i don't think that is the case at all, except maybe for very busy cities, like paris or london. right now i have either used or booked 2-4-1 and 4-4-2 rates in utrecht, prague, sofia, budapest, helsinki, oslo, tallinn, riga, warsaw and birmingahm, all of these very central hotels. i concur with post above, i think we are taking these for granted, which shouldn't be the case. still, planning a few months ahead you should get plenty of options in every city.
just did a quick research and you still can get 4-4-2 rooms for early july in oslo, stockholm, copenhagen, helsinki, berlin, moscow, lisbon... you can get for august in madrid. 2-4-1 rates usually follow the same pattern.
paris, london and amsterdam are obviously out.
