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 Center Hotel: for the sponsored participants and the big bunch of people happy with a price of ~146 €/night inc breakfast for a doble room with twin beds (should be cheaper for single room)- lardman
- Art Hotel Amsterdam: recommended to those more interested in a 4 star hotel.
- Ibis Amsterdam City West Hotel: A cheaper option, but further out. Price around 65€/night for a double room. I ordered via accorhotels.com and got the price 69/59/59 € for 3 nights starting at Thursday (asys3)
- 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).
