Where to look in Madrid
Use these established student areas as starting points, then compare each property's rent and route to your university.
Where students live in Madrid
Areas students actually take rooms in, with the buildings closest to each one. Matched by location, so a building appears under the area it stands in rather than the area its marketing claims.
Moncloa and Argüelles
The gateway to Ciudad Universitaria, where the Complutense and much of the Politécnica teach, so the student density here is the highest in Madrid. Metro lines 3 and 6 both stop, and the bus station for the north west is at Moncloa.
- Resa Miguel Antonio Caro Hall of Residencefrom €1,112/month
- Emilia Pardo Bazánfrom €1,745/month
- Galdósprice on enquiry
Chamberí and Ríos Rosas
Just east of Argüelles and considerably calmer, nineteenth century blocks on a grid with good food shops at street level. Favoured by anyone who wants to be near the campus without living in the crowd.
- Resa Vallehermoso Hall of Residencefrom €1,182/month
- Resa Moncloa Hall of Residenceprice on enquiry
- Resa Santa María del Estudiante Hall of Residencefrom €1,206/month
Malasaña and Universidad
The centre of Madrid's nightlife, which is both the attraction and the warning. Walkable to several faculties and to everything else, with small flats and thin walls.
- Maravillasprice on enquiry
- Claravalprice on enquiry
Chamartín and Tetuán
North of the centre around the main northern station, residential and a good deal cheaper than the middle. The Cercanías line to Cantoblanco runs from here, which matters if you are at the Autónoma.

- Resa Chamartín Hall of Residencefrom €1,110/month
- Resa Paseo de la Habana Hall of Residencefrom €1,133/month
Mirasierra, Begoña and La Paz
Half a dozen streets in the far north, around Xaudaró and Manuel Tovar, holding the single largest cluster of purpose-built student rooms in Madrid. Metro line 9 and the Cercanías, and a real commute to anywhere central.

Cantoblanco
The Autónoma's campus itself, north of the city on the Cercanías. Nothing else is out here, so the bargain is the shortest possible walk to a lecture against a train ride for everything else.
- Resa Erasmo Hall of Residencefrom €554.20/month
Aravaca
West past the Casa de Campo, leafy and suburban, on the Cercanías C-7. Quiet, comfortable, and a short train into Príncipe Pío.
- Livensa Living Madrid Aravacafrom €1,079/month
Getafe and Leganés
Separate towns to the south where Carlos III does most of its teaching. Living here rather than commuting out from the centre saves real money and a daily hour, and the flat fare means the distance costs you nothing.

Useful to know nearby
Places students in Madrid actually use. We have no arrangement with any of them.
- Biblioteca Pública Eugenio Trías
A public library inside Retiro Park with study desks, useful for students living east of the centre.
- Abono Joven
Madrid's youth public-transport pass. Check current eligibility and fares with the regional transport authority before budgeting.
- Mercado de Maravillas
A large neighbourhood food market in Tetuán, practical for students living around Cuatro Caminos and the north.
- Madrid Río
A long riverside park and cycle route west of the centre, linking Arganzuela with Casa de Campo.

What to know before choosing a room in Madrid
A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.
Madrid works differently from most capitals because of its transport pass. Anyone under twenty six pays one flat monthly fare for unlimited travel across the entire region, every zone included, so the usual trade-off between rent and commuting cost barely applies. That changes the shape of the decision: a room in Getafe or Alcorcón costs you time but almost nothing in fares, which is why students here spread much further out than they would in London or Paris.

Getting around Madrid
The Metro is extensive, runs until well past midnight and is the default for almost every journey inside the city. Line 6 is the circle and line 3 reaches Moncloa, which together cover most of Ciudad Universitaria. Cercanías is the suburban rail network and is what you need for Cantoblanco, Getafe and Leganés, so check which line serves your campus before choosing a neighbourhood. The night buses, known locally as búhos, cover the hours the Metro does not. Central Madrid is also flatter and more walkable than its size implies, and most of the barrios above are twenty minutes apart on foot.

Frequently asked questions
- 14 buildings in Madrid publish a starting price, from €554 to €1,745 a month, and half of them start under €1,182. The range is wide for a single city: the dearest building starts at more than double the cheapest, so the headline figure tells you little until you have picked an area. Each figure is the cheapest room in that building, so compare the room lists rather than the headline.
- The buildings spread across 8 areas, led by Moncloa and Argüelles, Chamberí and Ríos Rosas, Malasaña and Universidad, and Chamartín and Tetuán. Each is filed by its coordinates rather than by the area its marketing claims, so the table above puts every building where it actually stands.
- Not one of the 34 buildings we list in Madrid puts it in writing. That is a gap in what they publish rather than a bill to budget for, and it is worth asking before you compare two rents.
