Price Rankings
To help you easily sort through my listings, I've divided the accommodations into
three categories based on the price for a double room with bath during high season:
$$$
Higher Priced
$$
Moderately Priced
$
Lower Priced
I always rate hostels as $, whether or not they have double rooms, because they
have the cheapest beds in town.
Prices can change without notice; verify the hotel's current rates online or by
email.
Abbreviations
To pack maximum information into minimum space, I use the following code to
describe accommodations in this topic. Prices are listed per room, not per person.
When a price range is given for a type of room (such as double rooms listing for
€100-150), it means the price fluctuates with the season, size of room, or length of
stay; expect to pay the upper end for peak-season stays.
S
= Single room (or price for one person in a double).
D
= Double or twin room. “Double beds” can be two twins sheeted together and are usually big
enough for nonromantic couples.
T
= Triple (generally a double bed with a single).
Q
= Quad (usually two double beds; adding an extra child's bed to a T is usually cheaper).
b
= Private bathroom with toilet and shower or tub.
s
= Private shower or tub only (the toilet is down the hall).
According to this code, a couple staying at a “Db-€100” hotel would pay a total
of €100 (about $130) for a double room with a private bathroom. Unless otherwise
noted, breakfast is included and credit cards are accepted.
There's almost always Wi-Fi and/or a guest computer available, either free or for
a fee.
Hoteliers can be a great help and source of advice. Most know their city well and can
assist you with everything from public transit and airport connections to finding a good
restaurant, the nearest launderette, or an Internet café.
