Feedback about St Simeon from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
St Simeon enjoys a fantastic location, putting guests within easy reach of amenities and with convenient access to transportation; some particularly appreciated the proximity to Paddington via a pleasant walk through Hyde Park. The traditional English breakfast is a highlight for many, and the availability of a kitchen for making hot drinks is an added bonus. While some found the rooms on the smaller side, guests appreciate the value for money in central London.

mixed feelings about a short stay

thin walls cheap ingredients
the location near the underground was convenient for getting around.
the room felt quite cramped. the thin walls were a problem as i could hear neighbors easily. the breakfast quality was disappointing with what seemed like very cheap ingredients used.

Adequate Location. Terrible Room.

small room narrow bed
The hotel's location was acceptable, it was close to the things I wanted to see.
My room was shockingly small. It was difficult to open my luggage anywhere other than on the bed. The bed itself was narrow, barely enough space for one person. There were no shelves in the bathroom, so I had nowhere to put my toiletries.
