on the metro; buses connect to nearby metro stations (e.g., Colonia Jardín, then Line 10). The journey to Sol or Moncloa can take 40–60 minutes each way. If your classes or social activities are concentrated in the city centre, the location may feel isolated.
What residents say
The three Google reviews provided give a balanced picture:
- Vanessa (5 stars): “I stayed at Xior for three years, and overall, it was a truly positive experience.

- Alexandre Moreau (4 stars): “Great experience at XIOR Strong point: you make friends very quickly, the atmosphere is really nice. The reception staff and everyone working there are super friendly special thanks to the cleaning ladies, they’re amazing 🙏.

- Valentina (5 stars): “The staff, especially reception staff, are some of the loveliest and most helpful people. It is very convenient due to it’s location next to the university but also the services included make it very convenient in general to get adjusted. It makes being far from home easy.”
Common themes: friendliness of staff, convenience of location, and a strong sense of community. The only mild complaint is about food quality – generally considered good but not outstanding.
Price positioning
The monthly price range (€1,425–€2,050) places Xior Campus UEM well above the median for student housing in Getafe/Madrid. For context:
- The lowest available student accommodation price in the city (across all 97 properties listed) is €232 monthly (indicative — confirm with the operator). That figure likely represents a bed in a shared apartment or a very basic private room.
- The average price in Getafe for a private room in a shared flat is roughly €400–€600. A one‑bedroom private studio in the same area might cost €700–€1,000.
- Xior Campus UEM’s price includes: fully furnished room, all utilities, high‑speed internet, full‑board meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), weekly cleaning, access to gym and cinema, and 24/7 reception.
If you value all‑inclusive convenience and are willing to pay for it, the price aligns with premium purpose‑built residence offerings in Europe. For cost‑focused students, the per‑month figure is roughly 2–3 times what you would pay in a shared flat.
Room types and guidance
Two unit types are available:
- Shared room – typically a twin room (two beds) with shared bathroom and kitchenette (though meals are provided). This is the most affordable option, starting around €1,425 monthly (indicative — confirm with the operator). Suitable for students who don’t mind a roommate and want the social aspect.
- One‑bedroom (1B) – a private studio or one‑bedroom apartment with own bathroom and often a small kitchenette. Prices reach up to €2,050 monthly (indicative — confirm with the operator). Ideal for those who prefer privacy and quiet.
Both types include access to all communal facilities. The shared room is likely to sell out faster due to lower price. If you want a one‑bedroom, book as early as possible to secure a unit.
Booking timing
Availability starts 1 September 2026. For September intake, the most competitive period is November–March of the previous year (late 2025 to early 2026). Many students booking for EU universities reserve spots 8–10 months in advance. Xior Campus UEM tends to fill up quickly because of its direct on‑campus location. If you wait until summer 2026, you may find only the highest‑priced units left, or no availability at all.
Recommendation: Aim to secure a reservation by February 2026 at the latest. Use the on‑site assistant on the platform to check real‑time availability and any early‑bird conditions.
