    ACCOMODATION INFO:

    http://www.citywesthotel.com/
    Offical hotel of the Expo, 40euro per person sharing (twin/double/triple rooms), with a gaming den set up in their function room for after.

    OR

    If hotel is too pricey there is a hostel in town that is nice and cheap!
    Means it's easier access to clubs/pubs/tattoo exhibition the next day etc!
