It is safe to say space hotels will not be as cheap as hotels on Earth. How much it costs to build, maintain and stay at a space hotel will depend on many outside factors: the economic conditions of the time; whether safe, cheap and reusable launch vehicles are designed and built; and whether there is a strong demand and long-term support from the public for space travel and space tourism.
