When I first moved to Dublin I went to a Dentist in the Docklands, the Dentist assured me I should get X-rays and then went through a long lengthy list of all the faults he could see and how great he was at correcting them. Then he charged me €75 and gave me a break down of the other costs which was the equivalent of a round the world trip with all the trimmings.

I didn't return, instead I went to visit Dr Huw from a friends recommendation. I showed him the list of things I apparently needed done and he assured me they weren't necessary. He makes his clients feel at ease straight away and really listens to them, I never leave with that heavy feeling of oh god how am I going to afford this. Molesworth Dental is a family run practise with excellent rates and a nice homely feel to it.

I often stay here when I'm in London for work, I really love the feel of this place. It's small and personable which is what you're looking for if you're traveling on your own. The staff and incredibly friendly and helpful. Don't come here if you're expecting a big hotel room though, the Z chain of hotels is unique in that all their rooms are compact in size with all your basic amenities close by. This is not for everyone, however I really admire the way they've utilized the space and what he rooms lack in size they make up for it in comfort. The beds are very comfortable.

The only disappointment I had this time round was choosing an internal room with no window. I thought it would be ok, but without natural light in the morning it made it hard to wake up. Definitely do not pick this room if you're coming off a long haul flight.

Another nice perk is from 5-8pm they have free wine/cheese for guest!

Like many Chinese restaurants the menu was huge, lots of variety & western options. Although we were the only Westerners here - a good sign the food is authentic. Service was fast and polite. A good option for off the beaten track Chinese food, relaxing atmosphere in a curious mix of American diner & Asian glitz.

I popped in for a catchup with friends and ordered some brunch, their prices are more reasonable than when it was Ely. Food was tasty and good value, only downer for us was the waiter was a bit rude when we tried to move from our outside table which was cold into an indoor one. He got very short when I mentioned there was a table free and asked that I stand by the main desk then left us there. Eventually someone else said we could take the table, to be fair on the staff it was a very hectic morning but a little courtesy goes a long way.

I wanted to give this place more stars because the waitress who initially served us was lovely, we both ordered  Pad Thais one with prawns and the other mixed seafood. Although the flavors were ok the noodles were overcooked and just really average. The restaurant wasn't full and there were a lot of staff on but the service was painfully slow, with some waiters even walking right past customers trying to wave them down. The lighting was very dark with techno music playing too loudly for an evening meal. We wondered whether it turned into a nightclub after a certain hour? It has potential to be a really good restaurant, with a bit of an interior makeover (it was an odd mash of modern thai and 90s disco) and some focus on getting the basic thai dishes right.

the first rule of Adventure rooms is do not take photos when inside the rooms, the 2nd rule is.. well you get the drift. I think we all entered a little hesitant of what to expect and how well we'd do (or maybe that was just me)

This is by far one of the best team building exercises I've done in a while, I enjoyed how everyone on our team contributed to the success of solving the various challenges. We all have different strengths and when you combine these together you can move mountains - or figure out how to get the hell out of that room!

We did a split of 2 teams competing against each other to either get out of one room or break into the other. The rooms are put together very well, with lighting, music and a clock counting down the minutes to add to the tension. The Staff were friendly, helpful and encouraging, this is especially important if you don't make it out of the room... which in the end doesn't even seem like the point of it, it's the teamwork and excitement of trying to solve everything in time!

SW miller is a small, intimate restaurant wedged between larger businesses on Sth William - it would be easy to walk right pass it. If my friend hadn't recommended it I'd never have gone in, we ordered a Calzone and Salad with goats cheese both were delicious. They seem to do mostly Pizza, Calzone, salads and various starters but the food is tasty, fresh and reasonably priced. We also had a few glasses of a tasty red, the seating is interesting too old cinema seats and mis matched furniture give it a student hangout feel.

I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a casual bite to eat & drink amongst some of the more expensive eateries that South William seems to offer.

The location of this hotel is fantastic, really in the heart of Soho and close to 2 tube stops Victoria and Picadilly. The hotel itself has made clever use of limited space, your room is a condensed version of a normal sized room, when I lay on the bed and reached one arm out I could touch the shower/toilet and if I stretched my leg out I'd touch the desk or chair - it's tiny, but I knew that so wasn't surprised. The only downfall was when I woke in the night forgot where I was, and almost took out the coffee pot on my desk!

I found the staff here lovely, really friendly and helpful. I also like the inside courtyard of winding stairs and an area to view the rooftops of London. I think it's ideal if you're visiting London for business for a few days as you don't need a large room, also loved how from 5-8 they gave the guest unlimited wine/cheese in the kitchen.

The things that I feel could be improved is installing some kind of shower curtain between the shower and toilet, it was difficult not to wet the whole floor and installing some shut out blinds. Overall though I enjoyed my stay and would return.

The Light House is more than just a Cinema, with an array of games downstairs and a ton of special events. They also show a good range of movies, not just the big blockbusters. They have a good selection of foreign language and Arthouse movies. But there is something about this Cinema that feels quite special from the tasty food at the cafe, to the funky seating in the main areas. Perhaps even the fact you can buy a glass (or bottle) of wine and take it in with you to your movie if you wish.

The staff are also warm and friendly which adds to the overall feeling that you're here for the whole Light house experience, not just to sit on your butt for a few hours to escape reality. Which when you do so is on VERY comfy chairs!
