RESIDENCIA UNIVERSITARIA RESA CLAUDIO COELLO, Madrid

The property sits on Calle de Claudio Coello in the heart of the Salamanca neighbourhood - one of the city's safest and most desirable residential areas. Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is 2 km away, and the Puerta de Alcalá is roughly the same distance. Within a five-minute walk you will find a wide range of restaurants including Bibo Madrid, Los Claveles Tavern & Music, and several other dining options. The nearest metro stations are Nuñez de Balboa (approx. 5 minutes on foot) and Gregorio Marañón (approx. 10 minutes), giving direct access to the city centre, the airport (via Nuevos Ministerios), and IFEMA. Numerous bus lines stop right outside, making it easy to reach Retiro Park, Goya shopping district, and Las Ventas bullring. The neighbourhood is also well connected for those attending concerts at the WiZink Center or business meetings near the embassies.

The residence offers a range of air-conditioned studios, from compact single rooms to larger studio apartments with twin or double beds. Each room includes a private bathroom with a shower, a desk, wardrobe, and a flat-screen TV. Most units come with a kitchenette equipped with a stovetop, microwave, fridge, sink, and basic kitchenware. A few selected rooms feature a furnished terrace, and rooms on upper floors are accessible by lift. Rooms facing the street (notably those with unit numbers ending in 04-14 per floor) tend to be slightly larger and receive natural light, while some rooms facing the interior patio may have limited daylight. The single rooms are compact and best suited for one person; double rooms are functional, though the beds are narrow and the overall space may feel tight for two. Some rooms have a column in the middle that reduces usable floor area. The property underwent maintenance cycles, so condition may vary between rooms. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.

Breakfast runs from early until late morning and is a self-service buffet offered at the on-site canteen. Guests typically choose a set menu: for example, a hot choice (scrambled eggs or omelette), a cold item (sandwich, granola with yogurt, or pastries), plus a drink (coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or juice). Water is provided without restriction, but the selection is limited - no hot breakfast items beyond eggs, and no olive oil or fresh fruit beyond what is offered. The on-site snack bar and coffee shop are open during the day, and the canteen operates at lunchtime for residents. There is no à la carte restaurant in the evening. However, the surrounding Salamanca neighbourhood offers an abundance of restaurants, tapas bars, and cafés within a short walk, including multiple options on Calle de Claudio Coello itself. For lighter meals, guests can use the kitchenette in their room and shop at the nearby supermarket.

The rooftop swimming pool is the standout leisure feature, operating during the summer season (mid-June to August) daily from 12:00 to 20:00. The pool is free of charge and offers sun loungers and umbrellas; the surrounding terrace remains open until about 23:00 or midnight, making it a popular spot for evening relaxation. The fitness centre is accessible daily from 08:00 to 23:00 and includes modern equipment. For indoor recreation, the ground-floor games room provides billiards, darts, and table tennis, all free of charge. The property also features a shared lounge with board games, puzzles, books, and a TV area. Kids have dedicated outdoor play equipment and an indoor play area. The rooftop terrace also hosts live sport broadcasts on a large screen. There is no dedicated spa or wellness centre on site.
