thankyou for taking the time and effort looking for the accomodation. I'm sure Matt will be looking at these places as soon as the voting closes and he knows who's likely to be attending. <img src='http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good:' />
Many thanks for taking the time to source rooms for us. We don't need to all be in the same hotel. As long as they are in the same town will do usually. We tend to do a bit of a pub crawl at night anyway sampling plenty of ale! Monschau was a good starting point but mainly because I have been a few times and know that bikes etc would be safe at night. Once we have a few more definitely signed up and firm dates then I will be asking for help over the water in finding a place we can all get to easily and stay within walking distance of each other. I have stayed at the Hotel Royal all the times I have visited. Did they say how many they can accommodate?
The hotel has contact to the nearest hotel (i think the Burghotel) where more carpes can to sleep and in the morning can have breakfast with us.
As a group, about 20 people, we will get 10% discount off the price
The hostel (Jugendherberge Monschau) in the old castle with dorm rooms and bunk beds is also not far. There are also beds available and the hostel costs for Half Board about half price from the hotel.
It seems that given the number of votes, Monschau will be the chosen destination fot the RTT. When will the polls close so that we can finalise the dates too?

Matt suggested leaving the poll open until the end of the month Ali. I don't think there'll be any more votes now though, given the time the polls have already been running.
End it this weekend Studders? Aim for 13th July for 5-7days? Would like the Hotel Royal although the one with the pool sounds nice and Simmerath is only up the road but Monschau would be a better bet for the evening frivolities <img src='http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Looking at dates etc how about arrive Monschau Sunday 14th and depart Friday 19th. This will give folks days either side to do their own thing if they like. Discuss?

Sounds good Matt. I see that on the Royal's website they have a special offer - arrive on a Sunday and get 5 nights for the price of 4. That would tie in with your suggestion. They also have an offer of 4 for 3 if you arrive on Monday.

Could you ask if the Hotel Royal is available Sunday 14th for 5 nights. I will ask Studley to put up a list for numbers wanting to attend. The hotels website has 5 nights for 4 on offer. Could you also ask a price for single occupancy. Some people don't like sharing a room. Me included <img src='http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I don't want the world knowing I snore!!
Again thanks for the help. Ask the Royal to book it for the 5 nights and we will get numbers as soon as possible. I for one will have a room for myself so there's one definite booking. We will sort out deposits etc when the other thread starts. I'm sure we can get 14 rooms filled!
