Accomodation

There are a few relatively cheap ($50/night or less) hotels of one- or two-star class within 15-30 min of walk from the Ioffe Institute. Hotels in the downtown are, as a rule, more expensive ($100-$300/night). In summer, availability of places in any hotel of St. Petersburg is very restricted.

Participants of the conference will be accommodated at three hotels: AKADEMICHESKAYA (NAUKA-1 and NAUKA-2) and at the HOTEL of the Scientific-Educational Complex (NOC) associated with the IOFFE INSTITUTE. To reach the Ioffe Institute from NAUKA-1, NAUKA-2, and NOC one needs about 50, 30, and 10 min, respectively. You can check a list of participants with accommodation places and arrival-departure dates.
