All good except the restaurant. I have ordered a beef steak cooked medium rate and ı did not get the quality for the price ı have paid. It was one steak that was difficult to slice and chew as it was not tender at all. Quite a dissatisfaction and when ı gave this feedback, the guy in charge of the restaurant did absolutely nothing with the feedback and ignored my feedback. However other than this bad experience at the hotels restaurant for dining, the hotel was great, great rooms and accommodation, great staff at check in and check out. I would definitely stay there but without using the restaurant

We stayed for 6 Nights at the Sofitel St. James. Upon arrival, the staff was very attentive and made our trip an extra special experience. The room was beautiful, clean and spacious. The bathroom luxurious. The hotel is centrally located and close to tourist attractions and public transportation. The breakfast choices were plentiful, perfectly prepared and delicious. We would gladly return to this property in the future.

We have hosted dinner for a birthday event, at the Restaurant, and date nights at the Bistro- both occasions staying over. Every visit The hotel atmosphere and rooms are wonderful. The best aspect of the London location are the phenomenal cocktails/ wine choices …. And the hospitality! Both occasions the mixologists, waitresses and manager have made us feel like royalty…. and family. Hospitality is a dying art & happy to see it preserved at the Sofitel- both their London and Dubai hotel/ resorts, feel like home , thank you!

During my recent visit to London for the Christmas days with my wife and granddaughter I had the opportunity to stay at Sofitel Hotel St, James. It was an excellent choice for it's location, quality and service. Easy walk to the shopping district and lots of eating establishments. I highly recommend this hotel. I assure you will not regret staying at this property. Dilip Patel

Delicious and flavourful food presented in the most beautiful way. While we expected the food to be great, the service levels were excellent too. Right from entering the restaurant, all the way to the dining experience - everything was on point and borderlining absolute perfection. We were here to celebrate a birthday, and the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary birthday dessert. How very thoughtful!! We will surely be back again 🙏🏽

Went here for my sons birthday . From the welcoming lovely smiling doorman all the staff were very attentive. The decor and vibe was very nice. We chose the taster menu and added a lamb shank which was all 1st class alot of food and well worth the money in my opinion. There were 5 of us and with taster menu 2 bottles of wine plus cocktails it came to £150 per head which sounds alot to most people who are used to a normal curry house but this place is a very nice treat for a special occasion

What a beautiful restaurant. Very spacious with areas for large group as well as intimate dinner dates. Went on a premade reservation for a table for 4. We arrived early but seated right away. Service was excellent. Wait staff was attentive and prompt. We started off with couple of cocktails. We got the lychee & rose, and the spiced cucumber & mint margarita. The lychee & rose was very good; Very refreshing. The margarita was interesting, For starter we got the bori soya mince samosa which was cooked to perfection and was flavorful. It came with green and tamarind sauce which were excellent. We also got the tandoori lamb barrah kabob, and my god! It was so good- very tender, juicy, perfectly seasoned and very flavorful! Highly recommend this item. For main we got chicken dilkush, very slow cooked Kashmiri lamb, and the Hyderabad lamb biryani. All three entries were cooked to perfection, meat was tender and juicy, the sauces were very flavorful, and perfectly balanced seasoning of salt, acid, sweet, and spice. The lamb biryani, and Kashmiri lamb were both highly recommend. Overall an exceptional dining experience and we would definitely be returning. A Michelin star well deserved.

Great staff and good experience. Food was too mild and sweetish in comparison to authentic Indian. Overall a pleasant experience with decent food

First Michelin Star Experience: Had lunch with friends at Veeraswamy, and there's no strict dress code for lunch, just smart casual—so no tracksuits, torn jeans, or baseball caps, and try to avoid bringing backpacks if possible. The food was fantastic, truly up to the Michelin star standard, with impeccable presentation. My most favourite one was the lamb chops. Why am I saying this? Probably lamb chops cooked in an Indian style is to live for and die for. I also enjoyed the Pineapple juice, it was probably the best one I'll have till I die. Overall, we had a delightful meal, and the staff were very polite. The desserts were good, though not quite on par with other Michelin star restaurants per my friend's thoughts. This was my first Michelin star experience, and I'm looking forward to many more in the future. PS: Children under 10 are strictly not allowed.

Everything about Bocca di Lupo is outstanding. It was Saturday evening and we walked in, without a booking. The staff were very welcoming and did what they could to accommodate us. Service was friendly and relaxed, but also attentive - perfect! The interior design is stylish, classic and comfortable. The artwork is especially good. The food surely has to be the best Italian food, in London. Everything, from the bread to the dessert, was perfection. Incredible!

What an exquisite meal! We sat up at the kitchen counter and were blown away by the hard work and dedication of the chefs all evening. Food is fantastic - highlights included the venison ragù, salt baked fish and the chickpeas. It’s worth checking out the desserts too! Service is attentive, drinks menu is wide-ranging and the atmosphere is buzzy and exciting. Well worth a treat!

I visited Bocca Di Lupo this last Friday which makes it the third time I have visited the restaurant. We sat at the bar in front of the kitchen which for a party of 2 is my favourite place to sit. I can confidently say that Bocca Di Lupo is one of my favourite restaurants in London! From the friendly and helpful staff who cater to every query and need you have. To the exquisite food the chefs produce which never disappoints, it really should be on the top of your lists to try! (The picture below is the Tuna which we shared as a main course… I’m normally not a fan of grilled tuna but this was rich and perfectly seasoned- truly showcases the quality of ingredients they use)

Great restaurant with nice Italian dishes. I recommend veal battuto, seafood pasta and, of course, cannoli. Pumpkin is good if you like pumpkin. Partridge is also tasty but quite difficult to eat as it comes whole.
Ilya Perelman - 2 weeks ago

I always try to head back to Bocca di Lupo for a meal when I am in London, and it never disappoints. The service and staff are genuine, welcoming, and warm, and the food is delicious. We had the ravioli this past meal, and it was so good, we ordered another portion. The friend that I took with me said it was her best meal in London (and we had been to several outstanding places). Snag a seat at the counter to watch the action and maybe have a chat or two with your neighbors and make new friends. Once you’re done, pop across the street to get a gelato to help digest the meal properly. You’ll be glad you did.

I visited the restaurant and had a very pleasant meal. The waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and most helpful organising gluten free bread for my meal. The chef cooked the food to perfection, there was simply everything to like. Highly recommended

Stayed at the hotel during the NYE period and have everything good to say about it. Joao and Olivia were extremely helpful to ensure our room was as per what we booked, and gave us tips on how to avoid the crowd during the NYE countdown. They were extremely helpful, and were willing to go out of the way at all times to ensure our stay was pleasant. Would definitely come back. Thank you for making our stay amazing! Keep the good job up!

We were very happy with our stay at the Thistle. We arrived early before check-in, hoping to leave a bag while we went out to explore, but were told our room was all ready and we could get in early, which was a lovely surprise. The room it self was comfortable and clean. The location was an easy walk to many of the areas we planned on visiting (West End, Chinatown, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, The National Gallery, St. James Park, Soho, etc.) The room was fairly quiet at night, considering we were only a few blocks from a busy area. As an added bonus, the room came with water bottles, coffee, tea and biscuits that were refreshed daily. I would definitely recommend the Thistle in Trafalgar Square.

We stayed here for our family vacation to London. This is a great location, and within mins of everything. Very convenient walking distance to major entertainment and food options. The staff here are amazing and helpful. The place is very clean and our entire room was full windows and views! Now, the only issue I had was the bathroom. Fixtures were loose, I needed to tighten the shower head myself. Some of the tiles were cracked, the toilet seat was loose, and the toilet paper holder fell off the wall. The worst part was that shower controls were very loose and hard to get a temperature every use. Other than that, the bed was very comfortable, we had a lot of closet space and a mini fridge in our room. Across the street, there are amazing options for a quick breakfast, too. And one block up, you will find many options for dining and entertainment.

Hotel is fine- room was clean ish and bed very comfy and very big. Location is everything and the reason for the price tag- far from luxury- and the walls are pretty thin- you can hear people talking straight through the walls.

“A fantastic experience for meat lovers! I highly recommend choosing the option that includes everything – every cut of meat was impeccably prepared and absolutely delicious. A true treat for anyone who appreciates quality and flavor!”

Edison was extremely mannerly, friendly and welcoming. Super helpful with wine recommendations and our meal options. Every time he greeted us it was always with a smile and making sure we were enjoying the experience. Food was delicious, atmosphere cosy. Will definitely be returning!

I went for brunch with a group of 4. The drinks were exceptional and free-flowing. The food was pretty good, but there were some things on the menu that were not as memorable. The sausages were exceptional. It is important to clarify with the waiter any preferences you might have. Our table, for instance, did not want blood sausages. We should have advised the waiter of this ahead of time. Otherwise, everything was fantastic!
Ej Davis - 2 months ago

Absolutely everything we ate was delicious, from the steaks to the fish to the starters. Even the broccoli was the amazing. Service was fantastic, presentation and atmosphere was beautiful. We had a very lovely time for my husbands birthday. They brought out a delicious little cake to celebrate him free of charge and it tasted phenomenal. Honestly such a wonderful place, we will definitely be back. We couldn’t even wait to take some pictures. I I’ll definitely be back and 10000% recommend you visit.

We went to this restaurant yesterday for dinner (Saturday 05/OCT) and we were two. The location is particular and welcoming. The food was very very good: variety of beef and very high quality, even the cooking was perfect; the fries were delicious. Our server, Krzysztof was friendly, outgoing and very professional. He suggested to me the dessert: the cheesecake and it was the perfect end of the meal. The restaurant is in an optimal position to visit London and the prices are good considering the quality of food and the fact it is in Piccadilly.

Randall & Aubin is a charming little restaurant located in central London, just a short stroll from the main theaters and popular attractions. While the ambiance can feel a bit cramped when the restaurant is busy, we found ourselves seated against a wall with limited space to move. Our neighbors were so close that it felt like they were almost part of our dining experience! Fortunately, they left shortly after we arrived, and we asked the waiter if we could move to a table by the window. He was very accommodating and quickly cleaned the table for us. There was a minor misunderstanding with the manager, who thought we had moved without waiting, but he graciously apologised. As for the food, it was impressive—delicious and surprisingly affordable, with a menu that predominantly features fish dishes. Each item was flavorful and well-prepared. The dessert was a highlight, both delectable and visually striking, perfectly in line with the theatrical vibe of the area. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Randall & Aubin and will definitely return.

This was my 1st visit to Randall & Aubin & it was a recommendation from a good friend. I really enjoyed it. I loved the building, the food,the ambience & the staff were lovely. I had 2 starters instead of a main please because I wanted to try the crab & the scallop dishes. These were wonderful.
Maureen Dean - 3 weeks ago

One of the best locations for seafood in London. Loved everything we ordered but the miso hake and the crab is worth the mention. Amazing ! Would highly recommend to anyone. Additionally, the service is top tier. All of the waitresses are lovely and helpful. - great advice for wine pairings
Çağla Ekşi - 3 months ago

A wonderful place with excellent staff and delicious food. The onion and fish soup, as well as the mussels, were the best we’ve ever had. They even offer Hungarian wine, Tokaji Aszú. We would gladly return!
Olga Horvat - a month ago

The prawn cocktail was absolutely lovely, as were the scallops. Very good wine selection too. We had a lovely meal, my only feedback would be that the tables at the front are quite close together which means people sitting behind you struggle to get out.

Nice pub in The center of London! Good variety of beers, IPA, no casks, The ambient IS great;, good service and product! Plenty of space and IS really good to do an afterwork!
Josep Antoni R.R. - in the last week

Fantastic looking pub. I mean I haven't seen better one in my life. It's huge and with superb atmosphere. It's like some mid eval church but with this warm feeling. It's simply stunning. The only downside is the prices. Very easy to spend over £100.
Mr. Matt Matten - 3 weeks ago

This place is AMAZING! Great beers, staff members are very nice and the atmosphere is absolutely stunning! Different rooms so everyone can have one matching his vibe, each being absolutely beautiful. I'm sure they don't need advertisment, but I highly recommend this pub! You have to experience the atmosphere!
Mowgly JungleKing - 2 months ago

Stopped in for a pint - labyrinth would be the right word ! We could get over how the bars and stairs kept going. Beautiful architecture, nice bars, great service, and the best pint of Guinness I found in my half day in London. Great atmosphere, and not so loud that you can't have a conversation. If I ever make it back there, I'll be visiting again for sure.

This is a great pub, full of character and interesting things to look at, housed in a beautiful building. I had a nice pint of Beavertown neck oil costing £8.11p.

This is a nice restaurant with a very friendly and professional restaurant manager. The interior is spartan but nice. The food is good, and the servings are generous. But the competition among Italian restaurants in London is tough, and there are many great restaurants to choose from. We enjoyed our visit though.
Bull Dogg - a month ago

Thanks for the great food, wine and brilliant service. Seafood Risotto is my favourite. Love it. Not to mention, other dishes were awesome as well. The wine is especially excellent here too. I really appreciate their service, they not only provide a good recommendation, but also very considerate. Thanks

Went there for supper after a wine tasting at L'Escargot last week. Lovely Chicken Milanese - my wife dined here once a week for lunch for several years in the early 2000's and, reliably, it's still good value, good service and good food and wine. Had a Tiramisu each for pud, should have shared one!
Justin Hill - 3 months ago

This Japanese restaurant is located on Lower John Street in the Soho area. The shop features conveyor belt sushi, and the staff provided good service. We ordered chicken bites, tempura shrimp udon, and a selection of hand rolls, beers and sushi. The sushi was visually appealing, with fresh ingredients and vibrant colors, but the taste was average and didn’t stand out. I also tried the matcha ice cream, which was quite unpleasant. They do offer hot green tea in a teapot for customers to serve themselves, which is a nice touch. Overall, while the atmosphere was pleasant, I don’t think I’ll be returning.

Really enjoyed this place on my lunch break. Working in Soho for 12 years and am so pleased you can still find somewhere new and interesting to eat. This authentic sushi restaurant delivered on all fronts. I shall be returning for my sushi cravings!

This hole in the wall ‘sushi train’ style restaurant is immaculately clean, fast friendly service and super fresh seafood. Great spot for a quick and healthy bite to eat. Huge menu choices as well as a la carte. Highly recommend the soft shell crab rolls. See photo
