This is one of the best places to stay in London. Great shops, Tube and bus connections. The breakfast was the best I have had at a British hotel in decades and the breakfast room and public areas are gorgeous without being fussy. I loved the amenities and the staff were truly professional and friendly.

Beautiful, small hotel in lovely neighborhood. Feels outside the most touristy parts of London. Some of the rooms a bit quirky, but still lovely. Helpful staff. Beautiful garden, so ideal for warm weather

Number Sixteen is a beautiful property on a quiet side street in bustling South Kensington. There is easy walking access to many restaurants, shopping, and the South Kensington Underground station. Property is beautifully decorated, with high end room amenities. Restaurant on property is lovely, with excellent food.

All the amenities were first class. Our room was lovely. We have always like the Kit Kemp interiors. The staff were delightful and so helpful. Without a doubt one of the highlights of our stay. The only thing we would say is that the food was not quite up to standard. and our breakfasts were not terribly warm although the coffee was wonderful with very generous portions on request. I asked for pancakes one morning for breakfast and they came cold and incredibly burnt and I’m not sure what their definition of maple syrup was! Otherwise a wonderful stay.

Absolute gem in a super convenient and upscale neighborhood. You can get anywhere by tube bus or any other means of transportation from the No. Sixteen Hotel and the staff was always welcoming. It felt more like being home than a hotel. The amenities were also great. Would stay there again in a heartbeat and will recommend it to anyone traveling to London.

What a lovely hotel. The location was steps from South Kensington tube station which serves three lines yet the hotel is quiet and tranquil inside. The neighborhood is filled with restaurants we had the chance to eat at Ceru, Wright Brothers and Tapas Brendidas for dinners. All were excellent. The pub across the street is lively and a good place for a pint after a day of busy activities. Many local patrons bring their dogs which we loved as we ere missing our own puppy. The service at the hotel was exceptional and every detail was thought of to make your stay welcoming. We stayed for a week and will definitely be back next time we’re in London.
