Summer School - Accommodation
The summer school will take place on the campus of the University of Warwick (online campus map / campus map in pdf), at the Centre for Discrete Mathematics and its Applications (DIMAP), in the building of the Warwick Mathematics Institute (number 37 on the campus map). Both on campus and off campus accommodation exists.
Since the accommodation on the campus is very limited and often expensive, we're providing a list of hotels and guest houses (bed-and-breakfast) in three other locations:
You can see the locations of the hotels on our accommodation map.
The list is for information only and does not imply recommendations. Also, the prices given should be used four guideline only and are subject to change.
Depending on your needs, you may prefer to stay either on the campus, or in one of three neighbouring towns Kenilworth or Leamington Spa or Coventry. All towns are about 10-15 minutes ride from the campus by car or taxi, and convenient public transportation (frequent buses) is also available.
