Hi,
another thing I came across is Hotel Krystal:
http://www.prague-hotel-krystal.cz/rooms/
their webpage says that they can accommodate 250 people in 374 rooms
O.o, which either way I guess should be sufficient for us as some people
will want to stay closer to the city center. Prices 850-950 CZK ~
34.5-38.5 EUR for single room, 1200-1300 CZK ~ 48.5-52.5 EUR for double.
Advantages:
* we can hopefully get quite some people in
* on the way from the airport
* natural park nearby
Neutral:
* still walking distance (although quite long 3.7 km ~ 45 minutes) from
probable venue
** if we will have party near the venue, I think this is advantage
* easy transportation to the venue by public transport
** direct bus line (the one from airport), direct tram lines
** 15 minutes by public transport, something goes every few minutes

** still might be quite crowded in the morning
Disadvantages:
* you have to go to the venue before going to the city center
* quite in the middle of nowhere
Generally I think we should officially recommend something that doesn't
fill up fast. There are smaller hotels nearby but mostly with just few
tenths of beds, so I hope that people will find these by themselves, but
if we would recommend these, people will quickly complain that it's full
already. Even with this hotel, we might need some backup anyway
depending on how are rooms divided.
Comments are welcome, if no objections, will check exact room numbers
and possible discounts tomorrow.
