Thanks everyone for all the advice. Really really useful. I'd reiterate that both booking.com and www.accorhotels.comis are good places to look. In the end, I managed to get a cheap deal on a swank 4* hotel through lastminute.com. :) It's funny, since I was planning to stay in a hostel, but it really was the cheapest hotel room I could find in the centre. Now I just have to hope they don't kick me out for not being smart/sober enough. ;) Roll on FOSDEM! Allan On Wed, 2009-01-21 at 13:32 +0000, Richard Ibbotson wrote:
Always a good idea to check the week before just in case there are cancellations....

The Sleep Well hostel is particularly well known for it's ability to screw up everyone else's booking so that a bed might become available.
