When relocating to Madrid for work—whether for a few weeks, several months, or a longer professional project—one of the first decisions you must make is where to stay. The city offers many accommodation options, but the two most common are: a hotel or a mid-term apartment.

Both have advantages, but the right choice depends on your work needs, lifestyle, and the length of your stay. This guide will help you understand which option suits you best, and why more and more professionals are choosing mid-term apartments like those offered by Caterina House.

Hotel: instant comfort, but limited for longer stays

Hotels are great for short business trips thanks to services such as:

• 24/7 front desk

• Daily cleaning

• On-site breakfast and restaurants

• Central locations

However, during longer work stays, several limitations appear:

Limited space

Hotel rooms are often too small for remote work or daily living.

No kitchen

You depend entirely on restaurants, which becomes expensive and impractical.

Less “home-like”

Staying in a hotel for weeks can feel impersonal and less suitable for concentration.

Higher cost for longer periods

Nightly rates quickly add up, making hotels less cost-efficient for multiple weeks or months.

That’s why hotels work well for short visits but fall short for professionals needing stability and space.

Mid-term apartment: the ideal choice for work-related stays

Mid-term apartments are increasingly popular among professionals relocating to Madrid. They are designed for comfort, productivity and independence during longer stays.

✔ More space and privacy

You can work, rest, cook, and live freely.

✔ Fully equipped kitchen

Essential for routine, comfort, and reducing expenses.

✔ A home-like environment

Helps maintain balance and feel settled during the stay.

✔ Better value for long stays

Monthly rates are far more cost-effective than hotel nights.

✔ Optimized productivity

Dedicated spaces for remote work and video calls make a big difference.

For consultants, executives, digital nomads, or professionals on assignment, mid-term apartments consistently offer a superior living experience.
