How to book a hotel room for Flock

[Ruth Suehle]

http://flocktofedora.org/location/hotels/ has been updated with the
following information:

Our recommended hotel is the *Hotel
Diplomat*<http://www.vi-hotels.com/en/diplomat/>;,
Evropská 15, a 10-minute walk from the conference venue. Room rate for a
single or double (two twin beds) is 90 €.

   - Use this
link<https://gc.synxis.com/rez.aspx?Hotel=58025&Chain=14420&ar...
book a room at the conference rate.
   - As with most hotels, you will need a credit card to make the
   reservation, but it won’t be charged until after the stay. Cancellation
   between 9 to 4 days prior to arrival will be charged the first night.
   Cancellations within 3 days prior to arrival and no shows will be charged
   full stay.
   - Remember that if you are subsidized (likely all speakers; schedule to
   be released soon), you will be expected to share a room.

The secondary, significantly cheaper option is to stay in nearby
dormitories. To book a double room in *Dormitory Sinkuleho* (16,5 €/
night), please email Kveta
Mrstikova<http://flocktofedora.org/location/hotels/>with your request.

*Do not wait until the last minute to book your room. *If you plan to go to
Flock, you should book your room now. Last year, many found when they
waited until the last minute, the room blocks were full, and they had to
find other options on their own. This could be even more challenging in
Prague, so do not wait. If you are waiting for the announcement of
speakers, this should happen by May 23.

"If you wish to use the internet in your room, please choose following:
Price with tax
EUR 80.00 / DAY"


We need to pay almost the same as the room rate to get an Internet
connection? Is that something that can be negotiated?

I think that's an error in the site. I've booked my room, and it's 80 for
the stay (16,5/night, which is still crazy, but not 80).

For a change, I've heeded this advice. However, I've received no email
confirmation that this actually worked. Is that expected?

If you reserved at the Diplomat, I got a confirmation, but it took an hour
or two.
