Maemo Summit 2008/Accommodation
How are you sorting out your accommodation for the Maemo Summit 2008. Share tips and details!
Note that OSiM World and the Maemo Summit are happening in very different and distant parts of the city. The recommended location is in Berlin Mitte, close to the Maemo Summit and, well, in the Mitte of Berlin. :)

Host a Maemo contributor
Some people living in or near berlin (including me :)) could provide accommodation in their residences. I think I have space enough for two people... An other idea would be something like: [1] --jukey 15:24, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Affordable hotels
People who may want something a bit classier than a hostel (presumably not sponsored by the Maemo Software Team) may be interested in this list of hotels which should be near the venue. For example, Ibis Berlin Mitte has rooms for about 74 EUR/night. --Jaffa 20:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Here is an Accor hotels search for hotels near the c-base. The cheapest one is Etap Berlin Potsdamer Platz at 65 EUR/night, Ibis is second at 75 EUR/nigh. The prices are for the whole 5-day stay; if you stay for only 3 days, Ibis is more expensive per night (but the total is still under 375 EUR).
Pure luxury
If you really need it a hint could be Hotel Palace, the venue of OSiM World.
Sponsored participants
Participants with a sponsorship covered by Nokia need to book their accommodation themselves. They need to pay in advance and claim their expenses to Nokia afterward, presenting the invoice paid. For budgeting purposes, please tell how much is your accommodation to Quim as soon as you know it.
The limit of accommodation costs covered by Nokia is 375€. This reference amount comes from a rough calculation 5 nights * 75€. Feel free finding other combinations as far as you get your budget within the limits.
