=== Transportation ===
Both hotels can be reached from the airport using the ''Aircoach'' bus service at 8€/one way, 14€/return. For the full list of bus services, [http://www.dublinairport.com/gns/to-from-the-airport/by-bus-or-coach.aspx bus/coach check the airport site].

Regular bus lines like [http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/16-/ 16] every 20min for only 2.20 euro

Taxi from the airport is estimated at 30-40€ one way. Tipping (10-20%) is optional but appreciated. If the driver offers to take the ''tunnel'', note that it involves a 3€ surcharge.

We recommend against renting a car as parking in the city can be challenging (and also to many people, driving on the left side of the road).

'''NOTE''': VideoLAN does not refund taxi expenses nor car rentals.

Hotel bathrooms are often an exception, providing 110/220V split sockets, accepting US and Europlug connectors (not grounded). They are marked as "shavers only".

At the venue, the '''GoogleGuest''' open WiFi is available at all times.

Most hotels and coffee shops will have available WiFi, but some might require registration.

The airport has a free WiFi network with captive portals.

SIM cards can be freely bought with nothing more than an ID and a card/money.
