Beautiful hotel

It was a beautiful hotel, very trendy and tastefully decorated. The room was clean and comfy and the staff were all friendly and helpful. My only comment would be that it takes a long time for breakfast - I had to wait 20 mins and ask twice for my daughter's croissant and it wasn't that busy. The previous day was a bit slow too. Maybe a buffet style would be better.

Wonderful week long stay

Had a wonderful week long stay at Ember Locke. Our first few days were a little warm as they still had central heat on even though it was mild outside, but after about 2 days they turned that off and we were able to be more comfortable in the room. The front desk was always there to answer questions for us. Really recommend

We stayed in another Locke property in Edinburgh and the one in London was FAR superior. The room was gorgeous, the design of the spaces were beautiful and the front desk staff we so friendly. We would recommend Ember Locke to anyone- but save your money and don’t stay at Eden Locke in Edinburgh

Loved it!

Lovely eclectic extended stay hotel. Front desk staff all very friendly and helpful. Room was small, but worked well for my needs. There are a few areas of the hotel that could do with some updating (tile in entry, upholstery in my room, etc.) but overall it’s really lovely. The attached restaurant was very good also!

London stay

Check in was easy and welcoming. A lovely quirky hotel where we felt relaxed and comfortable. The bedroom was fine and comfy The only thing I would change is to move the bed away from the wall as it was difficult to access down one side

I really enjoyed staying at Ember Locke, the room was beautifully decorated and had everything I needed. It’s a great location, very walkable to Earls Court station and Kensington High Street. I would really recommend it to anyone staying around here. Just for balance, the room was very hot despite the heating in the room being turned off. I found the service at breakfast a little bit chaotic but the food was fantastic. Would appreciate if mugs could have been available at breakfast as the cups were very small!

The AC wasn’t on so we had to leave our windows open which is bizarre especially since we paid so much for this accommodation. There’s a hospital couple mins away so sleep wasn’t comfortable as we were hearing ambulance sounds through the day and night as the results of keeping the windows open.

Great location, comfy rooms and an awesome vibe

Quite simply, this is a fantastic hotel in an excellent location. The pictures included in the listing are accurate. The common areas and the two rooms we had were exactly what we expected. There is even a free laundry (with washing powder) by the fitness room! A bus stop out front, a 20 minute loading zone for cars just a few yards away and loads of restaurants and shops surrounding the Earls Court Tube station just a 3 minute walk down the street. The hotel had many amenities and activities on, and was always buzzing with people in the bar and lobby. It felt safe and fun and the staff was pleasant and inviting. A real gem of a hotel that I will definitely seek out on my next trip to London. I would offer one small piece of advice to any future visitor: Although the rooms have heat, they do not have cooling (not unusual for UK rooms). We were there in March and could just crack the window for some air but if you were to visit in the warmer months, you may want to inquire about a fan.

Beautifully and uniquely decorated space. Staff were friendly. Room comfortable. Only issue was a strange smell in the room; I don't know if it's because of the way the kitchen and room are connected but the room had a smell of food rubbish. However, reception were nice about it and listened to the feedback, which I appreciated.

Ember Locke is a beautiful hotel with friendly staff and a very convenient location. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because it was rather hot in our room, but the hotel would not turn on the A/C. We were told to open our windows. This didn’t help much and the street noise was very loud. Other than this, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Super comfy beds!

The hotel is very convenient to the Underground and bus options, and close to all the usual tourist destinations. The staff is gracious and very helpful. Highly recommend!
