Time Out
"Threadneedles boldly slots some contemporary style into a fusty old dame of a building, formerly the grand Victorian HQ of the Midland Bank." Full review
Gayot
"East London is now putting up a fight against the ever-crowded West End and beckoning visitors towards St Paul's Cathedral, the Tate Modern and One New Change."
Travel + Leisure

Lonely Planet
"It’s wonderfully anonymous, though once through the doorway the grand circular lobby, furnished in a vaguely art-deco style and covered with a hand-painted glass dome, comes into view." Full review

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

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
