Maybe we should to do that anyway. > https://wiki.debian.org/Brasil/Eventos/MiniDebConfCuritiba2018/Hospedagem It's in Portuguese, but the data are mostly readable for anybody :-) I would just add two requests here: ‣ Exchange rate between Reais and USDollar/Euro/... for better readability for non-Brazilians. As of right now, according to xe.com, it's 3.20BRL per 1USD, or 3.92BRL per 1EUR. ‣ Availability of rooms. How many rooms does each hotel/hostel have? That, together with their prices, distance to venue (or hotel quality, or whatever) can be a guide as to how we would try to fill them up. Of course, I understand you are presenting "public" prices. I guess that, if we are to approach (say) Hotel Nacional (as they are closest) and tell we want to book it all, we might get preferential pricing.
