Lovely hotel in a convenient location a short walk from Earls Court tube station. Very pleasant and helpful staff and plenty of them to assist. Nice bar area. The soundproofing in the room was excellent no noise from the busy Cromwell Rd outside. Air conditioning worked well. The room had a small kitchen area which could be screened off with a curtain which we didn’t use but was a nice feature. Clean bathroom with toiletries. Please note that you need photo ID when checking in. This wasn’t clear when making the reservation but fortunately I had a photo of my passport on my phone otherwise there may have been a problem.

Good stay overall, didn’t realise it is not actually a hotel but Aparthotel. The reception had an overwhelming air freshener, would not recommend to someone with severe asthma (like myself). Some loose socks lying in the corridors which is obviously not the hotel’s fault, but rubbish bags also often in the hallway.

I loved my stay at Ember Locke - Kensington, and I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in London. I was actually a bit under the weather this trip and spent more time watching tv in my room than I expected, and it was really nice to have such a special hotel room to be stuck in. Loved my back garden view and having a washer-dryer in my room. I ordered pizza for pick-up from the downstairs bar one night, and it was great. I also got a coffee from the cafe every morning that was amazing. It was also very convenient to take the Piccadilly line from Earl’s Court to Heathrow.

Bare Bones

Ember Locke- very bare bones. I did NOT realize this was essentially a self service hotel meaning- no room cleaning, no room trash pick up, no fresh towels... no service what so ever. I stayed there with my best friend 4 nights and five days. I had to go down to the front desk twice to request toilet paper. Each time they would only give me a single roll each time- stingy. I had to request a fresh towel twice in order to get one. There one was VERY small recycling and trash can in the room. Trash filled up very quickly. I asked the front desk where I could dispose of it and they said put it in the hallway. I did but the next morning it was still there. It took 24 hours for it to be taken away. If you did wanted sheets changed or room cleaned you had to pay for it. Each room had two cups, two plates, two forks, two very shallow bowls. The dish towel provided smelled sour. There was a washing machine on premise but you had to download an app to use it and pay (per front desk) 5 pounds each use (that's 7 USD). Soap in room lasted one day then ran out as bottle was not full. This was considered part of housekeeping and was not refilled. For this reason I didn't love it- I didn't realize that it was "self service" at the cost of a proper hotel. That said the design was cute although it will soon need a refresh by whatever firm they used.

I had a lovely stay at the Ember Locke Kensington this summer! The hotel itself is beautiful, fantastic bar and restaurant down in the lobby area. The room was fantastic and all of the staff were very kind & helpful. There's great options for food and pubs in the area & it's easy to hop on the bus or the tube to get around the city. I'd certainly recommend staying here!
