Yes, there’s always a certain pct. of cancellations.   If you go during the week (M-F), I would say you have a pretty good chance of finding a room…  Especially if you are going solo.  Try hitting these places – near the fest grounds, and I think you have a pretty good chance of getting a room via cancellation on weekday mornings:
 
 Hotel Jedermann
 Hotel Kurpfalz
 Hotel Amba
&nbspension Seibel
 

Folks i used to have a referal for a room…. i have helped numerous Oktoberfest folks and that Hostel is basically sold out through out the season. Any Eurotrippers.. meeting for a beer during the fest?. would be nice to to actualy get to meet some of you in person and have a beer. [email=islandzman@netzero.com]islandzman@netzero.com[/email]
Yea, if your staying anywhere between the 27th of September, to the 8 of October.. they are sold out. Hope you guys get out out there and have fun, safely.

Guys.. if you have leads on hotel rooms… let someone know.. .. there are a lot of folks out there looking for rooms… I have actually filled up the Hostel at which i will be staying with a bunch of prospective Beer guzzlers.

Normally I am able to find my own accommodations through booking.com or venere.com or eurocheapo.com
Great websites
this year I couldn’t find anything within budget

So I went to info@statthotel.de

And they are an intermediary but I got a nice room with a minimum deposit close to the festivities.

If you are having problems finding a place contact them, I think they will do well for you,

Yes, a very good web site and group of people…
