4 reviews for Luna Simone Hotel
All Reviews
Well appointed rooms, quality showers, and a lovely balcony made our stay and Luna Simone a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
I have never reviewed a hotel before, so I'm not entirely familiar with the metrics one may find informative. For me, Luna Simone was exactly what I was looking for in a London hotel. It is located just 10 minute walk from Victoria Station where the Gatwick Express dropped us off, and within walking, busing, or "undergrounding" distance from everything you'd want to visit.
The rooms are certainly not huge, but the bed was quite comfortable and came with a lockbox and flat screen TV. The shower was of good size with excellent water pressure, and towels were changed every day. Perhaps the most pleasant surprise was a small balcony overlooking the front entrance. Once I figured out how to work the door handle, we were able to take some charming balcony photos and let in a gentle breeze.
The complimentary breakfast was efficient and convenient, but not the sort of thing for which you'd chose the hotel. Just a handful of traditional British breakfast items and tea with milk. Can't ask for much more, couldn't expect much less. The best part of breakfast was the hotel staff, two brothers and what we assume are their families... all seeming to have a lot of fun running their hotel.
Overall it was a lovely experience. If you're looking for something centrally located, this probably isn't the place for you. But if you want something within walking distance of the Gatwick Express that is on a quiet street, the Luna Simone Hotel is for you.
For a first experience with an English hotel, my wife and I lucked out with the Luna Simone. It is not always easy to find the right place to stay when you are visiting a foreign country, especially for first time travellers like us, but we are very glad that we chose the Luna Simone. Nice rooms, good pressure in the showers, very helpful staff, and walking distance to the Victoria station. What more do need? I would highly recommend the Luna Simone to anyone visiting London, and we will definitely stay there again next time we come to England.
This is a cute place run by two brothers situated in the heart of London, easily accessible to all the shopping areas (that's what we visited for)... We had the quad, which was a good size and the bathroom, enclosed, was very well maintained..
The owners are very helpful, courteous, and accommodating to all needs.. And, their rates are reasonable..
Had a good time and would go back..
This is the first place I ever stayed in outside of North America. My room was small, but the staff was friendly. It wasn't terribly expensive, and was fine for what I needed it for. I mean, I hardly spent any time in the hotel room except for sleeping and showering, so as long as it was clean (which it was) I was happy.
The complimentary breakfast hit the spot in the morning, and I made my way to Belgium.
My only issue was finding the place, but that's just because the map I had was wrong and I didn't realize that streets make no sense in London. Even when I asked people for help, nobody seemed to know where the hotel was.
Oh well. I eventually found it and all was good. If you need a decent place to crash and don't want to spend an arm and a leg, you could certainly do a hell of a lot worse than Luna Simone.
