Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the Maria Cristina metro station (L3) for city-centre access; it is about 10 minutes downhill on foot.

  • 02

    Factor in that the walk back from the metro is uphill, which can be tiring in hot weather or for those with mobility concerns.

  • 03

    Plan meals around the on-site canteen and vending machines, as there is no restaurant or bar on the property.

  • 04

    Request a room away from the road if noise sensitivity is a concern.
