Which cities does StayScope cover?
StayScope tracks 10,557 hotels in 54 cities; 20 cities have prices on 17 September 2026. Rome is the largest, with 1,562 hotels priced today. Each tile shows the cheapest and the median night over the city's hotels.
Where is a hotel night the cheapest?
On 17 September 2026 the lowest median night is in London — $83, from $33 — and the highest in Paris, at $234. Only cities with five or more priced hotels are ranked.
What does “from” on a city tile mean?
The cheapest night among the city's hotels on 17 September 2026: every hotel counts once, with its cheapest current stay per night in USD, so a hotel quoted by twenty sites weighs no more than one quoted by two. The median next to it is the middle hotel of the same list.
Are the prices shown here live?
Prices are read from the latest completed collection, dated 17 September 2026 (the newest observation anywhere is from 17 September 2026). StayScope shows what each site quoted then, not a live feed, so the seller's own page can differ by the time you open it.
