(as you can > see, there are about half a dozen hotels within 500 meters - I myself > stayed at Hotel Leeuwenbrug in 2005). Actually, Hotel Coen involves a slightly shorter walk. And we used it for FIDS in 2005. So I think it makes sense to have a block booking there. On the other hand, Alison and I stayed at the Leeuwenbrug for a more recent SC22 meeting and preferred it. I am not sure it would work for FIDS, however. A final point: you can take the train without staying at Hotel Coen. Cheers, John.
