Accommodation

Three arrangements for accommodation in the CERN area were possible:
  • One could arrange his/her own accommodation oneself at the CERN Hostel. Notice that an online reservation form is now available. Alternatively, one could contact the Hostel by email or phone. Rooms can be booked up to six months in advance. It was strongly suggested that one booked as soon as possible (in July, the Hostel fills up very quickly due to the CERN Summer Student Program). Please contact the Hostel directly for any other information.
  • Only for participants explicitly authorized by the organizers: they could request one of the rooms we had blocked at the CERN Hostel. If one wanted to take advantage of this, one had to please click the relevant option when filling up the Registration Form to the Institute (and not to contact the Hostel directly; you did not need to do anything else, you received a confirmation from us around April). Conditions:
    • The number of rooms was limited: they were assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
    • Maximal stay dates: check-in saturday July 16th - check-out sunday July 31st (the Arrival and Departure dates that you indicated in the Registration Form was used for the booking).
    • Single room with shower at 58 CHF per night only. Building 38, 39 or 41 depending on availability.
  • One arranged one's accommodation oneself in the Geneva area. This list of hotels can be helpful. Notice that, on average, the cost of hotels is much higher than the CERN Hostel. The 'commuting time' to CERN from the hotels in the list can vary from ~10min to more than 1h. Indicatively, allow 30-40min from downtown Geneva to CERN.
