Futurotel Space Spa Madrid Center
This property is suitable for young, budget-conscious travellers seeking a novel, centrally located stay, provided they are prepared for potential noise and temperature inconsistencies within the pods.
Futurotel Space Spa Madrid Center offers a futuristic capsule experience in the heart of Madrid. Guests sleep in enclosed pods, designed with a modern aesthetic, though some report challenges with internal climate control and persistent noise from fellow occupants. The property features shared bathrooms, which are generally clean but can be insufficient in number and prone to hot water issues. A highlight for many is the vibrant gaming room and communal kitchen, fostering a social atmosphere. Its central location is a strong advantage, making it convenient for exploring the city. While the concept is innovative, guests should be aware of the additional charges for spa access.

Noise & sleep
Noise is a significant issue, with guests reporting excessive noise from other occupants in the capsule rooms and shared bathrooms, necessitating earplugs which were not always effective.
“Que el spa que tiene no está incluido en el precio, que hay mucha gente en a habitación de las cápsulas, hay demasiada bulla cuando alguien tiene que alistarse o salir, hay un solo baño compartido en la zona y es la bulla es demasiada, te ves obligado a usar los tapones de oído aunque ni así el ruido pasa.”
“DIe Kappseln sind nichts für leute mit Platzangst. Man hört die anderen Gäste schon”
“You can hear all the noises from people”
Pod comfort
Guests frequently reported issues with temperature control and ventilation inside the capsules, leading to discomfort, with some experiencing extreme heat or cold. The mattress comfort was generally positive.
“Por la noche solo tenía una sábana para taparme y el termostato estaba a 22 grados. Intenté subir la temperatura mediante el mando del televiso de y solo subió a 23 grados con lo cual literalmente pasé bastante frío por la noche.”
“a kapszulákban nem lehetett egyénileg állítani a levegő hőmérsékletet, és nekem kicsit alacsonynak tűnt a 20 fok, ahogy a közös terek is nekem tul hűvösek voltak.”
“In the capsules there were no air and no option to control the temperature, it started rising and ended up with 29 Celsius degrees with no air, we asked stuff to do sty about that, they didn’t help us, my kid after 30 min inside puked, after that they changed our capsule, was better but we had to sleep with open doors cuz of this poor ventilation inside.”
Privacy
While the capsules offer a degree of personal space, issues with unadjustable internal lights and non-closing lockers were noted, impacting the sense of privacy and security.
“Una luz azul alrededor de la pantalla dentro de nuestra cápsula imposible de apagar y para mi muy molesta para descansar, ni siquiera quitando la tarjeta de corte.”
“there are many small lights in the capsule that don't go out at night, in my opinion too light to fall asleep.”
“the closet where I stored my personal things in didn't close.”
Cleanliness
The property is consistently praised for its cleanliness, including both the capsules and shared bathroom facilities.
“I bagni erano sempre puliti e ben forniti con shampoo, condizionatore, sapone, ed anche crema corpo”
“Facilities were clean and new.”
“New, clean hotel”
Shared bathrooms
Shared bathrooms are a point of contention, with complaints about insufficient numbers for the number of guests, noise, and recurring issues with hot water and malfunctioning fixtures.
“Que el spa que tiene no está incluido en el precio, que hay mucha gente en a habitación de las cápsulas, hay demasiada bulla cuando alguien tiene que alistarse o salir, hay un solo baño compartido en la zona y es la bulla es demasiada, te ves obligado a usar los tapones de oído aunque ni así el ruido pasa.”
“No hot water in the showers”
“In the bathrooms there were an issue with water, some of the showers didn’t work, some sinks didn’t have a proper flow of the water.”
Luggage storage
Luggage storage in vertical, deep lockers was found to be inconvenient and some lockers were reported as not closing properly.
“Y los armarios verticales, los profundos, muy incómodos para acceso y organizar tus cosas. Recomiendo en el baño por área instalar unos estantes por números de cápsula.”
“the closet where I stored my personal things in didn't close.”
Staff & check-in
Staff are generally described as helpful and attentive, though some guests experienced issues with check-in efficiency and keycard functionality.
“lo staff è incredibile, veramente ci ha fatto sentire molto comode”
“El personal dedicado y atento en cada momento.”
“One member of staff was very unhelpful. Early check in costs 11€ per hour which we paid and then the check-in process took more than 30 minutes, so that felt like a waste of money. The staff were unable to give us two functional keycards to our room, they tried on more than 4 separate occasions and each asked us to speak to the next member_of_staff for further assistance.”
Location & access
The hotel's location is highly rated, being well-situated and within walking distance to the city center.
“Cumple las expectativas en cuanto a ubicación, precio y calidad de servicio de sus trabajadores.”
“The place was modern well located, clean and the staff were great.”
“Top Lage, direkt fußläufig ins Zentrum.”
Wifi & working
Connectivity within the capsules needs improvement, with guests unable to use apps or communicate via the capsule monitor.
“El concepto me pareció interesante, pero la conectividad en las cápsulas debe mejorar para tener una experiencia 100% futurista”
“Creo que para poder disfrutar del concepto futurista la conectividad en las cápsulas debe mejorar. Por ejemplo, no fue posible usar las app, nos intentamos comunicar a través del monitor de la cápsula y no fue posible.”
Atmosphere
The hotel offers a modern, futuristic concept with a good atmosphere, including a popular gaming room and useful kitchen facilities, appealing to a younger crowd.
“la sala giocchi molto bella.”
“El concepto me pareció interesante, pero la conectividad en las cápsulas debe mejorar para tener una experiencia 100% futurista”
“Concepto diferente, personas que visitan este sitio son fuera de lo habitual; un encanto. El personal dedicado y atento en cada momento. La zona Game muy chula y la cocina super útil. Buen ambiente y divertido.”
Value for money
While some found the price reasonable for the location and service, many were disappointed by the additional high cost to access the advertised spa facilities.
“Cumple las expectativas en cuanto a ubicación, precio y calidad de servicio de sus trabajadores.”
“Disappointing though that the advertised spa was 50euro an hour. I booked simply to use the pool.”
“in the top you have to pay 40 euros to acces se spa. No recpmend”
The honest drawbacks, from guests.
- poor capsule ventilation and temperature control
- high noise levels in capsule rooms and bathrooms
- shared bathroom issues (hot water, number of facilities)
- extra cost for spa access
