Methodology

Each price is the cheapest available night for one adult on Booking.com, queried for a check-in date roughly 30–60 days out (this run: check-ins between 11 July 2026 and 10 August 2026), last collected on 11 June 2026. City and country averages include only places with at least three priced hotels. Sold-out properties are excluded from the averages rather than guessed at. Prices are converted to euros by Booking.com and will vary with season, weekday, and events — treat the table as a comparison between cities, not a quote for your dates. The directory behind the numbers is documented on our methodology page; the cost structure of the format is discussed in how much do capsule hotels cost?
