Europe hotel rates fall
Average hotel rates have dropped across Europe this month, but not in all countries.
While a standard double room cost £117 pounds in May, the European average has fallen to £113 pounds per night this month
According to hotel price comparison site Trivago, 35 of the 50 cities compared have seen overnight costs fall at least a few percent, and 11 of those saw rates fall more than 10%.
But, hotel prices in the UK rose in comparison to last month, with several cities reaching their highest price in many months.
Rates in Edinburgh, for example, have reached £132 pounds, up 6% and at their highest point since August 2010 when hotel rates had reached £178 pounds per night.
