Cambridge Collaboration Meeting

Accommodation(please book early!)


Accommodation in Cambridge can be fairly expensive. It is advisable to book as early as possible, hotels will fill up. The are four options for accommodation:
  • Hotel : there are a number of centrally located hotels within easy walking distance of Emmanuel College (listed below). All the hotels I contacted have availability at the moment (as of 23/9//2003) but many will get booked up. I would strongly advise you to reserve your accommodation as soon as possible. All the hotels listed below are within easy walking distance of Emmanuel College.

  • Guest Houses: basic versions of hotels but lacking restaurant/bar facilities. All the Guest Houses listed below are within a reasonable walking distance of Emmanuel College. Not all rooms have en suite facilities - so always ask regarding toilet/shower/bath !

  • Bed and Breakfast (B&Bs): essentially single self-contained rooms in the owners home. Usually good value. Not all rooms have en suite facilities - so always ask regarding toilet/shower/bath !

  • College Guest Rooms: ``Undergrduate-style'' Guest rooms within one of the Colleges (often without ensuite bathroom facilities). There are currently 5 such rooms available (all in Emmanuel College). Rooms will be charged at £15-30/night (depending on room). To book please email thomson@hep.phy.cam.ac.uk. Graduate students will be given preference.
