The Spotlight on St Simeon

Affordable Comfort in Chic South Kensington

Modern convenience meets classic charm at St Simeon, a no-frills, budget-friendly hotel in the heart of London’s stylish South Kensington. Just a short stroll from top museums and a quick Tube ride to major concert venues, this hotel offers a warm, welcoming base for music fans exploring the city. With period-style décor and thoughtful amenities like a communal kitchen and TV lounge, it's a smart choice for travelers who want location without the luxury price tag.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a gig, St Simeon puts you in a prime spot. You're only 5 minutes' walk from both Earl's Court and Gloucester Road Tube Stations, making late-night travel across London a breeze. After a loud night out, the residential vibe of South Kensington ensures a quieter stay, perfect for winding down. While reception closes at 1am, you'll still have ample time to return after most shows.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to crash somewhere central without blowing the budget
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see artist
  • Couples building a weekend around a concert
  • Fans who appreciate a quiet night after a high-energy show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who value location over luxury

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site bar or restaurant, St Simeon offers a communal kitchen and dining area—perfect for heating up a post-concert snack or brewing a late-night tea. A cooked breakfast is served each morning, ideal for those recovering after a late night. Plus, you're within 10 minutes’ walk of plenty of pubs, cafés, and restaurants in South Kensington.

Nightlife Options

You're not far from some of West London’s liveliest spots. Earl’s Court and Kensington have plenty of pubs and low-key lounges perfect for pre-show drinks or a casual nightcap. While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, its location makes it easy to find the vibe you're after.

What People Say

Guests love the excellent location, especially for sightseeing and hopping on the Tube to concerts. Many highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the bonus of a cooked breakfast. The communal kitchen is a hit with those who prefer DIY dining or late-night snacks after a gig.

Areas for Improvement

The rooms are on the basic side, and the décor may feel a bit old-fashioned for some. Also, since reception closes at 1am, it's worth checking your concert end time and making sure you're back in time—or arranging a key in advance.

The Bottom Line

A smart, budget-friendly choice with a fantastic location and quick Tube access—St Simeon is ideal for concert-goers who want a quiet, convenient place to recharge after the show.

Good value in a nice...

Liked: Location good, 5 mins walk from Gloucester Rd Underground Stn. Considering it's relatively central London, a quietish street.Helpful staff, and I was alllowed to check in early since the room was ready.Part of a nice-looking (relatively old) building.Good lift.
Disliked: 1) Windows not soundproofed, and one window wouldn't close properly, so I was woken up at 05.40 by (I imagine) a street-cleaning vehicle.2) The (single) room was a bit cramped- Given the size of the room, more thought should be given to the contents: the single bed was wider than the average single bed, thus taking up valuable space; a wardrobe and small table really don't fit in very well, and a more customized piece of furniture would work better. And operating the tv (on top of the wardrobe) involved using a multisocket device sitting on a radiator (if I remember rightly), or else hanging, otherwise the wire wasn't long enough.

Very Nice English Style Inn

Liked: Great location! Good, safe neighbourhood. Good restaurants and shopping and museums. Very close walk to the tube station. Very nice breakfast. Not a huge hotel chain but more a quaint, English family style Inn, with proper hotel room facilities in each room and a small elevator. Staff were excellent and accommodating. If you've travelled through Europe, these are the types of places you are looking for.
Disliked: I have no complaints. It met or exceeded my expectations.
