ORM Booking
During your shift you must book a room at the ORM Residencia. Fill the form here. Where it asks you for the telescope pick "LST". Unless your institute has an account at the ORM you need to select to pay privately, also use this option if you are not sure. The form of payment can be changed on site. You might want to put in the comments you want a room in the annex apartments which are a bit cheaper, see the current rates. If you say nothing, they put you in the main building.
You can book your meals in the cafeteria through this form.
