>>No, HI hostels are shitty. How so? I hardly stay anywhere else. Cheapest rates you can get, in dorms there are people from all over the world you can have a chat with, breakfast buffet and most often it is very conveniently located. Heck, many have an own bus stop. The only downside I see are the sanitary facilities, which SOMETIMES could need more attention by the warden. Finally, there are times you cannot avoid using YHs, because there is nothing else in the vicinity of 40km - on the Kungsleden for example. Look at the ratings on the HI website, if you want an estimate on what to expect. Nevertheless, you should still ask yourself, if you will stay in YH often enough to make that membership card pay off.
Trains, night trains, flights are only cheap if you book far in advance. A rail pass gives you more flexibility. For some trains reservations must be done. Especially the night trains to/from Eastern Europe. And for some trains you should do it as well, so that you don't need to wait an additional day in Copenhagen, because that @!ยง$#*! EuroNight is entirely booked. Perhaps you should also have a look at the "10 days in 2 months"-option. Please note that there are MANY restrictions on the use of EuRail, so you better look them up beforehand.
