Beautifully designed room.Warm, cozy and elegant common areas. Located in a residential neighborhood close to the subway and within walking distance to shops, museums, cafes and restaurants. Staff were great and welcoming. Perfect!
Lovely, cozy, and beautiful interiors
I stayed in a small room on the 3 rd floor which was
perfect for one person .
Very happy to be back ! Love the sixteen 🌺
Last week was our second stay at the number sixteen hotel. We literally made this the centerpiece of our vacation because the staff, food, grounds are so perfect. Thank you to everyone for making our trip so perfect!
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.
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.
Staff and service was personal and excellent
Room decor lovely /
bed comfort level super
Facilities/ restaurant food good
The location relative to Hyde park/ museums/ restaurants towards Sloane sq via Phellam st was walkable w all transport options easily assesible
Room was light and bright with a good sized bed, just very small for the money. Staff variable, some good some not so.
Expected coffee making facilities in the room, had to ask for a machine to be brought up.
