CREATIVITY |
We
offer tuition and housing packages for all our European workshops. Participants
can choose from a wide range of possibilities from hostels, pensions,
to 3 and 4 star hotels depending on location. Accommodations are on a
first come first served basis. Please reserve yours well in advance to
ensure your space.
Participants in the workshop can also make their own housing arrangements.
The difference between hostels, pensions and hotels has to do with the
amenities they offer. The less expensive choices tend to have fewer services
and amenities. Almost all of our accommodations are within 5 - 15 minutes
walking distance to the classroom and some of the accommodations are on
the site of the classroom.
European hotels may not have the same amenities as U.S., such as elevators
and handicapped rooms. If you have concerns about walking, the availability
of elevators or need special accommodations, the workshops located in
the U.S. may be more appropriate.
If you choose the UMelunu Hostel in our Prague Creativity Workshop, our
least expensive accommodations, you will need to take the Metro to get
to class (about a 30-minute ride). Our assistant will escort you to class
from the hostel on the first day of Workshop.
Hostels
Hostels are no frills places in which you often have to share bathrooms
and showers, although you will see that some of our hostels offer private
rooms and private bathrooms. Hostels often offer the opportunity to meet
fellow travelers from all over the world. Hostels usually do not have
phones, TV, or A/C in the rooms though their public rooms usually have
phones and sometimes Internet access and TV. It is imperative that you
arrive before 7 PM at the hostel in Florence to get checked in for the
first night. There is no check-in time limitation at our other hostels.
Nikbor University Residence, our hostel option in Barcelona, can be very
hot in the summer. The rooms do not have fans and the city can be humid.
It is better to choose one of our other accommodations if the heat bothers
you.
Pensions
Pensions are a step up in the accommodations world. They are often small,
family run affairs. There may be some language challenges between you
and the management as some do not speak English. Most pensions have fans
but no A/C (though our Greek pensions do offer A/C for an extra nightly
charge).
Hotels
Hotels (standard and superior) usually have A/C, in-room phones, and various
other services. You’ll want to check each of our listings for what
the hotels offer. There is a big difference in the luxury factor between
standard and superior hotels, though both will typically have English
speaking attendants, A/C, and telephones in the rooms.
