I think this can become the cheapest option.  Their rate on their
site is 85Euros for 4-bed apartment.  They only open in July
though.  I know you said the university will be closed already,
but they may not be ready to accept guests.

If they do OTOH, we may be able to get really cheap, because:

  * It's out of their regular schedule, they are going to be
empty anyway.

  * People can bring in their sleeping bags and share a 4-bed
apartment for like 8 or something!

  * It's a bulk reservation and,

  * It's a rather major event in the university.


Anyway, I think the way to approach this is to run a competition
and ask each of the three options to give their best offer,
knowing that we probably have something like 100 people at least,
and that we are going to choose the best offer and reserve it
all.
