Residencia Universitaria Resa Hernán Cortés - Centro Adscrito a REAJ

The facilities were spotless, and the staff were welcoming and really helpful. A special shout out to Pilar and the gentleman with black curly hair at Reception. One suggestion about the meals: could there be at least one vegan or vegetarian choice besides salads?

The staff were always around and very helpful, the rooms were clean and designed well for students, and the air conditioning was powerful. Wi-Fi worked, and the vending machine coffee was the best, especially for 65 cents. We also had fun with the newer table tennis setup. There's a gym with some free weights that look about 50 years old, plus a TV room with a pool table. The bus stop right outside is handy, and one bus goes straight to the train station for weekend trips. The main issue for us was the bed arrangement. My wife and I stayed 15 days after the university booked this place. Before arriving, I asked them hundreds of times for one double bed. Instead, our room had two separate beds divided by a bookcase. Staff said there was a couples' room, but it would cost 15 euros more per day. That felt like poor service and bad business. I didn't expect much, but this was a real problem. There's no kitchen to use, just a smelly microwave room. Students may want to buy food and keep it in a fridge, but that's not possible. The walls are only a little thicker than A4 paper, so you hear everything from the neighbors. Also, it's a 1.5-2 km walk to the university, which could be rough in very hot or cold weather. If you're a couple staying in Salamanca for two or three weeks for a language course like we were, you can find better places in the center for the same price range. We checked and confirmed it. Still, I liked the table tennis, and the helpful staff earned two stars from me. Hope this long review helps, and have a nice stay.

I've stayed here for summers in Salamanca for years. The price is great, it's fully modern and has air conditioning, and the staff are the best.

Good for a residence. The gym and entertainment room are a plus. Most floors don't have a mini fridge or microwave.
