| Review: | great experience I have just come back from a 6 week stay in Madrid and I can honestly say that inhispania made the whole stay an unforgettable one. I saw the negative review below and I cannot believe that we went to the same school. The school is run by young people and has a fresh and inviting feel. Also I had a bit of a bad experience in Madrid ( completely my own fault- my bag with my wallet and Passport got stolen because I left it unattended while having drinks in a bar) and the school was extremely helpful. It’s not easy being in a strange city when you have lost all your money and ID. They even helped me out with a bit of cash and helped me stop all my cards, find the closest police office and the embassy. All I can say is that I will always think back very positively about my time at Inhispania. Accommodation was good (I stayed in student apartment, -no frills but good value. We were in the very centre of Madrid within 5-10 minutes walking distance of all the going out places and the school) I am sure there are more posh schools in Madrid, but I would not want to have been anywhere but there. Also- there is a free internet café at school as well as free wifi. Very practical. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Madrid I found Inhispania at the internet and took a course there in January and February this year. First of all, I would like to say it was a great experience. Teachers very helpful and nice. Sometimes we went out with them after class. I met a lot of people from many countries and made plenty of new friends. I love Madrid. Nightlife is good, people go out every night-sometimes we had trouble to make it for school the next day. I will definitely go back. The room I had with Inhispania was in Gran Via, which means just a 5 min walk to Malasaña and 10 min to Huertas (the areas we used to go out) I shared with other students of my age. Rooms were clean and apartment had a good atmosphere, even had wifi. Hasta pronto Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Very Disappointing Organization My experience at Inhispania was very disappointing. The classes were okay, however, the 'Survivor' class was a waste of time and money. As the title of the course indicates, it was meant for students who had little or no knowledge of Spanish. The instructor was completely unprepared. It actually seemed as though he had just woken up and didn't really know where he was. He would sit on the desk slumped over, speaking some what quietly, but very fast for about an hour. Every now and then he would ask us something. This is obviously not a great teaching method for most people, especially those who are begining language learners. On the other hand, my regular class instructor was very nice and helpful. Concerning the accommodation, the organization was awful. The quality of the flat was not terrible. It was pretty noisy and messy. However, that was to be expected in a shared housing arrangement in the center of Madrid. The problem was primarily with the coordination of the reservation system. The school and the owners of the accommodation were very unprofessional. For example, many people who reserved single rooms ended up with doubles. They also changed housing arrangements with little or no notice. In my case they gave my flat mate and me less than twelve hours notice to move to another flat. This notification was given to us on a Friday night after 9:30pm. We were really given no explaination either. Needless to say we were very angry. The next day when my Spanish friend spoke with one of the accomadation employees, he indicated that Inhispania is know for providing poor housing and told us a story about one student who complained about her accomadation and was then given a refund and asked not to return for her classes. If this is true, than I guess what happened to me was not so bad. As a result of these experiences, I do not recommend this school. Comments [ 0 ] |
