The Ember Locke Kensington is chic with a laid-back vibe, and genuinely kind and friendly staff. The duplex room was unique, spacious, and well appointed—just the right amount of low-key luxury, and well worth the upgrade. We would stay there again without hesitation.

Upgrade to a duplex and enjoyed the extra space. So many highlights of London are walkable and the tube not far. Staff were very helpful. Coward in the bar and restaurant are on the younger side but so many amazing options close by.

Only stayed one night, but location was great with access to a train station. Close to Hyde park if you wanted to walk. Room was spacious and really well decorated. Loved the addition of pots etc if we stayed longer and wanted to cook. Didn’t eat at the hotel but restaurant was vibrant

Loved the aparthotel, and having access to laundry and a mini kitchenette. Room and bathroom were both spacious, well decorated and felt like I was staying at home. Loved the small touches in the lobby/bar area and close proximity to Earl Court station made it so convenient to get around London. Will definitely choose a Locke next time I'm in Europe!

Great location and nice style. Could be great with more attention to detail and some changes. There needs to be better airflow in rooms, and the lighting in rooms is so dim it is hard to see, never mind do work or read.
