Hotel prices in Algeria in 2026: a median of 12,263 DZD per night for two

How much is a hotel in Algeria? On 11 November 2026, the median price of a room for two was 12,263 Algerian dinars (DZD) per night. The figure comes from the Algeria hotel price barometer published by Nreservi, an online travel agency based in Algiers. It is recalculated every night from the real prices, in dinars, of 106 hotels in 19 cities. Here is what the day's figures show, city by city and star rating by star rating, and what they do not show.

The headline figure: 12,263 DZD per night for two

Of the 106 hotels recorded, half are priced below 12,263 DZD for one night for two people, and half above. The lowest price in the record is 4,592 DZD and the highest 33,648 DZD, a ratio of one to seven depending on the city, the category and the property. Hotel prices in Algeria are better described by that spread than by a single number.

Algiers and Oran: almost the same median price

The country's two largest cities account for 60 of the 106 hotels in the record.

• Algiers: 44 hotels, more than four in ten. The median price is 13,833 DZD per night for two, and the lowest price is 4,592 DZD. See hotels in Algiers.
• Oran: 16 hotels, a median price of 13,776 DZD and a lowest price of 8,036 DZD. See hotels in Oran.

The two medians are only 57 DZD apart. The difference lies elsewhere: Algiers has a wider choice, and its prices start much lower.

The most and least expensive cities

A median based on one or two hotels says nothing about a city. We therefore quote only the nine cities where the record holds at least three hotels, from the most to the least expensive:

• Algiers: 13,833 DZD (44 hotels)
• Oran: 13,776 DZD (16 hotels)
• Sétif: 12,385 DZD (6 hotels)
• Constantine: 12,264 DZD (5 hotels)
• Annaba: 11,480 DZD (7 hotels)
• Béjaïa: 10,773 DZD (7 hotels)
• Ghardaïa: 10,218 DZD (3 hotels)
• Batna: 8,036 DZD (3 hotels)
• Djelfa: 8,036 DZD (3 hotels)

Batna and Djelfa have the lowest median price: 8,036 DZD, which is 5,797 DZD less than Algiers for one night for two. Sétif and Constantine sit just above the national median; Annaba, Béjaïa and Ghardaïa sit below it. The lowest prices recorded are 7,347 DZD in Annaba and in Béjaïa, 7,859 DZD in Sétif, 9,759 DZD in Constantine, 6,430 DZD in Ghardaïa, 7,463 DZD in Batna and 8,009 DZD in Djelfa.

Ten other cities appear in the record with only one or two hotels: Aïn Témouchent, Biskra, Blida, Mostaganem, Sidi Bel Abbès, Skikda, Taghit, Tipaza, Tissemsilt and Tlemcen. Their prices can be seen on the barometer, but we do not publish a median for them. Even with three hotels, as in Batna, Djelfa or Ghardaïa, the figure is fragile: one more property can move it.

Prices by star rating

The category weighs more on the price than the city does.

• 3-star: 44 hotels, median price 11,275 DZD.
• 4-star: 49 hotels, median price 14,810 DZD.
• 5-star: 7 hotels, median price 21,430 DZD.
• Unrated hotels: 5 hotels, median price 6,315 DZD.

Moving from a 3-star to a 4-star hotel costs a median 3,535 DZD more per night. A 5-star hotel costs nearly twice as much as a 3-star. The record holds a single 2-star hotel, so no median is given for that category.

Stars are not the whole story. 3-star prices run from 7,104 to 22,960 DZD and 4-star prices from 6,430 to 22,469 DZD: the two ranges overlap widely. A 4-star hotel can cost less than a 3-star one, sometimes in the same city.

What the price includes

In 101 cases out of 106, about 95% of the offers recorded, the price includes breakfast. Three offers are room only and two are half board. In other words, the median of 12,263 DZD is almost always the price of one night for two with breakfast. Before comparing two hotels, still check the board basis shown on the offer.

Why a median rather than an average?

An average is pulled upwards by a few very expensive hotels. A median splits the list in two, with as many hotels above as below. It is closer to what an ordinary traveller pays, and it moves less when a high-end property enters or leaves the record.

How to pay

All barometer prices are in Algerian dinars.

• From abroad, bookings on Nreservi are paid online by bank card, with prices displayed in euros. See booking a hotel in Algeria from abroad.
• In Algeria, bookings are paid in dinars without a bank card: bank transfer, post-office (CCP) payment or cash at the agency in Algiers. Relatives living in Algeria can pay this way for a traveller arriving from abroad.

Four ways to pay less

1. Compare weekdays and weekends. In business cities, demand tends to be concentrated on weekdays; on the coast, at weekends and during holidays. The barometer does not yet measure that gap, so the safest approach is to test two dates.
2. Book early for summer, the end-of-year holidays and school holidays: the cheapest rooms go first.
3. Look at the district. In a large city the price changes from one district to the next. In Algiers, the lowest price in the record is a third of the city's median.
4. Do not stop at the stars. The 3-star and 4-star ranges overlap: compare real prices for your dates.

The limits of these figures

• The barometer covers hotels that can be booked on Nreservi: 106 properties in 19 cities. It is not a census of every hotel in Algeria.
• The figures in this article are those recorded on 11 November 2026, for one given night. Prices change with dates, season and how full hotels are.
• The record has only just started: it cannot yet say whether prices are rising or falling. Trends will become readable over the coming weeks.
• In cities with few hotels, the median is indicative only.
