    The breakfast we had as part of our stay at the hotel was excellent - superb food and service, best breakfast I‘ve had as part of a hotel booking (special shoutout to Pawel who prepared excellent meals and was super friendly and attentive, noticing that my friend and I always shared the food and prepared individual plates for the both of us). We also had dinner once during our stay, which was also really good (Prince really knows how to take care of his customers!). Lovely ambience and staff! Recommend!

    A lovely place, just a short distance from Aldgate tube station. Excellent, attentive, yet not intrusive service from Jillur. Lovely food, great tasting ( I had an quinoa salad and chicken) and balanced portions. good prices especially so close to the square mile. A delicious whisky sour with Makers Mark 46 (not common in UK) and a great smooth taste. There is music, it does not disturb and lends a chilled ambience to the place. 100% recommend and would come back.

    A lovely evening here for my sisters birthday. The food was absolutely delicious, a couple of favourites were the steak, fish and chips & momos. The atmosphere was great, with happy hour cocktails - £5 margaritas & beers. We booked with first table for 50% off and the food was quite incredible. The service was excellent, with a special thanks to Jill & Prince for making our night so great. Jill & Prince very kindly organised a lovely dessert for my sister’s birthday, which was a lovely treat. I recommend the pistachio cheesecake, which was a unique dish - which I’ll be thinking about for a while! Five star, all round service from the initial greeting, throughout the dinner & saying goodbye 😊 - we will be back!
