Meanwhile Tallinn - the capital of Estonia - has seen the biggest drop in prices, with average prices tumbling from £101 a night to £86 over the past three years.

Hotel rooms have also got £10 cheaper a night in Prague, with a stay in Europe's stag-do capital falling from £100 to £90 on average.

At the other end of the spectrum, the cost of a night in a Brussels hotel room has shot up 78% from £73 to £130, while an average night's stay in Paris now costs £136 rather than £93.
