Five reasons why should choose to rent an apartment for your stay in Madrid

Many people ask how renting self-catering accommodation in Madrid could possibly better than, say, staying in a hotel. Here are five good reasons why we'd rather rent an apartment anyday!

  • It's better value! If you're concerned about your budget but don't want to stay in a cheap pension, the per person cost of renting an apartment is often better value than other forms of accommodation. This is moreso the case if your vacation is longer or if you're on a business trip.

  • It's more central! While Madrid has many hotels, most of the better quality hotels are not so centrally-located. There are many excellent apartment rentals available near the Retiro Park, the Prado and the Plaza Mayor which will mean you're staying in the best areas.

  • It's real! Experience the authentic Madrid by staying in the centre of this lively city where you can mix with the unique locals. There's no better way of getting a feel for the Spanish capital. You can engage in a little people-watching from the luxury of your balcony.


  • It's more independent! You won't be obliged to eat out at restaurants every mealtime. Why not buy yourself a Spanish cookbook, go shopping in the San Miguel market, just off the Plaza Mayor, and see if you can pick up the flavours yourself? Many apartments will offer balconies or roof terraces offering the chance of al fresco dining in the night air. And as you'll have more privacy, you won't have to bother to say hello or goodbye to the hotel receptionist every time pass through the door of the building!


  • Come and go when you like! With your own set of keys, you'll be free to shop and see all day and go clubbing all night if that's your taste. Come "home" when you wish, and forget about the cleaning lady waking you the next morning! Furthermore you can take your time. In your own apartment, you won't have to worry about breakfast times, and you can bring your own favourite coffee!
