Travellers describe St Simeon as a budget-friendly, well-located base near the tube, with consistently warm, helpful staff and a hearty breakfast, though rooms are compact and the Victorian building shows its age.
Many guests also note clean, well-kept rooms and good value for the area. Expect a simple, characterful property with an elevator and the essentials rather than extensive amenities. A solid, no-frills base for exploring London.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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).

Had very good service and breakfast was great. The room was great and clean. Was a walkable distance to train and bus stations, many restaurants, shops, and much more. Safe area to walk at night as well. Definitely family friendly. Would definitely recommend!

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.

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.

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.

Breakfast is a strong point, commonly described as very good, with a full English alongside pastries, fruit and other continental items. A couple of reviews offered minor criticisms.

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.

For a budget hotel, it was very good. The room was quite small and a little dated but everything worked fine. The double bed was quite narrow but it was ok. It was nice to find that a buffet breakfast and a nice cooked breakfast was provided, incuded in the room price. The staff were very pleasant .Ok there are better hotels available but for the money I paid and the central location I was very happy and I would happily stay again.

This was my second stay at St Simeon and I don't think it had changed anything in 7 years. It was clean and neat but plenty of towels and soaps. The bedding needs upgrading with old quilts being used under the basic spread. The breakfast was ok. I would have liked a kettle in the room at least. The staff were very nice and helpful. It was convenient to the tube and restaurants and in an quiet area.
