| One option which often remains unnoticed is the possibility of staying in an apartment rather than a hotel room. The difference is that a hotel room commonly will have a fridge that is mostly stocked with expensive drinks and has no facilities for cooking a meal and frequently no facilities for doing the washing. Up-to-date hotel rooms have a "bar fridge" that is equipped with sensors and is completely filled with things that you have to pay for, if any of them is moved.
Rented apartment will have a fridge that is fully empty for you to stock food. It will have a kitchen supplied with all the necessary where you can cook. Some rented apartments have a washing machine and a dryer, but it is commonplace to have communal facilities for washing clothes. In any case, there will be some option for washing clothes that does not cost much.
Another significant difference between rented accommodation and hotels is the layout which is largely determined by the size. An apartment may have separate rooms divided by walls. Thus, some apartments may have two bedrooms, a kitchen area, and a lounge separated from the rest of the apartment. This makes it possible to arrange a business meeting in the lounge area while somebody is having a rest in one of the bedrooms. There is a significant difference between having a business meeting in the lounge area of an apartment and in a hotel room.
Rented apartments frequently tend to be a lot more expensive than hotel rooms, because they are much more spacious because of the kitchen area. However, by cooking in the kitchen of rented apartment you can save a good deal on restaurants. One more way to save money is to use some inflatable camping beds for four people to sleep in an apartment that is designed for two. However, landowners try and discourage this by providing cutlery for two people and not having spare towels, blankets, etc. On the contrary, hotel rooms often have an over-supply of towels and blankets, since it's easier to just fill every closet with them than to handle requests from customers in the night.
