Accommodation Reviews
Who doesn't love a review right? I know as a solo traveler I am constantly looking at the reviews provided by other people for areas I am looking to travel and stay. Below are reviews based on my personal experiences and whether or not I would recommend or stay there again.
Waterlane Island Hostel & Apartments,
Gdansk, Poland.
My first time staying in Gdansk, and I found this hostel on booking.com for an incredible price. As you will see in my blog post about Gdansk I speak very highly of this hostel and its location.
​
Its just out of the way, a 10 min walk to the old town, where all the bars and restaurants and shops are, just slightly further up you will find a huge mall for all your shopping needs.
​
it has a lovely riverside location, and spa facilities.
​
the rooms are very clean and accessible via a key you are given from reception. Fresh bedding and towels are provided. It also has a communal kitchen.

Naughty Squirrel Backpackers Hostel,
Riga, Latvia
My first time visiting Riga, & I'd go back in a heartbeat. The staff at this hostel were amazing, couldn't of asked for a better bunch. They were super welcoming, providing me with a welcome shot which blew my head off but was well worth it!
​
The location was perfect, literally just along the street from the main town centre, bars and restaurants. You can book different activities through the hostel itself which is a great laugh, I decided to go shooting with them, and to a local pub called the Armoury.
​
It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. As a Solo traveler this place was amazing value for money and safe to stay in. I would happily revisit and stay here again.

Wyndham Dubai Marina,
Dubai, UAE
My first time in Dubai, and I went as a solo traveler. This trip was booked via a travel agent. Just like everything else to do with Dubai, this hotel did not disappoint.
​
It was located in a good position just down the road from the beach, and easy access to other areas. The rooms even the budget rooms, were huge, clean and provided you with dressing gowns.
​
The views from this hotel were phenomenal. It has a swimming pool which was closed for maintenance when I arrived in June however we were provided free access to the swimming pool in the neighbouring hotel.
​
This hotel had multiple restaurants and bars inside it, which served alcohol. I'd highly recommend this hotel to any traveler, especially solo women traveler's as this hotel went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable in the country, and answered anything I had to ask.

Hotel Barcelona Universal,
Barcelona, Spain
I have stayed in this hotel a couple times when visiting Barcelona, it is in an amazing location being only a 5 minute walk to La Ramblas, and Port Vell.
It has a roof top terrace, bar and swimming pool, the hotel also consists of a restaurant and a Gym. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, it has a metro line directly outside - Paral-lel, which can take you to pretty much anywhere in the city. You can also get this metro to Sagrada Familia, Parc De Montjuic & La Ramblas, which metro stops include - Drassanes, Liceu & Catalunya. Drassanes also provides you quick access to Port Vell.
​
One of my favs so far. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone, its good as a solo traveler and a couple. The staff are super friendly, and always willing to help if you have any questions.

Millennium Time Square,
New York City, USA
I stayed here for my 30th birthday, which was an incredible experience. However this was during the dreaded covid days, so the restaurants inside the hotel weren't open which was a shame, but I did find out the hotel has its own broadway screening,
​
The location was out of this world, literally just on the corner of time square itself, and it was easy to walk to all different areas including the Rockerfella, Central Park, Bryrant Park and the Empire State Building.
​
The city speaks for itself, and is truly a city that never sleeps. It was also very clean, which I wasn't expecting.
​
The rooms were cosy, comfortable and clean. & the views from the windows didn't disappoint.
