Of course, I'd expect the hostel to agree to leave some empty rooms if we guarantee ~80-90% occupation. Or, in the worst case, we can pay for some rooms to remain empty so that the hostel is 100% ours. Of course, we would no longer have a clear cost per attendee — But we would have a fixed cost, which is also attractive. > We are expecting all hot meals to be around 7 € per person.
