DK Eyewitness
"A boutique addition to the West End’s luxury hotels, the Haymarket has subtly colorful, very well-equipped rooms and suites designed with panache."
Star Service
"In the heart of London's West End, just off the Haymarket and a few minutes' walk from Piccadilly and Trafalgar Square, it is adjacent to the Haymarket Theater and very close to the National Gallery." Full review
Gayot
"With the Haymarket Hotel, hoteliers Tim and Kit Kemp continue to corner the boutique hotel market in London."

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

Star Service

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

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
