Guests of London's hotels the least satisfied in Europe, Dresden the most

The highest satisfaction levels among customers of Europe's hotels were reported in Dresden, Germany, while London's hotels suffer from the worst perception among 50 cities, according to the Reputation Rankings released November 10 by international online travel agency Trivago.

The survey is based on 2.7 million online hotel reviews for 13,000 cities in 50 European cities.

Cities where the average price for a standard double room is high tend to help create the least satisfied customers, according to Trivago.

Major European cities such as Rome (37), Instanbul (38) and Paris (44) often fared poorly, while cities with populations under 200,000 dominated the top 10.
