Residencia 12 OCTUBRE, Madrid

Residencia 12 OCTUBRE is a small, non-smoking residence in Madrid, Spain, located at Calle San Basilio 19. It suits travelers who like a more independent stay, since the shared kitchen and shared lounge/TV area make it easy to settle in between sightseeing days. Families are welcome, and the overall setup feels practical for longer visits, especially when you want the option to prepare simple meals rather than relying only on restaurants.

Check-in runs from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM, so plan your arrival window accordingly, and note that parking is not available if you’re driving. Guests mention that the residence can feel more lived-in than hotel-like, with luggage storage and a concierge service helping you manage the logistics of a city break. There’s also a terrace and solarium for downtime, plus fitness facilities are available for an extra charge.

Review sentiment is mixed: the guest rating of 5.4/10 from 20 reviews suggests some travelers found the experience less consistent than expected. Common themes in lower-scoring stays typically relate to comfort and overall value, so it’s worth setting expectations for a residence-style property rather than a full-service hotel.

For landmarks, you’re within about 2 km of Puerta de Toledo and roughly 2 km of the Reina Sofía Museum, making museum days and historic walks straightforward. If you want a broader green break, Retiro Park is about 3.8 km away. Best for families and road-trip friendly travelers who want a calm base with shared spaces, and for solo explorers who prefer to pace their own days around Madrid’s sights.
