There is affordable accomodation: nearby gymnasiums where you bring a "bed" and "duvet" and "towel+shampoo" and get by with like 5 bucks a night.

I dont think thats for everyone. Speaking as someone who has done it.

It's an option for those on a tight budget aka "beggars can't be choosers". Hotels are a lot cheaper if you book a (fully) refundable stay months in advance instead of waiting until you have a ticket.

Friends who booked months earlier still paid a bit of a premium. Much cheaper than now of course, but you should still budget for €150/night or so.

Of course not, it's for people who can't spend more than five bucks a night.

Live life, give it a go.

I've done that in the past (I lived in youth hostels for years in fact) but I can't now. Especially because I sleep with a CPAP machine as well.

I was wondering how those work in hostels. I have taken mine with me and gotten one of the eight bunk rooms or so next to an outlet

[wkat4242]

I just don't take the risk of getting hostels. It's not sure you can get a bunk near an outlet, the machine can be messed with or broken etc.
