This depends on your budget. I would say, on a cheaper budget this would be a good option:
> **[Internationales Gästehaus Jena | JenaKultur Buchungsportal Unterkünfte](https://buchen.thueringen-entdecken.de/jna/ukv/house/Internationales-Gaestehaus-Jena-TTG00020050000740156)**

> Das Gästehaus befindet sich in ruhiger Lage am Waldrand und doch nur 8 Autominuten vom Stadtzentrum entfernt. Das Internationale Gästehaus hält für Sie 49...
This is a bit remote from the city center but a nice twenty minute walk to the Institute where MakieCon is taking place.
Another option is to stay directly at the City centre and take the bus to the Institute which would take roughly ten minutes.
Good hotels in the City Centre would be:
> **[Boutique Hotel Jena - Im Boutique Hotel Eulensteins in Jena erwartet Sie...](https://www.eulensteins.de/)**
>
> Boutique Hotel in der Fußgängerzone im Stadtzentrum, 5 min bis zum Paradiesbahnhof, Bio Vital Frühstück, Familiäre individuelle Betreuung, Moderner Komfort
> **[ibis Jena City](https://all.accor.com/hotel/2207/index.de.shtml)**
>
> Auf der Suche nach einem zentralen günstigen Hotel in Jena? Das ibis Jena City liegt am Holzmarkt und ist der ideale Startpunkt für Sightseeing. Jetzt buchen!
There might be special offers for people visiting our campus according to this:

I am awaiting an answer by our secretary, whether this also applies to MakieCon visitors.

That sounds nice. Would be fun to stay at the same hotel if we are many coming from abroad.

See the final [agenda](https://www.bgc-jena.mpg.de/5632072/makiecon). Note, that although we have several talks, the second most important part of the event is the exchange of ideas between users and developers, and of course among developers as well. Note the Hackathons’s slots 😄
