Recommendation for your stay:
This event is not a retreat (so the local organizers will not stay in the hotel) but if you want to self organize and stay together on Friday or Saturday evening we suggest to choose Corvin Hotel Budapest, they have several conference room to play boardgames and have some fun (and some organizers will join for the social part)!
