In-Depth Information
Given the economic downturn, hoteliers may be willing to make a deal. I'd suggest

depending on demand. This makes it extremely difficult to predict what you will pay. For
many hotels, I list a range of prices. If the rate you're offered is at or near the bottom of
my printed range, it's likely a good deal.
As you look over the listings, you'll notice that some accommodations promise spe-
cial prices to Rick Steves readers who book directly with the hotel. To get these rates,
you must mention this topic when you reserve, and then show the topic upon arrival. Rick
Steves discounts apply to readers with ebooks as well as printed books. Because we trust

that discounts understandably may not be applied to promotional rates.

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. For the best prices, always book direct.

scribe the accommodations in this topic. Prices listed are per room, not per person.
When a price range is given for a type of room (such as double rooms listing for
€100-130), 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.
