Check-in and your room
Settling in
Check-in
Check-in opens at 11 AM on Friday. Rooms are handed over at about 1 PM, or earlier if the hotel has them free.
Coming from far?
One room is kept for early arrivals from long-distance places, so you can freshen up before the first session.
Starting early from home?
Come straight to the session. You get your room at check-in time, without missing anything.
Your photo ID
Our team collects your photo ID card on arrival, so the hotel registers your room in advance and you don't wait at the desk.
Single room or extra bed
Rooms are shared. Tell us early if you'd like a single room or an extra bed: it depends on the hotel's availability, and you pay the difference.
Check-out
Check-out is on Sunday morning, by 11:30 AM. Pack and keep your bags together in one place. Two rooms are kept for freshening up before you leave in the evening.
Meals
What the hotel serves

| Day 1 · Friday | Lunch, high tea and dinner |
|---|---|
| Day 2 · Saturday | Breakfast, lunch and dinner, with two coffee breaks |
| Day 3 · Sunday | Breakfast, tea and lunch |
