Accomodation
DISCLAIMER: The local organizers have done their best to ensure
enough rooms in hotels for conference participants who quite possibly
have different budgets, preferences, and expectations. However, we
cannot guarantee your satisfaction and, as we do not run any hotel
ourselves, we cannot help you in finding a room if you decide to leave
your reservation for the last minute. NOTE: The end of August is a busy
period in Uppsala, and it may be nearly impossible to find a room at
all if you do not make your reservations in time.
The following is a list of the hotels which have rooms reserved for
the conference. Give the name of PLI 2003 when you make your
reservations, so that you get the conference price. Please
note: the number of rooms listed are those initially reserved, not
the number still left. The deadline for the reservations varies with the
hotel. After these dates, there may still be rooms available, but there
is no guarantee.
(A complete list of hotels in Uppsala can be found
here.)
Note that all the hotels below are in the town centre, and the
walking distance from the conference location to any of the hotels is at
most between 500 and 1000 metres. The list is in approximate increasing
order of distance from the conference hall (Universitetshuset).
(There seems to be some sort of caching problem with the map links
if you use the Explorer or Opera browsers: once you have looked at a
particular map, the hotel symbols are not updated when you look at other
maps.)
- Akademihotellet
[Direct link]
[Map]
Small hotel in the old part of the town, just by the University
Library and a stone's throw from the conference hall. Wireless
internet connection in all rooms.
This hotel has no more vacancies for the given period, we have
been told.
- Hotel Muttern
[Direct link]
[Map]
Small but modern and comfortable (and hexagonal!) hotel only
five minutes' walk from the conference hall, in a pretty area
beside the Observatory Park and the old cemetery. No smoking.
Pros: Lies just on the edge of the oldest and most
central student housing area, if you want to see some of the local
student life or gatecrash a corridor party.
Cons: Not so close to the town centre as the other
hotels.
It is now past the final date for the PLI reservations at this
hotel. A few rooms may still be available at standard prices.
