The Madrid airport sleeping pods price starts at 45 € for a 3-hour block at GettSleep, inside Terminal 4 Satellite (T4S). The exact figure depends on the capsule format you pick: there are six, from the entry-level Upper Pod to the step-free Accessible Cabin Suite. Everything is sold by the hour, in blocks from 3 h, and you can extend to longer blocks.
GettSleep is a capsule rest salon inside the terminal — the hotel-style stay for a layover, without being a starred hotel. One thing reshapes the whole plan before you read the table: it sits airside, in international departures, past passport control. You reach it from T4 on the automated APM shuttle train (T4 ↔ T4S, a few minutes). It is not in the arrivals hall and not before security; you need a boarding pass to get in.
Prices by format (entry per 3 h)
These are the real entry prices for each capsule, per 3-hour block. They are starting rates; from there you can book longer blocks.
- 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)
Pod-style capsules are single-occupancy: one guest per capsule. Cabin Suite formats are roomier. Travelling as a family? The honest setup is booking adjacent single pods so a parent stays next to a child. There is no separate "family room".
How the hourly model works
It is straightforward: you pay for the time you need, not per night. The minimum block is 3 h, and you extend from there. That makes it the sensible call for a long layover, an early-morning flight, or an awkward connection where leaving the transit zone is not worth it.
If your stop runs several hours, longer blocks are available at booking. The whole point is that you don't pay for a full hotel night to rest three or four hours between flights.
What the price includes
You get more than the bed. With your capsule you have access to:
- 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) with coffee.
Each capsule has a comfortable bed, adjustable A/C, a blanket, a reading light, a lockable compartment for carry-on, a mirror, and a device-charging shelf.
Direct booking vs OTAs
You'll find GettSleep on Booking, Expedia and DayUse, but booking direct on the website is the way to go: the by-the-hour availability is exact and you skip middleman fees. Reserve on the GettSleep Madrid-Barajas T4S page.
