This is one of the best places to stay in London. Great shops, Tube and bus connections. The breakfast was the best I have had at a British hotel in decades and the breakfast room and public areas are gorgeous without being fussy. I loved the amenities and the staff were truly professional and friendly.

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.
