It’s rare to find a three-star hotel in London as clean and well maintained as the Luna Simone, which replaces its carpets and linens every year. Located between Westminster and Victoria, it offers a pleasant, airy decor and clean, simple rooms. Its rates include a fully cooked English breakfast served by the twin brother proprietors in a cheery, nonsmoking breakfast room.

Scene
Pleasant and clean with light, airy decor
From the immaculate Victorian facade to the bright, airy lobby, the Luna Simone Hotel is pleasant, clean, and cheerful. Lots of natural wood and light-colored panels in both the lobby and breakfast room add to the fresh and peaceful vibe. The hotel is divided into two sides -- the Luna on the left and the Simone side on the right -- with the lobby placed neatly in the middle. It makes for a bit of tricky navigation, but what better way to experience the quirks of ancient Victorian architecture?
Location
On a main Pimlico street lined with beautiful white Victorian houses
There are not many shops or restaurants on the hotel's block. The Luna Simone is mainly surrounded by other hotels. Turn the corner though, and there are plenty of bars and restaurants within a five-minute walk. The Luna Simone is located between Victoria and Pimlico tube stations, near the popular Westminster section of central London. Bus 24, which stops right outside the hotel, goes to Victoria Station (with connections to Heathrow Airport and Gatwick Airport), Westminster Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, and Trafalgar Square.
Rooms
Simple, clean and well maintained
Despite the dated yellow and blue textiles and generic wall art, rooms, which include singles, doubles, triples, and quadruples, are clean and in great condition. They all come with LCD TVs, coffeemakers, hairdryers, and safes. Furnishings, including carpets, are changed every year.
Features
Fully cooked English breakfast with table service and Wi-Fi routers on every floor
Probably the most charming aspect of this hotel is the amount of love and care the owners put into it. They will personally bring your breakfast to your table in the morning. The breakfast room has a pleasant, cheerful vibe -- not a bad way to start your day.
