This is true, I just spoke to the hotel people. So if this 1 Euro makes
a big difference -- you can reserve the room in the normal way.

This is incorrect. The 79 euros price per double is only valid on
weekends, that is Fri-Sun and thus does not really work if you want to
attend the conference.
Also, the conference special offer does not imply that they have to
provide the absolute cheapest prices, they do make things more
convenient for the conference though.

Other clarification -- there is a mistake in the registration form. Kit
already asked about this.
I just doublechecked with the hotel and yes the no charge cancellation
works up the the day before the room is booked.
If you notify the hotel a day before you are due to arrive and make sure
it is before 16:00 local time -- you are fine, the cancellation does not
cost you anything.
