Accommodation options:
UPM has not got any agreement/discount with hotels in the area, but there are plenty of options available in Madrid. Our recommendation would be to look for a reasonable metro connection to Line 6. For example, Cuatro Caminos or Arguelles Metro stations are not far off. The best one is probably the Glorieta de Cuatro Caminos area: Beyond the multiple metro lines, there is a direct bus that gets you to ETSIT-UPM (Bus F).

General information:
Almost all payments in Madrid can be made by card. Although places only taking cash are not unheard of, they are definitely rare. In the worst-case scenario, ATMs are commonplace. Contactless is also widely available.
The best way to move around the city is by using public transport. Public transport passes can be purchased in any Metro station and are also used to ride buses. There are multiple options, ranging from 10 trips to unlimited ones.
