We had a lovely stay at this funky, beautiful hotel that's in a fabulous location! We really enjoyed the whole vibe of the hotel and rooms. Unique in a wonderful way that just makes you smile and the staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast portions are huge so bring your appetite! Located close to Earl's Court you have many options for dining out as well.

This property is in a convenient location on a major road. We requested a quiet room and it was but the air conditioning units are clunky and noisy. It could be improved a lot if the cleanliness and maintenance was up to a higher standard. It is an apartment hotel but no cloth, washing up liquid or tea towel provided. Rooms are not serviced daily (which is okay) but I had to make a couple of requests to get things replenished. Not one of our best experiences and expensive for what you actually got. Had a great time in London overall though.

Our stay at Ember Locke was more than accommodating. Nosh at the front desk (I hope that’s right) was very helpful our first day allowing us to check in a little early after a long flight. The staff was very friendly and we appreciated the convenience of a kitchenette in our room as well as the availability of Eve in the lobby for a quick bite or a coffee in the morning.

The common areas at the Ember Locke Kensington are beautiful. The luxurious fabrics and deep colors brought to my mind “Arabian Nights,” or bohemian lives with opium dens. Beautiful spaces. That rich color scheme carried into our room, but living in that space felt a little less luxe, chiefly because the bathroom was too much like reality: no tissues, no lotion, not enough TP, dicey toilet.
I loved the convenience of the EVE coffee shop in the lobby, and the restaurant was the prettiest space of all with all its plants and velvet banquets. Food there was reliably delicious and fresh. GREAT service too. Hotel service is essentially non-existent as it’s only provided after a full week’s stay. We had to ask for more TP and the garbage/recycling bins to be emptied at the six day mark. The location is great because it’s walkable, and all the staff are welcoming and friendly.

My young adult daughter and I stayed in a duplex suite for two nights. It was her first time in London, so I was looking for a safe and fairly central location.

Positives: comfy beds, quirky decor, AC, very handy 1.5 bathrooms, and space to relax with the well equipped mini kitchen and seating area on the bottom floor. Walkable to plenty of restaurants, a small grocery shop, souvenir shops, and Earl’s Court underground station. And the restaurant is every bit as lovely as it looks in photos!

Notes: while the decor was quirkily art deco, the room was quite tired-feeling and dark - aside from the main bathroom. Not surprisingly for London, the bedroom area was also quite small. I was glad we’d spent the extra to book a duplex!

This hotel was very central and close to the tube and bus lines. The rooms were very clean, the beds were also very comfortable. All of the amenities in the room worked fine, however we didn't use the much (I.E. the cook top, kettle, etc.).

The best part was the staff, exceptionally helpful, kind and knowledgeable. Two staff in particular, Patricia and Jessica helped us out when British Airways deemed it not necessary to load our bag.

10/10 would stay again.

The room was fine. It was decorated nicely, but clearly not well maintained. There were stains on the fabric headboard and couch, toothpaste on the top of the sink, scum on the taps and in the shower, crumbs between the chair cushions, and hairs on the bed sheets. The hallways smelled musty and the housekeeping cart that we saw in the hall was just a repurposed suitcase with a ratty old mop and refilled water bottles of old mystery detergent. If that's what they're cleaning the rooms with, it's a bit concerning.

The staff were not super friendly, but the hotel is in a convenient area, and it was nice having a small kitchenette for food.

Considering the cleanliness and run-down state, the price did not feel worth it, but there were no bigger issues.

This is great location of you don't want to be in the centre of London. Close to South Kensington and Knightsbridge, Picadilly line into the city and to Heathrow. Parking available too. The hotel decor is very quaint. Maintenance seems to be a bit of an issue though, but the staff were quite attentive in resolving issues. You will only have your room cleaned once during your stay, extra cleaning is pricey. They will provide fresh towels on request. We would stay there again, mainly because the location worked for us and we had a hire car.

Nice central location, great rooms, clean. Only issue was I completed a request (on the back of a mail from them) to book a parking spot -heard nothing, could not get through on any number to the hotel, so had to park half an hour away at Westfield which wasn't ideal. Hopefully a one off - but the rest of the stay was great

We stayed in the Ember Locke Suite. The kitchen area was nice. It had a two burner induction plate. Washer/Dryer combo was a bonus for sure. Queen size bed with a decent mattress. The pillows were not good. Very flat.
A/C in the room was nice to have. We liked the curtain to separate kitchen/dining area from bed. Someone could be up early and relax in the dining area with disturbing the other while they slept.
We really liked the area. Kensington/Chelsea
Only about a 5 min walk from Earls Court tube station. Sainsbury's store within walking distance for groceries.
We would stay here again.

Checking in late & tired, so did not really take a lot in. I was only there for one night. The room was fairly well decorated, but reasonably basic, the bed was very comfortable. I could not find a charging point for mobile phones/devices in the room. I didn't need to use it, but if there was one, it wasn't clear where. The receptionist said something about WiFi. I didn't need this, so didn't take much notice. If there was a WiFi code somewhere, I never saw it. In fact, now I think about it, there was no written information in the room about anything. The reception said to contact them with any issues. I'm not sure how, I don't recall seeing a phone in the room! In the morning I wanted coffee. Lead for kettle did not reach from the dressing table to the nearby socket. I had to move things around in the room to plug it in. There was a coffee machine, but no pods, not a problem for me as I don't drink this sort of coffee. There were no coffee sachets either, nor decaf coffee or tea. Again, not a problem for me as I always carry my own decaf coffee sachets. Also, there was no milk or milk substitute. Again, not really a problem for me, happy to drink it black. Hotel has nice ambience, lovely garden, conservatory. We bought coffee and pastry mid-morning, but were not allowed to sit in the conservatory (which was virtually empty). We sat in the garden, which was fine as it was a hot day. Furniture in the garden is a little tired. Hotel was fine for my needs. Quiet area.

At first we were placed in a room that was cramped with a bed anchored against a wall and neither of us could sleep in this cramped space. We tried unsuccessfully to sleep for 3 nights at which point we decided we would have to go elsewhere for the remainder if our stay as the night manager indicated the hotel was full. When we notified the front desk in the morning of the 4th day that we would need to move to another accommodation as we were unable to sleep in the cramped bed. Jess and Michael were extremely helpful in finding us another larger suite in the hotel. This made a huge difference for the remaining week of our vacation and we are very thankful for their quick and immediate response. I wish we had taken this action earlier as we were truly besides ourselves with lack of sleep for three nights, taking turns to sit in the lobby in the middle of the night so the other could sleep. We appreciate both Michael and Jess so much, thank you!

Really enjoyed the stay at Ember Locke. The retro aesthetics and overall design gave the hotel a very cool, unique vibe. Location was very good and well connected, though it was about a 5–10 minute walk to reach busier spots with bakeries, cafés, and restaurants. Overall, a stylish and comfortable place to stay in London.

P.s. the washer/dryer was a bit confusing but staff was helpful.

Great experience at Ember Locke, very short walk to Earls Court station, and close walk from a huge Tesco! Very exciting seeing an Tesco Superstore! And the guy at the front desk that checked us in was so sweet, did not catch his name but he was very understanding and patient with me and my friend as we recovered from paying 100 quid for a cab 😭 give him a raise that’s the goat fr
The room was phenomenal, I’m obsessed with the interior decor, and many amenities, and if we needed something we just texted the WhatsApp number and got it delivered straight to our door. Living lush! Furthermore, the breakfast was great, and the decor once again absolutely clears and I would 100% stay there again if I’m in London.

​I was originally drawn to this hotel because of the stunning decor and overall vibe in the photos, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The property is beautiful, and every single design detail is spot on.
​I had a slight issue with the bed on my first day, but the staff was incredibly helpful and quick to respond. They even upgraded me to a better room, which completely made up!
​I only had the breakfast there, but it was great. Not just the dining area being super Instagrammable, but the food itself was delicious. The common areas are very comfortable and well-suited for getting some work done too.

Really cute hotel room. Very close to train station (about 3 blocks). They had a nice coffee and pizza place in the lobby. Lobby is a vibe. However, I don't know that I could ever stay here again with no climate control in the room. It was not warm outside but It was warm in our room with bolted windows so you couldn't crack them open. They did give us a fan but we enjoy sleeping cold. Just our own preference.

This hotel is upstairs from a loud, busy restaurant. The garden-facing studio was mostly quiet except for the outrageously loud party downstairs one afternoon/night, when their music 's bass vibrated in the walls on the 3rd floor. The D.J., party organizer, and 2 hotel employees refused to adjust it, and acted like I was the problem for asking them to turn it down. (\"They paid for it;\" as if the $1000 I'd paid for 5 nights did not count.) What was lacking was courtesy, consideration for hotel guests, and a manager who cared about people staying in the rooms.

The lobby and restaurant look beautiful in photos, but a perfumed air freshener is spread by 'diffusers;' so the smell is kind of sickening to walk through.

Other than that, it was a good location. Cromwell St. is noisy, but rooms facing away are quieter.

Room was spotless and amazing decor, location etc. However when we arrived the heating had been set to 21 degrees and it was incredibly hot outside. The AC wouldn’t work and when I asked politely at reception I was told the ac hasn’t been put on for the whole building yet and to simply open a window…onto a main road in zone 1 London? I didn’t know if basic science was lacking amongst reception staff, but warm air from outside circulating inside will only keep things…warm.

I raised this upon checkout and how it had affected sleep, to be told I should have been offered a fan instead but received no apology that this went amiss. Upon checkout, not once did staff say “how was your stay”…which again struck me as odd considering even a basic Premier Inn would ask this as a measure of good service.

I would stay here again, but the level of attentiveness to comfort could be worked on. I absolutely am being privileged even talking about heat etc and other first world problems, but nonetheless, I’ve said it now!😂

This is the third time I’ve stayed here in the last three years. Unfortunately, on this visit, I noticed they changed the bedding. There was no top sheet over the bottom sheet. Just the comforter and the bottom sheet quite disappointing. I inquired with the front desk and the hotel maid and no one could give me an answer or provide me with the top sheet. Very disappointing. Especially when you don’t want a heavy comforter on top of you in the warmer months and you just want a sheet.
Also, no box of Kleenex in the hotel room apparently they stopped providing this.
I emailed the management and have yet to receive a reply, explaining these issues

Shocked by the positive reviews!! This place is all looks and no substance.

The entrance smells nice, but that’s where it ends. Corridors stink, carpets are filthy, and the room was disgustingly dirty. Socks turned black from the floor, carpets stained, and the toilet seat was dirty with hairs on it! genuinely made me feel sick even writing this.

We asked to move rooms and got zero apology, just told there were no housekeepers. The second room was barely any better. Staff showed no sympathy at all. It felt like this level of dirt and service is completely normal to them.

This was just a one-night stay and I would never step foot here again. If this is the standard of the rooms, I wouldn’t even trust the restaurant downstairs.

Don’t be fooled by the photos. Avoid.

Eu classificaria minha hospedagem como decepcionante. O hotel não tem limpeza nos quartos só acima de 7 noites, não tem limpeza do chão, retirada do lixo (banheiro e cozinha), papel higiênico você precisa ir na recepção pedir, enfim, reservar um apartamento é melhor do que isso. No meu quarto a descarga não tinha força pra descer um papel, algo que reclamei, mas não foi consertado, também quando eu cheguei tinha luz queimada, num quarto que já é escuro e também não tinha sabonete no suporte do banheiro, o que demonstra uma falta de cuidado antes de entregar o quarto ao hóspede. O café da manhã é excelente, um dos melhores que já comi em hotel, não tem buffet é a la carte, o problema é que demora bastante, teve um dia que esperei mais de 40min, fora que eles são bem desorganizados, para um turista que tem os horários todo organizado gera uma experiência péssima. Não ficaria de novo e não indicaria.

We had a very good impression when we arrived but the maintenance of the property is simply very poor, which is a shame as the hotel looks very nice.
The air conditioning didn't work, the unit was centrally controlled and you weren't able to turn down the temperature. It got really warm at night and we couldn't open the windows either. It was very uncomfortable and couldn't rest well. We also didn't have hot water to take shower on the last day - very disappointing. Not being able to get the basic amenities right simply isn't acceptable from a 4 star hotel..
Whilst Josh at the front desk was personable and friendly, I couldn't say the same about the ladies at the coffee shop, such a bad attitude and arrogance, I don't recommend spending your money there. Overal, although the location is excellent and the rooms have a nice and practical design, we wouldn't come back here as we didn't enjoy our stay.

I am obsessed with this hotel. The decor is incredible and the ambience/vibes are so fun. The beds were insanely comfortable (always important to me) and it was great to have a cafe and restaurant on site. I had coffee and drinks there and both were excellent. The staff was super nice, place was clean, and I would hands down stay there again.

Coffee is terrible, room was alright. They don’t clean it ever, and we stayed for four nights. Staff was unfriendly. Was not allowed to see the garden.

The room didn't feel overly clean and the bathroom was very tired. The staff were friendly but you often had to wait for somebody to come over to the desk. The overall design was great but looked like it wasn't being kept in the condition it should have been in.

Bed bugs. I am leaving with bed bug bites on my hands and wouldn't be surprised if they spread. I stayed here for 3 days, arrived, and there was no fitted sheet, simply just a cushioned thing on the mattress, and I could see the bare mattress. It was disgusting, and the toilet seat was not even connected to the actual toilet base. Past 10PM, there was no one at the front desk, which I believe is a huge safety issue. There are no in-room phones, and my room didnt get cleaned once. Most hotels do daily cleanings, and I wouldn't be surprised if they barely cleaned between guests. While this hotel is aesthetic, it's disgusting and clearly unclean. Do not stay here.

The hotel is very cozy and we enjoyed having the kitchen amenities! The location is terrific, plenty of shopping, dining, gardens and museums near by, although Cromwell St is very busy street. The staff is fabulous- friendly and eager to make your stay a pleasant one

The room was lovely and clean but some things especially in the bathroom were tired, toilet roll holder was hanging off, the lock on the bathroom door fell off and the painting behind the sink was flaking off.
The bed was lovely and clean and comfortable as was the seating area and kitchen. It was disappointing that we were only give 2 coffee pods for 2 of us and we were staying for 2 nights. We did however use the coffee shop downstairs which was lovely but you shouldn’t have to when you pay the price of the room.
The rest of the stay was great, it was quiet in a good location

Interesting place that suffers from a lack of identity and staff. Is it apartments or is it a hotel?
I really loved the style and decor of the place. Lots of cool lounge spaces and pretty rooms with a really nice corner sofa and a kitchenette. But these additions meant the double beds are really squeezed in. I bashed my shin on it several times.
2 lifts, one was broken and the other was slow and sounded like it was about to break.
Got to our room to find there was no toilet roll. Odd but even stranger was the receptions attitude to what was a clear problem. \"Oh well housekeeping has gone now\" - Implication being - \"Tough\" - Followed by rolled eyes and eventually they got some. My colleagues in other rooms had similar issues with this.
We were there almost a week. They don't clean your rooms unless you ask. Which rules out new towels too.
The really fun part was breakfast. They seemed genuinely surprised by the number of guests they had.
Day 1 I did get a breakfast but it took 35 mins to arrive by which time I was late and could only eat half of it. No cows milk and 4 types of alternative milk.
Day 2 - No alternative milk but cows milk. No cups. No markings on Coffee / Tea / Milk so it was literally pot luck. After placing my order they informed me 10 minutes later that they were no longer taking orders for breakfast and mine wouldn't come
Day 3 - Didn't try for breakfast
Day 4 to 6 - Arrived at breakfast at 7.30 - No further problems
I'm sure the problems were due to staff sh

Room and bathroom is particularly ran down.
Room was very dusty so obviously not cleaned thoroughly.
Toilet didn’t flush properly.
On a very busy road.
Room is far too small to have a kitchenette in it.

We stayed for one night and really enjoyed it. We loved how the room was decorated, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable day. In particular, we found the kitchenette to be well appointed. The location was very convenient, only a few minutes walk from Earl’s Court tube station, and despite the hotel being located on a busy road, it was very quiet in the room so we could sleep. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

I loved this hotel. 6 night stay in March. I was upgraded to a loft suite (thank you!). King bed powder room in upstairs bedroom. Kitchen, Nespresso machine. My place faced the street but was utterly quiet. Loved everything about it.
Only one suggestion. A reading light somewhere?
I've recommended and will, I hope, return.

Hotel was well situated with lots of restaurants and shopping nearby however room looked a bit dated and could have done with a deeper clean. The grout in the shower was stained, fabric on the furniture had stains and there was spilt coffee on the table when we checked in.

Overall nice room, though found a stray toe nail clipping in each of our adjoining rooms. Sink faucet had lime buildup/rust, and drain plug broken. Would be nice to have a box of tissues available in the room. Staff were great, though. And rooms were otherwise comfortable.

I really enjoyed the ambience of the hotel and my room. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had ample counter space. Everyone I encountered were extremely kind and took great care in what they were doing. For the room and the location, it was a great value. I wish I had tried the pizza. :(

We were unfortunately quite disappointed with our recent stay. We chose to upgrade our room and paid extra, so we were expecting a noticeably higher standard than what we experienced.

Upon arrival, the room did not appear to have been cleaned thoroughly. The table clearly needed a proper wipe, and when we pulled the bed slightly away from the wall, we found a woman’s top behind it, which we left in the room. This raised concerns about the overall cleanliness and attention to detail.

Additionally, one of the bedside lights was not working, and the headboard had visible marks on it. These issues made the room feel poorly maintained and not up to the standard we would expect — particularly given the additional amount we paid for the upgrade.

This is my second time staying here, and to be honest, if it wasn’t for the location, I’m not sure that I would again. The staff are pleasant and I love the aesthetics, but it’s the little things that have all added up this trip. From a bit of black mould in the shower, chipped and peeling paint in the bathroom and how most of the cutlery in the suite were dirty/had yogurt/soap on them. I like all the perks that you get with their loyalty program (early check in/out) but again, I might look at what else is near the next time.

All the staff are friendly and helpful at this well-located hotel, near Earl’s Court. The decor has a style and originality, the room was clean, comfortable, and the whole place has a beautiful smell. I had a garden room, which is quiet, if a little dark. There is a cafe and restaurant serving a decent enough menu. I would definitely stay here again - highly recommended.
