A great place to stay. Only a 5 minute walk from Gloucester Road tube station. Bed was comfortable. Room wasn’t big but absolutely fine for what we needed. Breakfast was good - full English plus pastries and cake. The service was great. Would definitely stay again.

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.

Friendly and compact
Our room was compact, but then all we planned on doing was sleeping there. Basic needs taken care of in the room, facilities satisfactory. Staff were all very friendly, can not fault any of them. The cooked breakfast was fine, good selection of fruit, pastries and drinks all served very efficiently. Good value for money given the area we were in.

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.

Mixing business with pleasure! 🍸
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.

Cute place, small space
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.

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.

Cute pensione near Kensington
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.

Convenient location for a London vacation
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.
