  • In the above tables, only the person having done the booking is fixed in each room (except for Jannis who stays for three nights with Christoph rather than two). All others can move between rooms.

Places to Stay

Below are possible hotels we could stay at. Of course there's also youth hostels and opportunities to do couch surfing. But staying somewhere as a group can be a lot of fun, makes socialising easy and helps finding the venue etc.

  • Hotel Du Congres (alternative URL seems to be http://www.hotel-ducongres.com)
    • We've stayed here twice. It's cheap (approx. 60€ per person per weekend), includes breakfast, free WiFi, twin and triple rooms, is at 10 minutes walking distance to the city centre, and the tram from/to FOSDEM has a stop around the corner. — Jannis Pohlmann 2011/12/31 00:55
    • A triple room is 330€ for 2 nights, that would be 110 per person. People staying until Monday would have to pay 165€ if staying in a triple room. — Jannis Pohlmann 2012/01/08 18:02
    • Christoph says it is great and has great breakfast. It is not as close to the city centre as some of the alternatives. A twin room is 170€ for 2 nights, so 85€ per person. There are no triple rooms. — Jannis Pohlmann 2012/01/08 18:02
    • Appears to be quite cheap, triple room is 160€ for 2 nights, which makes around 55€ per person. It's also quite central but maybe the standard is lower than in the other hotels. — Jannis Pohlmann 2012/01/08 18:44
