A report from global mobility expert, ECA International found that Riga, the capital of Latvia, offers the best value hotels in Europe with a night in a four-star hotel costing Brits just ?98 on average.
At the other end of the scale, hotels in the Icelandic capital Reykjavik have seen the biggest price increases, rising by ?40 over the last year to ?237 a night on average. The report found that Geneva is the most expensive city in Europe with a night in a four-star hotel coming in at ?292.
Apart from Latvia, Brits looking for a hotel under ?150 a night have several options, including Zagreb, Croatia at ?105 per night, the Portuguese capital Lisbon at ?119 per night and Malta at ?110. Other popular destinations include Prague and Budapest, both of which cost ?133 per night on average.
Hotels in the Nordic and Scandinavian countries continue to be among the most expensive in Europe. The best value in the region is in Oslo, with the Norwegian capital?s four-star hotels costing visitors an average of ?175 a night.
Closer to home, hotels in Paris and London are among the most expensive in Europe, with a four-star hotel costing ?280 and ?251 respectively, whereas a night in Dublin will cost significantly less at ?151.
Steven Kilfedder, production manager at ECA International, said: ?Hotel prices in Reykjavik have risen as demand from tourists and business travellers has outstripped supply in the Icelandic capital, though with the collapse of WOW air and rising prices, it remains to be seen if demand will continue to remain as strong in the future.?
