Fodor's Review:

In a white-portico row of Victorian houses, close to the South Kensington Tube and a short walk from the Victoria & Albert Museum, Number Sixteen is a lovely luxury B&B. Rooms are spacious and have marble- and oak-clad bathrooms. The style is not so much interior-designed as understated -- new furniture and modern prints are juxtaposed with weighty oil paintings and antiques. The staff is friendly, so lingering in the drawing rooms is a pleasure, and drinks are served in the garden in summer.
