Maemo Summit 2009/Accommodation

Revision as of 19:59, 1 September 2009

We should offer people a range of accommodation options, from low-cost youth hostel beds to cheap hotels. Encourage people to stay close together.

Checklist

• Draft recommended hotel & hostel list
  • HostelWorld: a reliable website where you can find cheap hostel. You can see on the map where they're placed so you can choose one close to the Summit.
  • Ibis Amsterdam City West: for the sponsored participants and the big bunch of people happy with a price around 65€/night for a double room.
  • Art Hotel Amsterdam: recommended to those going better for a 4 star hotel.

• Block book and/or obtain group rates
  • Requires visiting hotel, asking for accommodation manager, and negotiating a group price.
  • Sell the conference as important, high visibility, and argue that being a recommended hotel being a benefit for the hotel

• Put hotel list online
• Book hotel rooms pre-paid for sponsored attendees, maybe?

Who needs a room?

Please say if you prefer a hotel (or are happy with a hostel), if you need a double room (i.e. because you're bringing your wife/gf) or a single (if you don't want to share) or shared (if you're happy to share).
