Visitors to Algeria will find a variety of accommodation and lodging on offer, including hotels, guest houses, self catering accommodation and camp sites. Prices vary, according to the facilities on offer and the location. As a rule, Algeria hotels tend to offer fairly good value for money. For those on a tight budget, there are usually plenty of options.

Most hotels in Algeria can be found in the capital city, Algiers, and other main cities, such as Oran. Visitors who plan to travel around Algeria, for example into the desert region of the country, should not experience too many problems finding accommodation. However, choice can be rather limited in smaller towns or those which are off the tourist track.

Algiers in particular, is becoming a popular destination for business delegations and conferences and at these times, finding rooms can be more difficult.
