The only Madrid airport sleeping pods located airside are at GettSleep, inside Terminal 4 Satellite (T4S), past passport control. These are private capsules and cabins for resting between flights without leaving the transit area: you book a block by the hour, sleep, shower, and head back to your gate. The hotel-style stay inside the terminal starts from €45 per 3-hour block.
One thing to know before you book: GettSleep is airside, in international departures, after security and passport control. You reach it from T4 on the APM automated shuttle train (T4 ↔ T4S, a few minutes) and you need a boarding pass. It is not in arrivals and not landside — if you haven't cleared passport control yet, you can't get in.
What it is: a capsule rest salon, not a conventional hotel
GettSleep is a recreation salon (capsule rest salon) with private capsules, run under a recreation-salon licence rather than a hotel licence. In practice it works like an hourly stay inside the terminal itself: real privacy, a real bed, and a shower, with no need to reclaim luggage or pass security again. The airport operator is Aena; the capsule brand is GettSleep.
The six pod and cabin formats
There are six formats, from the simplest to the roomiest. All are sold by the hour, in blocks from 3 hours, and the prices below are the entry price per 3-hour block:
- Upper Pod — from €45 / 3 h. Single upper capsule, the most affordable option.
- Lower Pod — from €50 / 3 h. Single floor-level capsule, easier to get in and out.
- Upper Cabin Pod — from €54 / 3 h. Upper cabin with more enclosure.
- Lower Cabin Pod — from €59 / 3 h. Floor-level cabin with easy access.
- Upper Cabin Suite — from €65 / 3 h. The roomiest, most enclosed format.
- Accessible Cabin Suite — from €71 / 3 h. Adapted, step-free cabin.
The Pod formats are single-occupancy (one guest). The suites are roomier, but they are not family rooms: if you're travelling with a child, the honest setup is booking adjacent single pods so you stay side by side. Longer blocks are available if you need more hours or an overnight.
What each capsule includes
Every capsule has 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 your phone. This is genuine private rest, not a recliner chair.
The salon also has shared amenities:
- A clean towel and showers with premium toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner).
- A coworking area with high-speed Wi-Fi and universal power outlets.
- A Coffee Corner (bar with high stools) serving coffee.
Why it's the only private rest airside
T4 has day-use rooms like Aerotel Madrid / Air Rooms, but they sit landside (before security or in arrivals), not in transit. Lounges offer recline chairs and a shower — a different product. GettSleep is the only private capsule rest airside in T4S, after passport control, which is exactly why it fits international layovers and long connections without leaving the sterile zone.
