Where to stay in Getafe
Getafe sits just south of Madrid, so staying near Getafe Centro puts you within easy reach of the local markets and the CercanÃas trains that connect you to the capital in under 20 minutes. Hotel Getafe is a solid, no-fuss option right in the centre if you want to keep things simple.
If you'd rather base yourself with more accommodation options nearby, Juan de la Cierva offers good transport links and a quieter stay away from the city centre. It's a practical choice if you're splitting time between Getafe's markets and a day trip into Madrid.
