Hi Folks,
Say, I thought I'd let you know that we've now booked about 20 people from CodeWeavers into the Rex Hotel:

The say they have more rooms at the rate they quoted me (120 CHF), so others might want to investigate.
I have no reason to think that the Rex is particularly bad or nice; There were plenty of other places in town, some that looked nicer; the Rex has the main quality of having replied to my email <grin>.
There are some hostels in town that are much less, and a few less expensive hotels around, as well as a number of other, probably nicer hotels. The one thing I found was that there was nothing but quite expensive (and full) hotels near the Google offices, so a 15 minute tram ride appears to be a must no matter where you stay.
At any rate, I'm looking forward to seeing you all; I'll see if we can't find a bar near the Rex we can propose as a meeting place for Friday night...
Cheers,
Jeremy
