SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Choosing budget accommodation is harder than it looks: hostel prices have risen sharply in some cities, city taxes inflate the real nightly rate, and a dorm bed versus a private room are very different products. This Skill researches current rates and recent guest reviews so you can pick the right bed for your trip without booking anything. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Rate Comparison: Looks up current nightly rates for hostels, private rooms, and budget hotels in your chosen city, including city taxes and surcharges. - Review Analysis: Reads what recent guests actually say to distinguish a social hostel from a quiet private room. - Sleeper Train Option: Counts an overnight train berth as a bed when the route has one, removing a hotel night and a travel day at once. - Use Case: You are planning three nights in Lisbon and want to meet people. The Skill checks whether the hostel is still the cheap option, names the right neighborhood, and tells you which property to take and why. ## Quick Start Ask where to stay in Lisbon for three nights, saying whether you want to meet people or sleep quietly.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find cheap accommodation in a European city?

Provide the city, your nights, and whether you want to meet people or sleep quietly. The Skill searches current nightly rates for hostels, private rooms, and budget hotels, then recommends which option to take and names the neighborhood.

How to compare hostel vs budget hotel prices?

The Skill separates dorm beds from private rooms since only dorms hold a large price gap, roughly 15 to 30 euros versus 80 to 150 for a budget hotel. It also counts city taxes, which can add significantly to the real nightly rate.

Can this skill book a hotel or hostel for me?

No. The Skill is strictly read-only: it never signs into booking, hostel, or hotel accounts and never books, reserves, holds, or buys anything. It only researches rates and reviews so you can decide.

Does it consider overnight trains as accommodation?

Yes. When a route has a sleeper berth, the Skill counts it as a bed because it removes both a hotel night and a travel day. Europe now runs more than forty night routes, including Paris to Berlin.

What happens if a rate page will not load?

If a rate page fails to load, the Skill gives the published range and states it is approximate for those dates. If a city genuinely has no good budget option on your nights, it says so and names the nearest alternative that works.
