Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We have stayed for a couple days at Lemon Tree Premier Jaipur. The ambience has been very good. The stay has been made very comfortable by the hospitable staff like Mr. Siyaram, Mrs. Tanisha, Mr. Narsi, Mr. Jojo, Mr. Hadar, Mr Shailesh, Mr Bhawani, Miss Sonu, Mr. Vijaykumar. I will recommend this place for anyone visiting Jaipur.

    Lots of small, cute shops with souvenirs and vintage clothes (designed), but the prices are higher than elsewhere in London. The houses are beautiful and specific. It is not a part of London that I would recommend as a must.

    Fantastic gun experience! Covered the history of gin, how it’s made and how it’s flavoured. With an expert Ginstructor we saw, felt and tasted all the different botanicals then constructed our own bespoke gin, a bottle of which we took home. All of this, accompanied by a very generous selection of cocktails, made for a brilliant afternoon.
    Thanks so much to Jess and the rest of the team at Portobello Gin

    Bayswater is a nice neighborhood between the Paddington Railway Station and Hyde Park. I like walking in here when I get off the train at Paddington.

    I went in to book a table for later that evening and the staff were amazing. Sat at the table and asked for 5 mins to choose, no problem. There was a big order nearby and staff said our order might take longer, but we were fine with that. Food, drinks, service were excellent. I only ate half my meal and took the leftovers home. I'm a fan. Good food, great staff. Don't tell everyone!

    Absolutely love this cinema, the seats are amazing and i would recommend the brownies served at the bar in the back of the cinema. They only play one or two films per week, but its still a fantastic experience and lovely venue.

    While visiting Notting Hill, we took a stroll along Westbourne Grove. We had heard that this was one of the "happening" places in this part of London.
    This may well be the case in the evenings but during the daytime it was very quiet. We looked at a few over-priced specialty shops and passed by several swish restaurants and cafes.
    However, there really was not a lot here which excited us. We preferred other parts of Notting Hill!

    Crazy bohemian bar with sloping floor. Drinks served from grand piano. Decor and furnishings madly eclectic. A real hidden treasure.

    I have loved the cathedral and I’ve dreamed to have my baby boy baptised there , but I am very dissatisfied and disgusted with the treatment we received from the priest and their staff members 😰
    I have booked the church paying the deposit since December, for the baptism to take place on the 21 st August and also I needed the crypt because my mother is seriously ill and I couldn’t use a fancy restaurant or a party !
    I am not sure if is the poor communication between Katerina , their receptionist and the priest ( Theonas) but I’ ve been told that he will give the key for the crypt to my husband on Friday and we will have the Friday afternoon for arranging the place with ornaments and everything its needed to have a special day ! We have traveled with a new born baby from Southampton since 9 a clock to get there in time to get the key but, because of the very bad traffic we were late ! My husband has got there , but the attitude of the priest was appalling telling my husband that he can’t give him the key now, he needs to come Saturday morning at 10 a clock to take the key to arrange the crypt !!😂
    There was nothing arranged from their part . How did they expect us to arrange a room and having a baby to look after and also to get ready in time for the church ceremony and also the photo shoots that I ‘ve paid £600 .
    I refused to have the crypt on this condition and the stress we have had with a day before the Baptism , searching for a restaurant for hours , was very upsetting and stressful! Lucky we were helped by our hotel we were staying at Hilton Hyde Park and arranged there for the baptism reception!
    Saturday we have arrived at the church at 2 a clock , so we have enough time for the photo shoots and to arrange nicely with all my of my son’s baptism souvenirs ! The photographer was also booked from 2 a clock because I have been told from Katerina that I could come earlier than 3 a clock because there is no other Baptism before me !!!
    We had a 2 months old baby and the guests in the church garden waiting with us for a hour , in the rain ! Numerous times we rang the bell and at 3 a clock I was shouting at them for this disguising attitude we received ! They have opened the church at 3 a clock , there was nothing arranged for my baby’s Baptism. Again , Katerina has told me that , there it will be some flowers arrangements but I am welcome to bring any extra if I wish! Lucky I have bought myself some nice flowers that my friend put it on! There was no staff members to help or guide us with the arrangements and the baby’s Baptism !

    I expected better service when I paid £590 for a Baptism that was late, on rush and the priest was doing CONFESSION WITH A STRANGER at 3 a clock ( my time booked and paid ) , when it supposed to start my baby’s blessing ceremony not to have a hungry and tired baby crying baby 40 minutes after 🤢We were all stressed out and tired and my baby was crying the whole ceremony!

    There are not happy pictures either because of this appalling episode ! Everyone were stressed and bored even the guests they were tired !
    I wouldn’t ever put my foot in their church even though I love the cathedral and I will chose a different church my my baby first communion with his Godparents this Sunday !

    The ceremony was ok but has been spoilt by a very bad approach and attitude

    So disappointed. The outside was eye catching and the inside was dark and dreary ,room for about four people to shop, most of store roped off. Uninviting and would not go back. I guess you can not judge a book by its cover. Overall feeling that the owners really do not care to run a business.

    We had lunch for two couples David the waiter recommendations were wonderful. Up to 3 plates to every diner. We recommend the sea bus , octopus, shrimps were gorgeous, Spanish soup was great.
    It wasn’t so cheap for ordinary lunch but we enjoyed every plate that we ordered.

    When in London for a meeting I was close to Notting Hill so I ventured to the Bookshop made famous by Hugh Grant in the movie 'Notting Hill'. As well as being a great bit of movie nostalgia the shop itself has an awesome selection of travel books. It gets busy with tourists all wanting a photo, surprising how famous it still is all these years after the film was released... I suppose that just shows what a classic film Notting Hill is and what a great shop the Bookshop is too.

    What a talented artist! Not far from Buckingham Palace, if you're in the area it's worth taking a look at this gallery.
    My daughter studied Stephen's work but it was fascinating to see the originals, read about the artist and to see the video clips of the great man in action.

    Great mural of a great man but at time of visit (August 2016) there was scaffolding up, which was a shame but Portobello Road is always worth a visit.
