Lodging
Affordable city center hotels are:
- the Apollo Hotel ***, 65 euros/night single room, 85 for a double room (closest to Het Kolpinghuis)
- the Atlanta Hotel ***, 57.50 and 83,50 respectively
- the City Park Hotel *** from 48, 80 euros respectively.
Please take into account that these hotels are fairly small, so book on time!

We've checked at the Apollo hotel. They have rooms available for that weekend, but no discount is forthcoming

Low budget options:
- Catharina Hotel **, from 36 euros, but slightly outside the city center
- Nijmegen has several b&b's, which are usually cheap and simple. They may be further outside the town center however.
