Michelin Guide "Enticingly refurbished 19C townhouses in smart area."
Concierge "This exquisite little hotel would not normally qualify for the "Budget" designation, but it's a relative term in London at the best of times, and as budget splurges go, this is tops."
Fodor's "Guest rooms at this lovely luxury guesthouse... look like they come from the pages of Architectural Digest, and the delightful garden is an added bonus." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"With uplifting splashes of colour, choice art and a sophisticated-but-fun design ethos, ravishing Number Sixteen is four properties in one and a lovely (and rather labyrinthine) place to stay." Full review
Time Out "This may be Kit Kemp’s most affordable hotel but there’s no slacking in style – witness the fresh flowers and origami-ed birdbook decorations in the comfy drawing room." Full review
Star Service "This is a fine pick for boutique fans in search of a stylish British hideaway with contemporary elan and quirky guest rooms that provide a surprise at every turn." Full review
Gayot "Number Sixteen is undoubtedly the most upscale bed-and-breakfast in Sumner Place, a smart, leafy street in South Kensington."
Zagat "A private Victorian garden with a fountain and a fishpond is a highlight of this South Kensington boutique hotel, designed by Kit Kemp in her trademark contemporary-meets-classic-English style."
Mr & Mrs Smith "A handsome, well-kept townhouse just steps from the South Kensington Tube station, Number Sixteen hotel is the perfect base for shopping and cultural excursions into London's city centre." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "A snapshot of upper crust life in London with the genuine feeling of being in a home, not a hotel." Full review

Lonely Planet "Rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the 'old' King's Cross – once the city's red light district – the Great Northern Hotel, with its curving brick facade, would make its 1854 incarnation proud." Full review
Zagat "Open since 1854, this elegant hotel within King's Cross Station retains its wrought-iron staircases and broad, curved corridors, though guestrooms are thoroughly modern."
Frommer's "Of all the major railway terminal hotels currently in operation in London, the Great Northern is the most distinct—and the smallest." Full review
Star Service "The grand sweeping curve of the hotel is still at the hub of Europe's railway network and is just a few steps from U.K. and international Eurostar rail terminals." Full review
OysterLuxury
"The 91 rooms, with sash windows and vintage Farrow & Bell Shades, are elegant and contemporary, and a few of the bathrooms have roll-top bathtubs." Full review
Jetsetter "Revamped railway hotel with gorgeous rooms, a sultry cocktail bar and a restaurant helmed by a Michelin-starred chef." Full review
Time Out "From the swanky lighting and the hand crafted furniture to the sleek decoration, everything about the Great Northern Hotel oozes glamour and sophistication." Full review
Frommer's "Rooms aren’t huge, but they have a smart modern edge that includes—daringly for a hotel—cream-colored carpeting...high-standard perks pack the other spaces—a good British restaurant, Plum & Spilt Milk" Full review
