We pick up your boxes at Xior Madrid Retiro, store them over summer and bring them back in September

If you live at Xior Madrid Retiro, on Don Ramón de la Cruz, in the Salamanca neighbourhood (close to IE University's Campus María de Molina), your academic year wraps up at the end of June and the room needs to be cleared out. We come to your door, load up boxes and suitcases, store everything until September and bring it back to your new address. From €39/box; a whole room, €240-300 for the summer.

Why the end of June is the date that matters at Xior Retiro

The standard across the sector in Madrid residences is clear: StepHouse Plaza España's official price PDF sets its full-year contract at 10 compulsory months, from 1 September to 30 June. Xior Madrid Retiro follows a similar pattern for full-year contracts, though the exact date can vary depending on your stay type: check your own Xior contract to confirm your move-out date before booking.

The practical result is the same across every Madrid residence: move-outs pile up between late June and early July and slots fill up fast. Booking 2-3 weeks ahead secures you the time slot you actually want.

How it works at Xior Retiro, step by step

1. Message us on WhatsApp with the date you're leaving Xior Madrid Retiro and roughly how many boxes you think you'll have.
2. We confirm a fixed price and a time slot. You book with a €20 deposit (deducted from the total).
3. On the day, we come up to your room — no need to carry boxes down to reception yourself. We label everything with your name and load it up.
4. We store your things at our Madrid warehouse for the whole summer (insured, under contract).
5. In September you tell us the day and your new address: we bring it right to your door — a new flat, another residence, a colegio mayor.

How much it costs to store your things for the whole summer

Price per box, for the whole summer, VAT included. Each box fits 8-9 kg (clothes, notes, shoes, room decor).

And if you're also moving to a new address in September, our move + storage combo gets you 15% off the moving service. You can check the full storage price table and try the box calculator to work out your exact total.

Compare: storing with us vs keeping the room over summer

Xior Madrid Retiro has a reference price from €1,530/month (according to residenciasuniversitarias.es). Keeping a room booked just so you don't have to move your things costs, across many Madrid residences, well over €1,500/month. Storing a whole room (8-10 boxes) with us costs €240-300 for the entire summer — not per month.
