For travel instructions see http://stups.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de/anreise/esbahn.php ------------------------------ Accomodation ------------------------------ We may be able to fit some people into private flats and otherwise there are several hotels, one recommended one is the http://www.hotel-hillesheim.de/ where we are investigating regarding a cheaper group rate. Please register ASAP if you want to benefit. There are also some hotels that are used by visitors to the university and are quite close to the uni. None of us have been at them, so we have no experience of how good they are. 1. Hotel Blättler http://www.hotel-blaettler.com/ 2. Hotel Mooren http://www.hotel-haus-mooren.de/ 3. Hotel Europa can't seem to find a website 4. Schloss Mickeln This one is the guest house of the university in a very beautiful castle. Supposed to be extremely nice, but also expensive. http://www.uni-duesseldorf.de/home/gaeste/schlossmickeln ----------------------- Funding your travel ----------------------- We have a limited budget for funding travels.
