The accessible capsule at Madrid Airport is real: it's GettSleep's Accessible Cabin Suite, an adapted, step-free capsule in Terminal 4 Satellite (T4S), from 71 € per 3-hour block. It sits airside, past passport control, for travellers with reduced mobility who need to rest between flights without leaving the transit zone.
One thing up front: GettSleep is a capsule rest salon inside the airport, not a hotel with a hotel licence. Plenty of people search for a “hotel”, so think of it as the hotel-style stay inside the terminal — but with no stars and no hotel front desk. What you book is a private capsule, by the hour.
What the Accessible Cabin Suite is
The Accessible Cabin Suite is the adapted option in the salon. “Adapted” here means step-free access and a layout with more room to get in and move around than a standard capsule.
We don't claim specific accessibility certifications in this article. If you have particular needs — wheelchair, transfer assistance, turning space — the honest move is to contact us before booking so we can confirm the suite fits what you need.
What the suite includes
The suite has the same amenities as the rest of the salon: a comfortable bed, adjustable A/C, a blanket, a reading light, a lockable compartment for your carry-on, a mirror and a charging shelf for devices. Outside the capsule you'll find:
- Showers with a clean towel and premium toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner).
- A coworking area with high-speed Wi-Fi and universal power outlets.
- The Coffee Corner — bar, high stools and coffee.
Where it is: airside, in T4S
Location is the important part — and the honest constraint. The Accessible Cabin Suite is airside, in the international departures area of T4S, past passport control. You reach it only with a boarding pass, after security and passport control. It is not in the arrivals hall and not on the public side of the terminal.
From T4 you get to T4S on the automated APM shuttle train, a few minutes' ride. If your flight leaves from T4S, or you connect internationally through T4S, the salon is right on your route. If your itinerary never goes airside in T4S, you can't reach the capsule — a real constraint worth checking when you plan. We cover it in full in the Madrid-Barajas sleep guide.
Why airside makes the difference
Being airside is exactly where GettSleep stands apart. Rooms like Aerotel Madrid or Air Rooms are landside, in T4, before security. Lounges give you recline chairs and a shower — a different product. The Accessible Cabin Suite is private capsule rest, airside, past passport control in T4S. If you're weighing it against a hotel, we compare the two in the hotel-inside-the-terminal article.
Prices and booking
Pricing works by the hour, in blocks from 3 hours. The adapted suite starts from 71 € / 3 h, and longer blocks are available if you're waiting out a long layover. The rest of the salon starts lower:
- Upper Pod — from 45 € / 3 h
- Lower Pod — from 50 € / 3 h
- Upper Cabin Pod — from 54 € / 3 h
- Lower Cabin Pod — from 59 € / 3 h
- Upper Cabin Suite — from 65 € / 3 h
- Accessible Cabin Suite — from 71 € / 3 h (adapted, step-free)
Travelling as a family? The adapted capsule is single-occupancy, like every capsule in the salon. For an adult with a child, the honest framing is to book adjacent single capsules so the adult stays close to the child. We don't offer a “family room” — the format is the single capsule.
FAQ
What does “accessible capsule” mean at GettSleep Madrid?
It means the Accessible Cabin Suite: a capsule with step-free access and more room to get in and move around than a standard format. For specific accessibility needs, contact us before booking and we'll confirm whether the suite fits your case.
Can I sleep overnight?
The salon runs by the hour, in blocks from 3 hours, with longer blocks available. You can chain together as much rest as a long layover needs, but pricing is by time, not per night.

From 71 € per 3-hour block, with longer blocks available. It's the adapted format in the salon; the other formats start from 45 € / 3 h.
