Hotels

Where to stay

On campus, there is only one place to stay, the student residence Residencia Erasmo (1). But availability might be very limited. Also, bear in mind that there are no restaurants (appart from the residence's canteen) open on campus and that last train from the city center leaves at 23:23 from Atocha.


Otherwise, we recommend you to book a hotel near any of the stations of Cercanías train line C4. The station for IFT is "Cantoblanco Unniversidad". From the station it is a 15min walk to the IFT.
Here are all the stations (but please note that the part between Chamartin and Nuevos Ministerios is for the time being closed):


Some tips about areas: 

- Chamartin. Closer to campus, but farther from city center (~7km). A bit industrial.

- Nuevos Ministerios. Mid-way between the center (~4km) and the north. Finantial area.

- Sol. The very city center. Many retaurants, shops and bars around. A few landmarks around. 

- Atocha. Still quite central, but less busy in terms of bars. Next to retiro park and the art mille. 
 

Beyond train connections: 

- Plaza Castilla does not have train, but has a bus (714) to campus (whose stop is closer to IFT). Northern area of Madrid. 

- Alcobendas. It is a separate quiter town, maybe OK if you won't be attending the social activities. There is a bus that connects with campus.
