“Amazing place, amazing vibe, would definitely come again.”

The best

Funway Academic Resort is a really nice place, with many useful facilities. The location is great, really close to the Metro and additionally there is a Carrefour near the resort for those who'd like cheaper meals, i.e. to get some cheap sandwiches, coffee and drinks. The Resort is easily accessible from Barajas airport with metro and one bus line, which leaves leaves you 3-4mins away from Funway Academic Resort. You can easily get to the city center. The hosts were really nice, the internet connection is good and the whole place is a definitely a vibe, especially for younger people. The room was compact and clean, I was aware that the bed is descendable and it wasn't a problem at all - people should read so they are aware of this. Additionally, the walls are really thin, and you can easily hear stuff from the other rooms and the students' might play music later which can disturb some people - for me, it wasn't a problem. I am writing some of these things just so other people can know what to expect. You can ask the receptionist to recommend nearby places to eat. If you want to use the spa, inform the reception in advance so they can heat it up timely. The pool is not too deep, for an average sized person, except a depth to the half of the body. All in all, amazing experience, if I come back to Madrid I will definitely come again. Not recommended for people who don't feel comfortable/safe to sleep on the bed that descends (in a way you sleep 1 meter above the ground on a bed which has an automated mechanism and hangs on steel ropes).

“Rooftop pool, quirky rooms in a nice working class area”

The best

The swimming pool and it being close to the chaotic Madrid-Chamartin train station are two of the best aspects. The rooms are quirky with electronic Murphy type beds suspended above the seating area of the room but everything else is quite nice and modern.

To be improved

The lodgings are upscale private college dormitory rooms. The downside is the ecological cooling and heating system. You have no control of the temperature in any specific room Gets a bit warm, hot in the summer and the hallways were cooler than the room. My advice during the summer would be to get a room that faces east so it doesn’t get sun all day long

“Budget stay with great location, comfort could be better”

The best

I stayed here mainly for the location, as I wanted something budget-friendly within walking distance of Santiago Bernabéu, and in that sense it was perfect — just a short walk to the stadium, which was a big plus.

To be improved

However, the downside was that the bed was quite uncomfortable, and there was no air conditioning in the room, which made it difficult to sleep since it was over 25°C outside.
