Book early when rooms are plentiful, use single room search filters on booking platforms, look for hotels that don't charge supplements (increasingly common in boutiques), or consider last-minute bookings when hotels discount remaining single inventory.
Proximity to public transport is paramount — arriving late and needing a taxi adds cost and complexity. A neighbourhood with walkable restaurants and cafés that feel comfortable alone is also valuable. Read recent solo traveler reviews specifically.
Boutique hotels with a strong personal service ethic, design hotels with communal spaces, and internationally operated mid-range brands tend to be the most comfortable for solos. Resorts and large all-inclusive properties can feel isolating when alone.
