dont know to be honest but some of the london lads just had the hotel only in san marino with them so should be ok???Do you have to take the flights or do they do hotels only ?
email them they can only say know!!
I think when the tickets go on sale here they should be snapped up, I'm sure they will have a segregated area when they realise a lot of Irish fans will be attending and have bought tickets here. It seems from the recent run of results that there is a lot more interest in traveling to the game than before. As posted earlier people should try all avenues to get tickets and can't be relying on the FAI.Was reading on the slovakia summary thread that the tickets can be purchased at ticketportal (their equivalent of ticketmaster). I take it they are not on sale yet. When they are on sale are people going to jump in and buy them as we did for the germany game or just hold out on the FAI. Do they fill out their stadium for the games? And even if so will there be more of us actually at the game to suggest the FAI will not be able to meet all requests?
There are 5 of us traveling and we managed to put together a great package before chrimbo:
Flight to Budapest and 1 nights stay in a hotel, 2 nights stay in Bratislava in class appartments, 4 nights stay in Prague in classier apartments then a flight to London and a flight back to Galway with enough time in between for a few beers in London...€470 the lot

Booked our flights before Christmas. Just got around to arranging accomodation. Got a one bedroomed apartment for three of us through the website Dr. O recommended for €80 a night. Looks like it is very central and they were very helpful. Deposit can be paid by Paypal or bank transfer.

Not too sure about booking apartments on the internet, you don't really know
what your getting..
Had a bad experience with an apartment we booked in Moscow a few years back, it was in the middle of a run down estate, claustrophobic and a fire hazzard...
Heard a few dodgy stories about Russia alright but as far as I know the places in Eastern Europe are much better as they are more used to tourists than Russia. The 2 places we booked are below and they couldn't have been more polite, helpful or efficient. While the apartments in Prague were fairly easy to find it was a bit harder in Bratislava but I think we done fairly OK...both of the apartments below cost less than €40 per man per night.

Has anybody any feedback on the idea of getting tickets through the eastern Europe version of Ticketmaster?
Don't forget...up until very recently, this would be regarded as FIVE STAR ACCOMMODATION!!
were staying at the city hotel in bratislava which even has a topless bar!
and the botel albatros in prague cant wait!!
They seem very professional to deal with so far. They have a map on the website showing where each apartment is and they are all within walking distance of the 0ld town in Bratislava. They also have pictures of the interiors and they look very modern and well equipped.
Generally anywhere near the old town in eastern european cities is the up-market area and was the first to be renovated in the 1990's. The dodgy soviet style housing is located further out in the suburbs.
Anyway for €80 a night we will take the chance.

Staying in the City Hotel myself. The topless bar swung it for me.Rumour has it that Babysis or Green Tribe or even AidoM might be doing a nixer there.
Looks a excellant hotel.Its a little bit out from the city but transport should be cheap.
Suggest that when Babysis and GT see thisBear will be going further east for a spell in the concentration camps in Siberia

I was dragged to a topless bar once in England , my mates said it was a great place and wait until you see the girls . Now girls they may have been but that must have been 40 years ago and the sight of a couple of 55 year old topless has put me off the idea of ever going to drink in that kind of a place again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12 of us staying in the Kyjev hotel in downtown Bratislava. Havent booked accommo in Prague, but there seems to be plenty.
anyone else travelling han solo for this trip??
i probably will get a hostel for bratislava for 3 nights if me mates dont go to this one (im heading over the friday, mates flying to prague on the monday)
Stayed there last year. Fantastic location but the hotel was decorated in the 70's to then Eastern european standards and hasn't changed since. Concierge was a massive football fan.
is that expensive, and is there space left?
Its 30 euro per skull per night. It looks like summit out of ballymun past, but the location was crucial. I rang them a few days ago, and it is actually booked out for that w/e, but I found a hotels website that was displaying availability for those dates so i booked it. Not sure if they are still available, but you could try: www.hotelseverywhere.ie
Cant see us being in the hotel long enough to care about the decor. I just didnt want to be staying somehwere 10ks away.
