Meeting documents - Hotel reservation form
There are some difficulties in finding hotel rooms in Brussels for the dates of our Executive Committee and merger assessment meetings (24-25/4/2012 and 26/4/2012 respectively). This is due to a particularly large trade fair, which is taking place in Brussels that week.
Sites such as www.resoltel.be and others can assist you in finding a room in Brussels, but only very close to the meeting dates when block bookings for the trade fair end, otherwise the prices are double to triple of what they should be.
The EPSU secretariat has therefore made a block bookings for the nights of 23, 24 and 25 April at:
Hotel De Keyser - De Keyserlei 66-70, 2018 Antwerp
146,- Euro single room
166,- Euro double room
Buffet breakfast included
Hotel Hyllit - De Keyserlei 28-30, 2018 Antwerp
161,- Euro single room
Buffet breakfast and Wifi included
Both hotels are located within very short walking distance from Antwerp Central Station which has a regular train service to Brussels North station (+/- 30 minute journey on the train schedules in appendix and available at http://www.b-rail.be/main/E/) which in turn is quite near to the ITUH where the Executive Committee will meet. For more information I refer you to the appended train schedules and area maps.

As the overnight accommodation cost is slightly higher than usual (160,- Euros per night breakfast included) and as there is the additional travel cost between Antwerp and Brussels, EPSU will exceptionally provide a ‘per noctem’ compensation for those of you staying in Antwerp. This compensation will amount to 50,- Euros per night, for a maximum of 2 nights and is available to titular and substitute members of the EPSU Executive Committee. Members eligible for financial assistance will be compensated on a case basis.
Yours sincerely,
Carola Fischbach-Pyttel General Secretary
