A great little hotel. Very good value for your money. Don’t expect the ritz, just appreciate a warm, clean room which is conveniently located. Breakfast included too, which again was a complete bargain and very tasty. Loads of continental offerings, drinks and decent fresh coffee. I will always book here to work in the area.
Thank you, staff was really friendly.
budget hotel but was perfect for my 1 night stay. Easy walking distance to Albert Hall and breakfast included. Great price and what is expected for 2 star hotel. Lift to all floors which was an added bonus.
This location worked for us so we overlooked the small spaces (bathroom is tiny for 5 people) and enjoyed the full breakfast. Beds were comfortable but there was just no space to move in the room. Its a beautiful old building near the Metro and with lots of charm. Felt safe.
Having stayed at this hotel several times before, it was nice to return for a brief stay for business purposes; also handy for London’s various attractions such as Piccadilly, Leicester Square; The 007 Experience, Chelsea Physic Gardens & the Peace Pagoda at Wandsworth.

The staff and breakfast were amazing but the rooms were even smaller than expected. And when we got to our room there was no toilet paper. Ok stay for a short time.
We stayed in room 9 it was perfect first room right next to reception. It was very nice and very clean.They served a full English breakfast along with a wonderful selection of pastries.The people serving breakfast were all very nice especially Doris😍Robert who takes care of things at night was ver helpful with many things.We were there two nights would definitely recommend it .
Excellent experience and hope to be back. A great location with an elevator, clean rooms, and an excellent English breakfast included. Daniel is a superb host, very knowledgeable and went over and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. We even had an issue on our departure as tubes were unexpectedly shut down and he helped with alternative modes to reach the airport. Will definitely be back.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was small, but this is central London, so it's to be expected. Great location close to public transport and major museums and attractions
The location is just few blocks away from metro. I must say good location as it’s close to majority tourists spots. The family running the hotel is very warm and always greets you with good smile and good breakfast. Highly recommended to stay here.
Very friendly staff. We had a nice simple and clean room with 4 beds, great for family traveling with kids. Our room did not have a/c but that was ok since the temperature outside was nice. Breakfast was good too.
St Simeon is conveniently located for a stay in London. Check in was easy. WiFi worked well.
The rooms are well maintained although the age of the building is showing. Beds comfortable, furniture well maintained. TV, fridge etc worked well. Clean.
One drawback was that ventilation between rooms means you overhear neighbouring rooms. This might be an inconvenience to some.
Breakfast very nice with both hot dishes as well as cakes, fruit and bread served. Coffee was a bit bland.
The area is very nice and tidy, and a metro station is only a short walk away. Felt safe all hours.
Stay at St Simeon if you want a convenient location, and don't mind a bit of noise from the rooms next door. Recommended.
Great little budget hotel! Very clean, comfortable, and wonderful customer service. Breakfast was fresh and yummy and the staff work very hard to please you. Reviews that complain about towels and water splashing in the bathroom are people who want a 4-star hotel at 2-star prices. For the price, you cannot go wrong with this hotel. It’s perfect! Just know, it’s not fancy. We loved it!
This is a wonderful hotel. The rate was very reasonable, so we were not expecting too much. To say we were agreeably surprised would be a major understatement. The room (both bedroom and bathroom) was spotless and nicely appointed, and the temperature was perfect. It got to freezing outside but we were always comfortable. The neighbourhood is very quiet and very safe: we walked back from the tube after 10 pm with no hint of any problem. The Gloucester Rd tube station is only about 5 minutes away on foot. The staff could not be more helpful. And, saving the best for last, they serve a full English breakfast, despite the website saying it's only continental (hich they also have).
Very cheap, considering the location, but you get what you pay for. The bed was uncomfortable, there was hair in the shower, and the toilet dripped all night long.
I needed to iron a shirt, but they didn't have an iron.
I also woke up the next morning itching!
Breakfast was included free of charge, and was decent.
While having reasonable expectations of budget accommodation, St Simeons was very poor and tired. Bathroom sink plug not working, very old linen, tv didn’t work, breakfast very disappointing. Won’t go back. It’s a shame cause the location was excellent.
It needs a complete revamp.
We really liked the St. Simeon. Don't expect it to be like an American hotel with a huge bathroom and a pool. It has little rooms, eclectic art and twisty corridors. That's what makes it great--it's not trying to be anything other than a charming pensione in a Victorian era building. They've added TVs and have plenty of towels and other little amenities. If you love character and supporting independent businesses over corporate, cookie-cutter hotels, St. Simeon is a good choice. Really close to Earl's Court tube station (and Lady Diana's flat) and the staff was really nice. They served breakfast but we didn't make it down it time due to jet lag but they offered us coffee/tea because they felt bad we will missed it. We'd stay there again, definitely.
It's a very nice stay with good British breakfast everyday. Location is very good and convenient in a safe neighborhood.
Daniel at the front desk is super friendly and provided the excellent services to us. We have followed his recommendations and had really good time in Londan. If you are lucky enough you may get a chance to meet the old gentleman (owner) who's very smart and kind too.
The only minor issue was the lady (night shift?) who didn't want to help us at all to call the Hilton hotel in London STN airport to check my missing UK charger. It's not late (around 8PM) that night (should be our 1st night of the stay) but she directly told us to ask the front desk next morning... Eventually I got the helpul phone call from a nearby hotel.
Es un hotel muy familiar y cálido,.el desayunó que ofrecen es muy delicioso, cumplió con lo prometido. Solo hubo un incidente con el drenaje el primer día pero lo solucionaron de inmediato
