Romantic in London

“A popular Middle Eastern (specifically Iraqi) restaurant known for its authentic shawarma, homemade pastries, and vibrant casual dining vibe. Also praised for fresh fruit juices, smoothies, and a great tea selection Handsome value—with wraps starting around £9–10, plates from £7–£19, and desserts like kunafa for about £4.50”

“There was a lovely young lady I could tell as soon as I entered the store this is because of the way she greeted me as I entered the shop this was my first time trying tortilla so I asked her for advice and she politely listed the menu and asking what I was looking for and what I liked. She was getting to know type of meal I wanted and was telling me how the wraps tasted and the other meals . She was very patient with me as I was indecisive and I am a very picky eater anyone else usually gets impatient and irritated when I ask questions as I am new to this country staying here for couples of months. Due to her being so kind a thoughtful I will definitely be returning to this place for the food and to be greeted by her warming atmosphere she provides. I ended up taking a quesadilla which tasted amazing! Give her a pay rise!!”

“I recently stayed two nights at Ibis London Excel Docklands while attending a business event at Excel London and I had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the venue, which made attending the event very convenient. The team was friendly, welcoming and always ready to help. The hotel itself felt cosy and comfortable with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. I especially loved the breathtaking view from my room, it really added a special touch to the experience. Overall, a great stay in an excellent location. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Excel London for business or leisure.”

“Went on a very merry Christmas lunch cruise, it was organised through a local coach company but there were plenty of other people there to,. We were given a complimentary glass of bubbley on arrival then took our seat for the 3 hour cruise down the Thames while they served our 3 course meal, the food was very nice and we had a singer who sang Christmas and other well known songs and crackers on the table made a great fun day out.”

“Lovely hotel, helpful, friendly staff. Great room service menu, highly recommend.”

“My experience was awesome. The quality & test of food was awesome! I loved it! Behaviour of staffs ware nice & friendly too. Price was reasonable to me. I recommend to others to get the food experience.”

“We were in London recently and we wanted to try somewhere different to the other places we had eaten at previously, and we were so glad we discovered Orient. We were greeted by a very friendly young lady who gave my girlfriend advice (as she doesn't like too spicy food) on some recommendations, and I was delighted to see that they done an extensive curry range (as some of the places we had visited in Chinatown previously did not have any curry's on the menu). The decor was very nice and the place was very clean. ALL the staff we dealt with were so friendly and they could not have been anymore helpful, and we were given ample time to browse the menu at their extensive menu range. The service was very quick. On our first visit I got prawn crackers and sesame prawn toast for a starter. And the main I chose a beef curry with Thai fragrance steamed rice. The beef was absolutely beautiful, it was thinly cut and was SO tender and perfectly cooked. The rice was perfectly cooked. My girlfriend got Spring Rolls for a starter, and for her main she got sweet & sour spare ribs, and she said it was absolutely beautiful. On our second visit I got a lamb curry with the Thai fragranced steamed rice and my girlfriend got Pork belly with preserved vegetables and noodles and beansprouts, and again it was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Another thing I will add is we both got the Lychee juice, and it was lovely, and it went very nicely with our food, and we had not seen this type of juice at other places. And again on our second visit the staff were exceptionally friendly and the service again, very quick. We both were of the same opinion that the Orient will be our go to place for a Chinese meal when we are in London, and we both cannot wait to go back again and sample their delicious food again.”

“Lovely little cocktail bar, right in the centre of St Katharine Docks. Worth a visit. Nice tapas style food too.”

“Me and my friend had bottomless brunch here yesterday and we had such a lovely time. The food was so nice, the restaurant is stunning and it was a nice atmosphere. A huge thank you to our waiter Radu for making our experience at the restaurant memorable, he was so friendly, polite and attentive, an outstanding waiter.”

“After staying at dozens of Holiday Inns in the USA this came as an amazing surprise as the level of service and standards was far far higher than expected. The rooms, although somewhat cozy felt brand new and the bed and pillows were outstanding. The breakfast buffet was wonderful and extensive and the only thing that detracted from the experience was the fact that there were rampaging, yelling and screaming children running roughshot all throughout the dining and buffet area. Would definitely stay here again, but will bring earplugs now down to the restaurant.”

“Room was large with a great bed, lots of different pillow types and sleep quality was excellent, rooms were also quiet. TV, wifi was perfect, lots of charge points including a EU socket. I liked the large window with roller blinds too. Breakfast had a very good range of products, self service or you could order specifically cooked eggs. Some food options nearby or their Zoom restaurant is available as was room service.. Most of all it's the first hotel I've been in where they had recycling bins in the room. A great stay, and staff were very good too.. oh and the rooms have fridges too!!!”

“I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. I especially appreciated the great service and relaxing atmosphere. Everything from check-in to check-out was smooth and pleasant. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great experience”

“We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary with a stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Borehamwood, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we booked, the team went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Their support and kindness—even before we arrived—set the tone for a wonderful experience. We stayed in an accessible room, which was spotlessly clean, tidy, and thoughtfully laid out. It made our stay comfortable and stress-free, which we really appreciated. The restaurant staff were outstanding—warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. The complimentary breakfast was delicious, and the beautifully organised presentation made our anniversary feel extra special. Every detail reflected care and professionalism. Thank you to everyone who helped make our stay so memorable. We left with full hearts and beautiful memories—and we’ll definitely be returning.”

“Excellent value for family stays in London. Perfect location next to underground and close to overground and uber boat pier, shops and restaurants. Extremely family-friendly staff made the stay fun and special (half term, Halloween). Kids eat free offer makes breakfast fantastic value. The hotel itself is dated and in desperate need of refurbishment - especially the bathrooms - and the cleaning in our bathroom could have been much better. However, the family room was large and the beds very comfy, and the staff and location easily make up for the outdated building. Overall, excellent value for the location, especially for families.”

“Pretty much a near perfect stay at Manor House travelodge. Location perfect, right on top of Manor House Picadilly line tube. We'd booked a standard room as only there one night, but we were surprisingly updated to a superior room for free and no real reason. We didnt eat there but will when we return sometime. Also all staff we encountered were friendly and cheerful. Bed comfy as well which equals a good nights kip. All in all, recomended.”

“Really lovely, helpful staff and a great, clean, spacious room. If you are searching for excellent stay then it’s great choice.”

“Good cinema. Comfortable seats. Enough space to get comfortable. Good snacks and drinks options. Toilets are clean and tidy. Very good idea with crane /claw machines. Sofas to seat outside. Love to have Baskin and Robbins there. There are 12 screens. Me, my daughter and my friends really enjoyed the time.”

“Went to see The Greatest Showman and really enjoyed it. So lovely to have this local and also the food was brilliant!”

“Amazing city tour company in London. Their services really professional.That's why I recommend them absolutely.......”
