Had a 3 night stay in a standard double room. Room was a little small with limited space for luggage but there was space under the bed. Overall the room was typical for a traveller. A great location. Close to Hyde Park (across the road) and Notting Hill. All staff we encountered were very friendly and attentive. Overall a great hotel and would stay again.

Excellent location for a vacation to London. Very close to a beautiful royal park, two underground lines and multiple bus lines. Very nice selection of restaurants and more reasonably priced souvenir shops. The rooms are fine, but we did notice some stains on the floors and bedding, but for the price this can be overlooked.

The hotel is functional. The small room size was indeed a surprise, but that is informed in advance. Location is nice with nearby subway. A big disappointment to me was the breakfast. Regularly there's only soluble coffee from a machine, the options of fruits are quite limited, there's only square bread with no other buns and croissant and pain au chocolat feel quite industrial and not of good quality. The coffee alone would be already a deal breaker for me, in any level of hotel. To be honest that's the first time I see soluble coffee in any hotel that offers breakfast, although not in the UK. Overall, It felt more like a 3 star unfortunately.

Very nice staff, always kind and willing to help! Great location in front of Hyde park and with easy transportation choice. Very good breakfast, both for quality and choice. I definitely recommend this hotel. I have been twice and I would not hesitate to come back. Thanks for contributing to making our staying in London so enjoyable!

We really enjoyed our stay at Thistle London Hyde Park Kensington Gardens. The rooms we booked were clean, quiet and very comfortable (especially the beds). Breakfast each morning was wonderful. A great selection of fresh products, with something for everyone. Room service was very good. Staff were friendly helpful. The hotel is is a great location - close to public transport (catch the 94 bus out front to Piccadilly Circus), walk to Paddington, Notting Hill, through Hyde Park and many other places. We'd definitely stay here again.

I came here only for barbecue duck and it is really good. Duck is juicy and I think it is better than another branch in China town. Shop is quite busy during 8pm. They take order quite quick but a bit long time to take a bill. Seats inside are very packed.

We had to go & find out for ourselves if fourseasons was the ‘real deal’ or just another ‘influenced hype’. What we had 👀: S&S Chicken Hong Kong style - £14.30 Large Egg Fried Rice (no veg) - £11 Lobster With Crispy Noodles - £66 Chicken Chow Mein (no veg) - £12.80 Whole Special Roast Duck - £35.80 Barbecue Pork (char siu) - £15.20 Salt & Chilli Calamari - £17.50 Salt & Chilli Prawn - £17.50 Crispy Pork Belly - £15.20 Mini Spring Rolls - £7.80 Soft Shell Crab - £10.80 (Not including drinks or service charge) What we thought 💭: This spot has been hyped so much and we finally got to see why, this was hands down THE BEST roast duck, char siu & crispy belly pork we’ve had in London, I see why they’re famous for these 3 roast meats, 10 out of 10 in that department. The sides were all spot on as-well. The rice, the chow-mein everything just tasted so fresh. The salt and chilli prawns and calamari were 10/10. The deep fried soft shell crab wasn’t for us, it was more to do with the texture of the crab rather than the actual taste, but the kids loved it 😅. The whole lobster & noodles was okay, you do get a lot of meat in the lobster I’ll give them that, and a lot of noodles to share out, but we just wasn’t fond of the ginger & spring onion sauce it came in, I wish we chose one of the other options of sauce to have the lobster in. It wasn’t bad at all, it just became a bit overpowering after a while. But that was the sauce option recommended to us because we had kids, and the other options we were told, had a kick to them 🌶️. But it was still enjoyable and like I said the lobster was really meaty which was good. We most definitely will be returning. Four seasons is definitely a new family favourite. 📍 Queensway, London ⭐️ Overall - 9/10 Check out our food page on Instagram: @WhatWeHavingNow For more in depth reviews videos and pictures.

Wanted to compare the roasted duck between this restaurant and the one down the road. Both are equally good but the one here is sweeter. We also ordered the set meal A which consisted of an assortment of dishes as we were undecided what to order. I like the corn soup which has similar texture and consistency of shark fins soup. My favourite was the stir fried beef which was tender and full of flavours. The other dishes except the fried rice were also good. Fried rice was quite bland. Service here is not as friendly but it was efficient. We got our food quickly after we placed our order.

Always wanted to try this place since I always see long queues snaking outside the restaurant during peak dinner time. If you come before peak dinner time (5.30 pm), you might be able to walk in without a red snag a table, because that’s what we did. Everyone comes here for the duck— typical Irish fat duck, which is fat and juicy. We liked the duck but we would have preferred it if the skin was a little crispier.

One of my old favourite Chinese restaurants in London, I started coming back here again. Food has always been exemplary, but other restaurants with the same cuisine in the area give it a run for their money. Still, comes highly recommended.

Nice place. One of the only pubs I've been to that has a pool table. Just a pity that the barstaff wanted to talk on her phone instead of listening to my order that she got wrong.

We had exactly the dinner we were looking for - perfect fish and chips and lovely sticky toffee pudding - at a nice little table outside. Just a great little neighborhood pub!

Great spot for a drink and some food. Had the steak ale pie and was very impressed. Had a few drinks while waiting for others and they had a good selection of beers on tap. Recommend a stop if you're looking for food or a drink. Food and a beer was around 20 pounds depending on what you get.

Perhaps it was an off night. It was a nice place inside and the food was good, although not as good as anywhere else we've been on our visit to London. But the staff wasn't very friendly. They show Cheers on TV here a lot. It had the feel of Norm running the bar and Carla bartending, is the best way I can explain it. ADDENDUM: No, they don't show Cheers on TV at this bar. They have the attitude of Carla, as you can see by their response.

The atmosphere here is unmatched—better than anything else around. They host live music from Wednesday to Sunday, creating the perfect vibe for any night out. Pet friendly. No cash! The staff is amazing—super friendly and attentive. They genuinely care about your experience, checking in to make sure you’re comfortable without letting things get out of hand. They’re also incredibly mindful of creating a safe environment, always staying alert to prevent any harassment. It’s a place where you can truly relax and enjoy yourself.

It’s a great place to hear live music 4 days a week, Thursdays to Sundays. The Steve Young duo on Sunday October 14 was excellent. They sang and played the violin and guitar and lots of the patrons joined in. A fun time! The bar doesn’t take cash so you have to use your credit card. This was my first visit and I didn’t order any food, just had one drink.

A very lovely location with great views, good fish & chips, and fresh flowers at all the tables. Staff was very nice and you could easily get someone's attention. Only complaint is that the cottage pie seemed a bit microwaved in how the heat was distributed.

Visited for lunch on a Friday afternoon. It was relatively empty but food took a long time to arrive, about 30mins. The food was good. There is a very limited menu and therefore even more limited if you are vegetarian. Service was good. It was really cold in the whole place. The inside is huge so suitable for groups. Drinks selection is extensive.

Delicious Cantonese meal. The Peking duck was outstanding and the salt and pepper squid was light and crispy. They didn’t kick us out either so we were able to enjoy our meal and catch up with friends.
Madeline Chan - a week ago

Had a small wedding dinner in one of their private rooms. Not only their roast duck is superb, their customer service is top notch! Their roast duck is still one of the best ones in London even after so many years. I used to come here as a student and after 10 over years, they are still as good as I remembered. The skin is super crispy and the meat is succulent. All the other dishes I’ve had are excellent as well. The staffs were lovely and super friendly. Goldmine is definitely my go to Chinese restaurant whenever I visit London.

Did they live up to the hype? Yes, they did! To start with, very friendly staff in this restaurant. From service manager to regular waitress were all very friendly and welcoming. Clean! The place is well maintained and the utensils are spotless. 🍴🍽️🥢 The food is very well prepared and cooked. Possibly the best duck I have ever tasted. 🦆Juicy, tender and the sauce that flows over it is so yummy! 😋 The Spinach is well cooked and very tasty too. 🥬 (This is a difficult Chinese veg to cook) and the beef 🐄 was tender and super yummy. (No frozen smell or taste) Overall, I’m going to agree that this would be one of the best Chinese Cantonese Duck that you can get in London. 👍

The food here is so good. I have been wanting to try this restaurant, as I’m a big fan of Four Season food, and from what I heard that Gold Mine is just the same food but more expensive compared to Four Season, but this is totally not true, as food at Gold Mine is so much better. Roasted Duck is a must-try, Dim Sum here is also very good. Indeed, you pay a bit more for so much better food. Highly recommend.

Great little pub not far from Kensington park. Had the mulled wine for $9 a person and it was nice. Had a fresh slice of orange and cinnamon stick in it. The pub was overall cozy and the bartender was very sweet ! Didn’t have a chance to eat here unfortunately.

Quiet pub for a weekend lunch. Staff were not really friendly but not rude either. Food was served quickly and the quality was alright. Portions were more than generous.

Nice atmosphere and really good food, better than at some restaurants. We had the Chicken Kyiv, the Mushroom chicken pie, and the peach tart tatin - all of them delicious. They also have a wide range of drinks, alcoholic and non alcoholic. Very helpful and attentive staff

Avoid. At least, the fish and chips. Not sure what the other reviewer who sang it's praises was served... Overpriced, poor quality and not as advertised. (1) See the pic of the menu description. Note the description for the peas and the chips. You can see that the (miserly portion of) peas was not "crushed" in any way! And the chips hadn't been adequately cooked once, let alone multiple times aka "triple-cooked"(2) What's up with the portion sizes? Are frozen peas expensive? And potatoes? At least there was no service charge on top of that £17 bill. I ate the whole meal, but I didn't love it, and wish I'd gone elsewhere.

The customer service was amazing, especially from Joseph and Marie, who provided excellent service and communication. They really made me feel valued as a customer, and their attentiveness enhanced my overall dining experience.

We were staying in the area for one night, and Bella Italia stood out as a nice place to go. We received a warm and friendly welcome, although our waiter seemed a little preoccupied with his friend outside during our dinner.. Great choice of good quality dishes, what we ordered was most enjoyable. Overall, it was a really nice evening, and I would visit again.

We recently celebrated my son’s birthday at this amazing Greek restaurant, and I cannot say enough good things about it. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with warmth and top-notch service. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic Greek flavours that were perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The service was beyond exceptional. The staff went out of their way to make our evening special, with everyone being attentive and friendly. A special mention to Tina, who went above and beyond by storing our birthday cake in the restaurant’s freezer from Friday until we needed it on Tuesday! Her kindness and attention to detail really stood out, and we couldn’t be more grateful. The restaurant has been around since 1966, and it’s easy to see why. The owner clearly cares about both his guests and the quality of the experience. It felt like we were part of something truly special. If you’re looking for incredible food, warm hospitality, and a memorable experience, I highly recommend this gem. We will absolutely be back!!

One of the best greek places in town. Amazing atmosphere but slightly on the higher end of prices. The food was amazing especially the lamb shoulder and the dessert. Thought the calamari could be improved. Overall good recommendation
Raziq Kamaruddin - a week ago

Although a small space inside, it gives it alot of character. Food was excellent, gave me a taste of Cyprus’s culinary delight. Even met the mother chef. Absolutely loved the experience here. Made me miss my side of the world. Atmosphere was buzzing. Place was fully booked. Make sure you book in advance especially on a weekend.

Have been here a few times over the two decades I’ve visited London. Always here for the lobster noodles as I love it. We also ordered the prawn - not bad. The restaurant has been renovated. Looks much better than my last visit.
Tan TM - in the last week

11/11/2024-Monday. I have not been to this restaurant since the pandemic. Today, my husband and I decided to have lobster noodles lunch in here. The quality of the lobster noodles is still the same, excellent standard. Sadly, the severs were a bit downside compared to the previous team. I hope, in the future, the servers focus on customers rather than grouping themselves at the bar counter/chatting among themselves with their back facing to the tables. It is quite difficult to get the server's attention when service is needed. Overall, I still give 5 star rating as I feel the kitchen staff do works very hard. The food that served out was pretty quick. I would still recommend to others if their craving for lobster noodles. Highly recommended for lobster noodle dish ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Catherine Rickard - 3 weeks ago

Overall, a pleasant dining experience, food is above average with a decent level of authenticity. Would prefer the noodle to be less soggy. Highly recommend the hot and sour soup, which is well executed compared to most places.

Restaurant is located near Hyde Park London. It was busy when we got there for dinner but they managed to get us a table. We have the popular ginger lobster noodle, roasted duck, asparagus in broth and hot and sour soup. We were wowed by the very flavourful lobster noodle. Duck was good but I the asparagus was a little bland for me. However I love the well balanced hot and sour soup. Highly recommend to those seeking for authentic Chinese food. The server is attentive and funny. Enjoyed the meal

Passed this cafe dozens of times but finally went in recently for a freddo cappuccino and orange pie. It was absolutely wonderful! Kind staff, and the freddo cappuccino and orange pie tasted EXACTLY as it does in Greece. Wonderful to have this cafe in the neighbourhood for whenever we want a trip to Greece 😉

The new management have completely transformed Byzantium Cafe again. The atmosphere is lovely, warm and cosy. The food is simple and delicious, like home made, and beautifully presented. Finally the coffee is good again and the choice of cakes is great. Well done and thank you for making Byzantium such a wonderful place again.

I have come here a couple of times this past year. I love the coffee here. The manager/owner is very warm and welcoming. Their orange pie and other pastries (savoury or sweet) are to die for! So amazing. Their hot food and salads are also great. Definitely recommend people to come here.

The iconic Byzantium Cafe of the 90's had lost its edge. For years it was struggling to find its identity. The new management, completely changed it and although it's not a traditional Greek cafe any more, I have to say that it's brilliant! Imam - stuffed aubergine, the Greek Salad and the mixed salad were all great. Really nice and traditional flavours, nice presentation (without being OTT), friendly staff and reasonable prices. What's not to like?
