Micampus Salamanca

The room had a microwave, fridge, and stovetop, though no dishes, mugs, or cutlery. That seemed reasonable for student accommodation where longer term residents bring their own things. It was quiet and clean, good value, and close to a bus stop. Walking into the city center was easy.

The bus station is very close, so the location worked well for our visit. We stayed three nights in a three bed apartment with friends. Check-in and checkout were straightforward, and the staff were kind. The rooms had heating and air conditioning, which is unusual in Spain, and the showers got hot. Cleanliness was a problem, though. There was grease on the kitchen cupboards, hair on the bathroom ceiling, and grime along the floor and baseboards. I was glad I’d brought my own towel and shower shoes, which I wore around the apartment too. The water temperature also jumped from comfortable to scalding without warning, even though I hadn’t touched the control.

As a solo traveler, I found it just right for me. It’s clean and has what you need for a short city stay. The only possible drawback is noise: with lots of students around, you can hear people in the halls or outside at night. Otherwise, a good place.

The staff were very helpful, and the place is handy for bus stops and a supermarket. It’s mostly students staying there. You’ll need to book a long stay to use the gym, and bring your own pots, pans, and other cookware if you plan to use the kitchen.
