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
