Back to the main website for the Gradient Flows and Variational Methods in PDEs winter school.

We can recommend the following hotels in Ulm. The roundabout prices specified are per night (according to Google, as of 2019-10-03). Ulm can be quite busy in the Christmas season as it has a nice Christmas market (also starting on 25.11.) in front of the cathedral that attracts many visitors:

• Goldenes Rad (full)
• Hotel Bäumle (full)
• B&B Hotel Ulm (from 70 €)
  Close to line 2 and to Ehinger Tor (a public transport hub), not far from the centre.
• ibis Ulm City Hotel (from 80 €)
  Next to line 2 and close to the centre.
• Hotel am Rathaus (from 60 € for a shared bathroom option)
• ibis budget Ulm City (from 50 €)
• Comfor Hotel & Appartement Ulm (from 95 €)
• Ulmer Münster Hotel (from 70 €)
  Really close to the Münster, i.e. Ulm's cathedral. Some people might not like the ringing of the cathedral's bells during the night.
• Centro Hotel Stern (from 70 €)
  Convenient location, close to city center and line 2.
• Economy-Hotel Ulm (from 70 €)
  Caveat: There is not only big shopping malls and discounters in the same street (Blaubeurer Straße), but also red-light district establishments...
• Hotel Garni Lehrertal (from 75 €)
  Basic and not that close to the centre any more, but close to line 2.

There is many more good options that we don't list here. Also Hotels in Neu-Ulm can be suitable, depending on location. Public transport in Ulm/Neu-Ulm (DING) is frequent and reliable. The tram line 2 is the quickest way to get to Ulm University from the city, and it is not hard to get to line 2 from almost anywhere in the city. There is good smartphone apps that cover public transport in Ulm: the official DING app, and the Öffi app (only Android).

In case you travel by plane, there are several suitable airports in a comfortable distance to Ulm: Stuttgart (STA), Munich (MUC), Memmingen (FMM) or Frankfurt (FRA). While Frankfurt is the biggest of the airports, it is also the one furtherst from Ulm and the train ride of 2:20 h is the most expensive (74 € for an undiscounted full-price ticket).
