Residencia Universitaria Wunderhouse

Built in 1864 for the Marquis of Villa Magna, Wunderhouse oozes history and culture. The building itself is a historical monument that was owned by the Vatican until 2014. After extensive restorations, it opened as a student residence in 2015. Wunderhouse blends history and modernity like no other student property.

Wunderhouse has a great location in the heart of Madrid

Wunderhouse has a great location for you to enjoy the best Madrid has to offer. The property is located in the central Justicia neighbourhood within a 5-minute walk of three different metro stations (Chueca, Tribunal and Alonso Martínez). Puerto del Sol can be reached on foot in about 15 minutes. 

Despite the central location, the property is located on a quiet side street, giving you the best of both worlds. In your room, you’ll have plenty of peace and quiet to study, but at the same time, there is a wide range of things to see and do just a few steps away from your home.

From Wunderhouse, you’ll have great transport links to your university too. Universidad Pontificia De Comillas De Madrid is less than 20 minutes away on foot. If you take the metro, you can reach Universidad Politécnica Madrid (UPM) in 25 minutes and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in 40 minutes. 

Staying at Residencia Universitaria Wunderhouse

Wunderhouse has 67 student rooms and you can choose from three different room types: gold, silver or bronze. These three types differ in size, equipment and views, but all the rooms have a private bathroom, a bed and a desk. All rooms also have Wi-Fi, so you can watch Netflix or video call your family as much as you like.

The property has a shared kitchen space which includes five kitchens that can be used by about 10 people at the same time. Great for cooking dinner with your new friends! If you don’t feel like cooking, you can get some drinks and snacks from the vending machines.

Free time at the Wunderhouse

Even though you’ll be studying, you’ll have lots of free time to enjoy student life as well. That has been kept in mind at the Wunderhouse and there are lots of fun things to do between studies. In the heart of the residence there’s a large courtyard which is a great place to relax under the Spanish sun. 

There are also lots of other common areas where you can hang out with your new friends. In the TV room you can choose from over 600 TV channels and in the games room you can have a game of table tennis or table football. If you fancy a workout, head to the on-site gym, which boasts some great equipment and is open 24 hours a day. When you feel like you want to have a night out, you can have discounts in nearby restaurants as a Wunderhouse resident.

There is an on-site laundry room available, so you won’t have to take your clothes to a launderette. The self-service laundry room is available for residents to use 24 hours a day. There are also dryers in case you need to get your clothes dry in a hurry.
