Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram has blasted hotels and businesses for 'grossly inflating' prices for rooms around the time of next year's Eurovision Song Contest.
The region's leader was reacting to reports of hotels, guest hoses and other accommodation venues hiking up prices following the news that Liverpool will host the international contest next May.
A look on Booking.com shows multiple single person rooms being priced up for well over £1,000 for the night of May 13 2023, when the song contest will be held in the city. On social media, some people shared screenshots of eye-watering room prices of £6,5000 for a four-night stay in the city.
