Charming and convenient. This boutique hotel combines character with excellent customer service in a location that is close to the underground/tube and lots of restaurants and shops. I would 100% stay again and recommend. It’s a great value option that doesn’t compromise on cleanliness and style.

Ember Locke Kensington was the perfect location for our family spring break. Quieter neighborhood to get good rest, close to Earl’s Court tube with three lines for quick connections through the city, a bus stop right in front of the hotel that’ll take you to the museums, and a Sainsbury’s around the corner to load up on groceries/snacks. Would definitely stay again!

Booked 2 nights at the Ember Locke for the first leg of our trip, and we liked it so much that we cancelled our other booked hotel for the second leg, and came back for 3 more nights. -The location was perfect (5 min walk from Earl’s Court station). -The rooms were spacious and bed very comfortable and we had everything we needed. -The bathroom was very clean and shower was amazing. -The food at the coffee shop and the restaurant was delicious, and the atmosphere was wonderful. -Staff was friendly and helpful.

DO NOT STAY IN THIS PLACE

I am shocked by my stay in this place. I booked the hotel online and read the whole hotel description very carefully. This place is not a hotel; it is more like an Airbnb. The first shock is that during the 6 nights I stayed, there was no maid service for the room, which means that if. You would like your room cleaned up. GOOD LUCK. I was not previously informed that this place would provide maid service after a week's stay. Now, what kind of hotel has no phone service to connect to the reception? THIS IS THE ONE!! If you need fresh towels, please go to the reception, and someone will bring toilet paper to your room within 24 hours. That is what you get, a very "hippie: hotel with a bunch of young people hanging out at tables and working in a coop space. The Hotel, so-called, restaurant will not take room charges. DO NOT STAY IN THIS PLACE.
