Residencia Universitaria Giner de los ríos

Stroll out of your new student accommodation to Plaza Cervantes and enjoy a coffee as you take in the architecture and impressive statue of Miguel de Cervantes. Find out more about the local literary icon at the Museo Casa Natal de Cervantes. Wander the Real Jardin Botanico Juan Carlos I, before going shopping on the Calle Mayor. When it’s time to refuel you can head to Indalo Tapas, and don’t miss the Rosca-de-jamòn as you enjoy a glass of wine at the bar. In the evening, have a drink on the terrace of the Continental Café, or enjoy a honey and goat’s cheese pizza and a tiramisu from Francesco’s.

Residencia Universitaria Giner de los Ríos is based right on Campus Científico-Tecnológico at Universidad de Alcalá, so you won’t have to go far to get to class. To get to the main campus in Alcalá, you can hop on a bus and ride it for 17 minutes, or zoom there for classes in just over 10 if you take your car.

You can wake up to find a healthy breakfast cooked for you, as Residencia Universitaria Giner de los Ríos offers dining plans varying from full board to the occasional meal. But if you’d rather chill out back in your room, you can grab a bowl of cereal and some coffee from your kitchen instead. Freshen up in your bathroom, then connect to the free Wi-Fi to check your emails before you head off to class.

After a busy day at university, you can return home to a spotless room thanks to the on-site cleaning service. Grab a snack from the vending machine and print off your notes from class in the cyber corner, or finish off your work in one of the study rooms. Then, get a head start on your chores using the self-service washer dryer, or head to the on-site shop to pick up some essentials

Afterwards, round up some friends and enjoy a stint playing pool or table tennis in one of the recreation rooms. When hunger strikes, cycle 15 minutes to pick up some foodie treats to take away at Oleoteca Gourmet. After your meal, you can keep on top of your exercise regime in the fitness room, or simply chill out and enjoy a rest in the TV and DVD room. 

At Residencia Universitaria Giner de los Ríos, you can opt to pay extra and have towels and bed linen changed regularly, so you’ll sleep soundly in clean sheets at the end of the day. On-site management and maintenance teams are available to help you 24 hours a day, and you can even borrow laptops and irons from reception if you ever find yourself in need.
