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.

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.

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.

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.

Cheap, good location, but very very basic.
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.

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!

You never told me that the hotel was closed so we were stranded in London. Luckily we had some help and found somewhere else to stay. So we need a full refund as we have had no communication from you that the hotel was closed. And we have had to pay out again. Please respond as soon as possible. Not happy ruined our break away.

As expected for the price
Absolutely fine for the price in a good location on New Years Eve. Friendly staff. Lift to room on 4th floor. Only disappointment was the absence of tea/coffee making facilities that were listed on the booking. Really could have done with a cuppa on awaking on New Years Day!

Great Location
Great location, nice area, decent price, friendly and helpful staff, fair english breakfast included, there's also a lift which is great, the rooms are very basic and a bit small and the one we had needed a new coat of paint, the beds are also a bit small and hard but ok, it's a budget 2 star hotel so not much more can be expected, the one thing I didn't like was the very thin and probably uninsulated interior walls where you can hear your neighbours quite clearly, would probably stay here again.

Excellent location, a few minutes from the tube station/restaurants/supermarkets/pubs. Hotel is fine, although our room was tiny and the breakfast was ok (always felt busy and rushed, maybe because it was only available for 1.5 hours, unlike most hotels). Housekeeping consisted of throwing the duvet over the bed but not actually making the bed! If you don't expect a big room or great breakfast, but want somewhere with a central location, this place will be a good option

Glad I found this place
Really like this hotel, will stay again. Ran by a family that treats the guests warmly. Every time I was in the lobby or waiting downstairs for the family to get ready I was offered coffee or tea or a snack. Pleasant conversation with the operators, they work hard for your stay. Five minute walk to the Gloucester Road Tube station. Five minute walk to Earl’s Court neighborhood. Pubs with customers flowing into the street is the norm. Great location for family, nice walking neighborhood.

Good stay for the price and the area. Very close to the train station and within walking distance to Harrods & the museums. Wide variety of options for breakfast but my cooked breakfast was cold so only got it the one morning. Single room was small and walls very thin. Was woke at 5 every morning by people moving upstairs

Bargain for staying in london
Hotel was nice , staff friendly, for what I paid for 3 nights, good price. Just wanted somewhere to put head down after seeing London and the theatre. Rooms were clean staff friendly. Good value for money. Will definitely stay again.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. The location was close to public transportation and within walking distance of some sites. The room was tiny and too small to have a twin and double bed. We had to place our suitcase on top of the one chair with no dresser to unpack anything which meant the only place to sit was on the beds. The room was located near the front desk and was noisy - we could hear people talking through the walls.

They provide hot English breakfast every morning. Location is excellent, close to many museums, restaurants, and groceries. It is a small family-run hotel in a old row house, adjacent to a much larger hotel next door. Rooms are small and facilities dated. But things are mostly working, and the hotel staff is eager to help.
