Please note: This hotel information is a service to aid you to accommodation in Freiburg. We do not assume any responsibility for this information, the booking of hotels is the sole responsibility of the participant. Currently, so-called “housing services” or “booking services” claim to be involved in the booking of hotel rooms for various conferences, claiming that hotel rooms are scarce and bookings should be done via them. Unfortunately, these often turn out to be frauds. We would therefore like to emphasize that the organization office of the Epigenetics Meeting are not working with any hotel service providers.
