Hotel Final Suggestion - Motel One
Posted by Knut on September 1, 2007
After much effort, I have finally received an answer from Hotel Air (see mail as comment to this post).
If you go to their website and try to book a room for the period in question you will see prices in the span of Euro 66 to Euro 73 for a single room. In the group offer they have mailed me, they have raised the price to Euro 91 for a single room, and even added Euro 9 for the breakfast. I called them up, and even if the boss wasn’t there, the explanation was that there is only one or two rooms in the hotel at the prices given on the net.
Given this fact, my suggestion is that you choose Motel One, after carefully reviewing the pros and cons of this hotel. As I see it, Motel One, it the best solution all taken into consideration. That it, if you want to go (stay) with the group at all. Maybe you prefer to find your own hotel in the area.
I have just put down my telephone after a long talk to the manager of Motel One, Daniel Müller, and he has confirmed that we can have double rooms at Euro 59.00, but obviously we cannot book at these prices over the hotel website. I am now waiting for his confirmation on a codeword, and booking will have to be made by email directly to the hotel. In other words; you should not book at the hotel website unless you insist on a single room or higher prices.
This is, IMO, a very, very good price at the lowest level of a single room at the same hotel. So, you will have to live with some extra space for you camera gear
.
In addition; the people at Motel One are very, very friendly and serviceminded.
Beware, there is a catch to these prices. I have said that this group is a group of eminent photographers, and while we are there, we will shoot some pictures from his hotel for him to use. I hope this is ok with you
.
Stay tuned.
Best wishes
Knut
