Travelling in a large group is always fun. Especially if travelling with good friends or family members. However, many people ask if it’s difficult to find a hotel that can easily accommodate more than 2-4 adults. The answer is ‘No!’. I have done a research, assuming that a group consists of 6 adults. It has turned out that there are many good hotels, quite close to the city center, such a group could stay at. The price range is quite wide but the idea behind making the list was to find alternatives for different people. I hope my list will help you find a place you’ll be satisfied with.
