Thanks Quim, the double room is what I have booked for myself. So Im not sure how it could cost €200 to share a room in the D4 whereas you can book a double room for yourself and not sharing for €110. But it doesnt matter, there is the option for both

For example, I took one of the hotels mentioned by the MeeGo team (D4 Hotels Ballsbridge Inn, beside the Aviva) and priced it on Expedia for November 15-17 and the rate is the same as what I paid, £90 (€110) for the two nights.

I checked into this further, and what appears to have happened is that the more expensive rooms (like the executive rooms and the family rooms) have been block booked. If these have been reserved for the conference, that is maybe why it's more expensive. However, cheaper rate rooms are available at the same hotels for those who enquire directly rather than through the MeeGo conference site.

I don't mean this to be ranting or anything, I apologise if it's come across that way . For those sponsored by Nokia/Intel, their employer, etc it doesn't matter, right, cos they aren't paying for it. All I'm suggesting is that for those on a budget they may wish to approach the hotel directly and stay at the same hotel but for half the price as paying for it through the MeeGo conference website. €100 is a big saving, that's a lot of beer tokens! It might mean the difference between someone being able to afford to stay 1 night or 2, so I wanted to mention it in case it helped someone.. thats all
