St Bees Head

This was my first solo international trip and I was nervous about it. Staying in a hotel can be very intimidating as a solo female traveler. The room - it's small, but this was a plus for me. I really just needed somewhere to sleep and having a smaller room made it feel safer for me. The bed was very comfortable. There's AC! They provide a (good!) hairdryer and even have a little tea station on the desk. There's a TV with streaming capabilities and free wifi. The bathroom had shampoo and conditioner provided. There's a little safe in the room that's also free to use for valuables. The lighting system was all on a panel by the bed with different lighting options that turned off by themselves when you exited the room and on automatically when you entered. Hangers were provided and I have no issue finding room to put my suitcase. I had a view facing the street and even for a busy area it was quiet. The hotel - staff was very nice and helpful. I was even able to check in a bit early at no extra charge. This was a lifesaver after an overnight flight and arriving on no sleep. There's a water machine downstairs and the location was a quick 5 minute walk from Paddington station. Very easy to get to all parts of London from this area. Decent food options in the area. Nandos is close by, Blank Street Coffee has a location near (their matcha is amazing), and there's even a McDonald's if you want something quick after a long day of exploring the city.

Beautiful boutique hotel. Lovely room, friendly and helpful staff, and great location

Great stay. Staff excellent - especially Ghali on concierge desk.
