Hotels in Madrid

The most convenient locations are “Plaza Castilla” or “Chamartín station”. The areas are not fancy, but very safe and with a very good access to public transportation, either bus, metro or cercanias. From “Plaza Castilla” there is a direct bus to the UAM campus, and from “Chamartín station” the cercanias train connects direct to the university in 10 minutes.

There are a couple of good hotels at “Plaza Castilla”:

Silken Puerta de Castilla – [link].

Abba Castilla Plaza – [link].

And others good hotels in “Chamartín” is:

Hotel HUSA Chamartín http://www.hotelhusachamartin.com/

However, the public transportation network in Madrid is very good (http://www.ctm-madrid.es/). Thus, any centric hotel is fine regarding commute time to UAM campus, which should be less than one hour from any point and less than 20 min from Plaza Castilla. The cercanias train form “Sol” (the city center) to the university takes 20 minutes.
