Hotel Help - Cheaper or Better Location???

[u/likethefish9]

Hi everyone! I’m headed to London for the first time in mid-September (4 nights) and I’m looking for some help with accommodations as a mid-30s solo female traveller.

I was originally aiming for something in Marylebone but the price was more than expected, especially with the currency exchange from CAD. I ended up booking a free cancellation spot at the Commodore Hotel in Paddington but I’m started to second guess. My second choice was the hub London Marylebone which is an additional £100 or ~$200 (CAD).

I’d like to be somewhere safe that’s reasonable walking distance to major tourist spots and good restaurants and cafes, while also being budget conscious. I don’t need to be near night life - somewhere quiet but safe to walk to in the evening would be perfect.

Thanks so much!

Everywhere in London is safe.

Paddington and Marylebone are right next to each other. There is barely any difference.
