Carlos Iii

We were delighted, the receptionists fantastic, the hotel well located and clean, the breakfast good. We had to go back to Getafe in April and we went back to H. Charles III.

It is located a few blocks from the train station, which is barbaric if you move by public transport. The rooms are clean, with a shower that complies and a comfortable bed. The style is a little old-fashioned, the artificial light doesn’t reach and there is no fridge, so it can be uncomfortable if you plan to stay for several days. But if you are looking for something simple, well located and functional, it can help.

I lived in Madrid for 20 years and had never visited Getafe. And now, here I was staying in the "Hostal" Carlos III, in Getafe and my first impression upon arrival was "this is really nice". The receptionist was friendly. I went to my room. A very brown room. Brown curtains. Brown bed thingies. Brown artwork on the walls. You get it: brown. But did I say brown was bad? NO! And the room was big and spacious and the bed and pillows were oh so comfy. For me, there was nothing at all to do in Getafe that night, so I just stayed in my lovely comfortable room. The bathroom was really nice. The shower unit was huge although I never did work out how to turn on the rainfall showerhead. You activate the lift with the keycard for your room and this was the only thing that confused me, although I got it in the end. If you are going to Getafe, I'd definitely recommend.
