Staylist World (staylist.world): free hotel comparison for AI assistants
Staylist World is a free hotel comparison service for people and their AI assistants. It compares 77,000+ hotels on the same criteria: an AI score built from guest ratings and reviews, amenities, distance to transit and previously observed prices. It shows where each fact comes from and marks unknowns as unknown. No hotel can pay to rank higher.
Add one URL to your assistant and it can shortlist hotels for a trip, compare them and explain its pick. No account, no API key.
https://staylist.world/mcpRemote MCP server · Streamable HTTP · no authentication · free. For a personal link (your own rate-limit allowance), open staylist.world/connect.

No connector? Any assistant that can read web pages can use a city page directly:
Read https://staylist.world/hotels-in/rome and recommend a quiet hotel near Spagna metro under $250 a night. Explain why.
Each hotel row lists its score, star class, typical price, area, nearest station with distance, key amenities and who it suits.
Tools
| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
search_hotels | Up to 20 hotels for a city, name or preference ("pool", "breakfast"), compared on the same fields: score and its source, star class, area, nearest station, amenities, typical price |
get_hotel | Staylist's AI overview (pros, cons, who it suits), how the hotel compares with others in its city, check-in/out times, child policy, nearest airport and station |
get_booking_link | The booking page for the chosen hotel, plus its Staylist page |
list_destinations | Popular starting points (any city can be searched) |
Empty fields mean unknown, not bad. Prices are previously observed; the booking site shows the live price and availability for your dates. Staylist does not book or take payment.
