I slept well. Maybe I had enough good Belgian beer to sleep well 🤣
MattJ
10:10:41
I have to say it was pretty consistent with my expectations of a budget hotel (which I have always seen Ibis as, despite the "Ibis Budget" brand) (and despite it not being *that* cheap, due to being in the centre of Brussels)
MattJ
10:12:40
I've definitely stayed in hotels that folk would consider worse than that, for summit/FOSDEM. But generally the better hotels cost a lot more.
MattJ
10:13:11
We should work out the group booking stuff for a hotel well in advance next time, possibly even get quotes from multiple hotels before we commit
Alex_
10:17:21
When we host the summit in a conference room in the hotel again we could also consider staying outside of the center at lower rates. Maybe close to the University for FOSDEM. I assume there are nice bars and restaurants as well. And good public transport when we want to go to the center.

would you mind to add it to the pad suggestions?

or incl this combination to get better rates
Daniel
10:20:20
Does anyone have any experience on whether this actually saves money?
MattJ
10:20:33
Which "this"?
MattJ
10:21:09
Travel out/in to the city each day was a bit annoying, and costs. I definitely spent a lot less on public transport this year.
Daniel
10:21:09
Group bookings
MattJ
10:21:30
Group bookings... in my experience there is usually some saving, but it's not a massive difference
MattJ
10:21:53
I still have ended up at other hotels in the past due to price
Daniel
10:22:08
I was happy with the looking. And I'm happy to continue making my own decisions wrt the hotel
Daniel
10:22:36
I think I spent less money on a nicer hotel.
Daniel
10:22:52
But nice is obviously subjective
Daniel
10:23:03
*with the location

I remember that I got the conference room for free many years ago because many people stayed there.
And discount on rooms usually can be negotiated as well, assuming they are not booked because of other events.

I think the biggest issue with the price here is that this hotel is within the city centre, indeed. Prices from long ago are not representative anymore. Hotels are much more competitive and there generally is no reason to give stuff away, I think.
