Accommodation in Madrid for school groups

Staying downtown or on the outskirts? This is the big question teachers often ask themselves when selecting accommodation in Madrid for school groups.

Which is the best option? Both have advantages and disadvantages; the key is to analyze and know the needs of our specific group and the plan that we will organize during the school trip. Find the best accommodation in Madrid for school groups in this article.

Our recommendation if you are staying in the outskirts is to hire a private bus to take you to the center and to the excursions; it will be cheaper and faster to move a large group. If you decide to stay in the mountains of Madrid, there are many hostels where you can organize evenings, hire multi-adventure activities and promote the group’ s coexistence. But if you decide to stay in the center of Madrid, it will be better to move around by public transport or on foot. There are inexpensive hotels and hostels where you can stay.
