Assigned a laughably tiny (even by London standards) room that didn't even have space for a coffe maker or ketlle. Miniature bathroom was down an awkward and dangerous couple of stairs. Very noisy with doors slamming all hours of the day and night. Booked elsewhere and got out after just one night. Was charged for two nights of a three night reservation.

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.

Room was very very very small. So small it was difficult to walk around the bed. Hard to write at desk because so close to bed. Could hear the neighboring guests through the wall. Even their was beautifully decorated it was absolutely not a functional room. Actually for the price it was an absurd experience.
