Reservations for single rooms have been made by us for all the participants at the K2N meeting at "Hotel Belvedere". Therefore, no need to make personal bookings. The K2N meetings will take place in this hotel, in the conference room called "Miorita" (M). If anybody wants to make their own room reservation in another hotel, here is a list of hotels in Cluj.

  • From/to airport to/from the hotel: get a taxi from the main exit hall and ask for "Hotel Belvedere". The tariff would be about 20RON (5 Euro). At the end of the trip, the taxi driver would be able to give to you the receipt. You could cash RON in the airport from ATMs or from the exchange office.
  • From/to downtown to/from the hotel: the hotel is situated on a small hill called Cetatuie from where you have a nice panorama of the town. It's very nice to walk down from the hotel to downtown (10-15 mins) by stone stairs or to come back from the town with a taxi (2-3 Euro).
  • Price for the hotel: 1 single room (incl. breakfast and local tax)+ 1 lunch as buffet + 2 coffee breaks = 65 Euro/day.
