Thank you for an amazing stay! We stayed at Ember Locke for my partners birthday and we had the most amazing experience. Shoutout to John who ensured we had a brilliant stay, he made my boyfriend’s birthday even better really going to all the effort! Thank you John and team! The hotel is beautiful, with a lovely bar and the EVE Cafe for breakfast. The rooms are so comfortable and very quiet at night. We can’t wait to return.

Ember Locke is clearly a student housing option, considering all the people studying in the lounge area. This wasn’t a problem. Our small unit had a serviceable kitchenette, comfortable bed and good bathroom. Location is convenient to buses & Tube. Close to Victoria and Albert museum, pubs and restaurants, safe area.

I love the feel of the whole place, i loved the kitchenette in the room, everything you need. I loved spending time in the room. The spaces in the lobby and cafe were just gorgeous. Just a few mins from Earl’s Court station, loads of shops/places to choose from nearby if you want to eat in or out. I really recommend Ember Locke.

We loved staying here. The staff was so friendly and our room was perfect. I was traveling with my 7 year old. The laundry onsite helped us out a lot. The food in the hotel was good - especially for my son who loves pizza (they make great pizza). It is well decorated and in a great part of town.

We stayed for a week and it was an excellent location! It is minutes walking distance to the circle, district and Piccadilly underground lines which will take you to rail stations, to head to the airport, downtown corrections including Westminster abbey, Big Ben, Buckingham etc, and has amazing staff! They were so helpful and informative- we were highly impressed! Highly recommend!

Cosy, with some minor room for improvements

The lobby is lively and colourful, with many convivial sitting areas. The bedrooms are cosy, with a very functional mini kitchen setup. I really liked that they provided yoga mats in the rooms, tucked away in the dresser. Only real negative was the condition of the bathroom. I was in two different rooms, and they both had significant chipped areas of paint missing above the sink that made the whole experience feel more downmarket. Fixing that little thing would go a long way.
