Pros:

Läget var bra och trädgården var mysigt. God frukost med mycket färsk frukt och bär.

Cons:

Högtalarna i matsalen var hemska. Skramlade och hög musik.
Otroligt litet rum.

Meraviglioso in una Londra piena di sole
Pros:

La struttura è stupenda, accogliente e super pulitissima.
Si trova in un ottima posizione a pochi passi dalla metropolitana che ti collega in pochi minuti a Piccadilly Circus.
Colazione inglese ottima.
Letti comodissimi e la
Notte essendo una zona residenziali si riposa benissimo.
Non ho altro da aggiungere se non cose positive.

Wonderful little hotel that needs to rethink how the rooms are organized.
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful and very tastefully furnished. The staff is uniformly helpful and friendly and will do anything in their power to accommodate a reasonable request. The atmosphere is quiet and dignified. The breakfast was tasty and abundant. The double sink in the bathroom was a treat.

Cons:

We stayed for 5 nights, and we had to live out of our suitcases. There was woefully inadequate space for our clothes and other items. There were three half drawers, and two of them had items in them. The "closet" was organized very poorly, leading to not enough room to hang up coats, slacks, etc. Finally, the bath tub was dangerously slippery, and there was no rubber mat to mitigate this problem. It was so slippery that one day I decided to forego a needed shower rather than put myself at risk of falling.

Impeccable afternoon tea
Pros:

Everything was perfect! Thank you so so much to Theo who made sure we were able to enjoy our afternoon tea in the Library. (We were five school friends celebrating our sixtieth birthdays.) The setting was beautiful - the furnishings, flowers and tableware, and the tea was delicious and so elegantly served. There is a wonderful selection of loose leaf teas to accompany the finger sandwiches, scones and scrumptious sweet confections and we started with a glass of English sparkling wine. We were wonderfully looked after by such kind and efficient members of the hotel team and will look forward to coming back to Number Sixteen!

Cosy chic boutique hotel in London’s best location
Pros:

Great location, very comfortable rooms and common facilities, clean and beautiful cosy design throughout. Feels like an upscale bed and breakfast experience.

Cons:

The service was a little disappointing, didn’t fit with the warm chic vibe of this hotel. Staff at the restaurant is kind and welcoming.

A fantastic find!
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at Number Sixteen, all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. They made a lovely fuss of my wife when they heard it was her birthday. The location is great but also manages to be very calm, quiet and relaxing. It was our first visit but will definitely return.
