Nagan-4

I'm preparing a large post about organizational matters. For now, let's talk about accommodation.
I've found what I think is a convenient option: the dormitory of the University of Cooperation.
200 rubles per day. In total, considering that we'll be checking in mid-day on April 30th and leaving in the morning on May 4th, the total cost of accommodation for the tournament will be 800 rubles.
There will be no students around, as they leave for the weekend. Besides us, there will be no one else in the dormitory. They will allocate an entire wing specifically for us. The rooms are for two, three, four, or five people.
The only inconvenience is that the rooms don't have toilets or sinks. However, the dormitory wing is very conveniently arranged, and they are not far away.
The dormitory is clean, there are no bad smells, and the staff is very friendly. You can wander around as much as you like, just buy the security guard some candy.
Most importantly! It's located in the city center, on our Arbat, the main pedestrian street. The city administration is nearby. In May, it's very nice here; you can go for a walk, visit a club or cafe, or just stroll down the street in the evening – everything is close by.
The computer club is also not far away – a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute taxi ride. I think this is a very convenient option.
I ask the finalists and guests to write whether they agree to stay in this accommodation.
Especially for those from St. Petersburg: I can't find apartments for 13 people – there aren't any. There are 3-room apartments for a much smaller number of people; if needed, I can inquire about them.
My opinion: I've stayed in similar hotels. It's cheap and cheerful, plus it's convenient because it's in the city center.
