Intel hotel right infront of Betty Boop has a very nice central location and semi-cheap. Clean bed which is all I am after really. When will you be in the room other than to sleep?
I was just there Jan. 16. Was around 130 euro a night for 6 nights and 75 euro deposit.
I usually walk-in with no reservation as you need a CC to make a reservation over the phone and online. Walk in the revolving doors, pull out my passport. I ask for the rate for 5 nights when she gives it to me I notify her i do not have a credit card and if its possible, knowing full well it is, and she replies yes with 75 euro deposit cash and pay the full stay in cash upfront. No problem.
I check out and they give me back the 75 euros in cash.
I think you have a solid plan hoping for the best and prepared for the worst. Your last resort should be a hostel IMO.
obviously money is no issue. Like gaius said thats what they want, your cash. Try and be presentable don't puff before you check in that might turn them off thinking you will rape the shit out of the room.
I hope to see you there Snype and kick it irl. I enjoy reading your tutorials, really helpful for nubs like me.
I will know if I can make it the closer we get to the date and I will confirm here first but I look forward to meetin you at the pre-event screenage gaius, do you body search for wires? no homo lmao.

you can pay the 20% resevation by prepaid cc and the rest is expected in cash at check in, i used these before. not the cheapest, but still not bad having your own place.
