A very conveniently located property. Excellent response time from staff to assistance. But the music in common area is too loud…perhaps that could be a quieter space for reading or working for guests?

This is an excellent location if you're looking for a quiet neighborhood while still being close to all that London has to offer. The kitchenette was handy for small meals, and there are loads of shops and restaurants nearby. Not your typical hotel but definitely a great place at a great price in a great location.

I enjoyed my stay at the property, however a notable con was that there is no daily cleaning and they do not offer body lotion.

Very convenient location - close two tube stations and easy walk to high street Kensington. Room had everything you need and lobby and breakfast spaces very cute and comfy. Staff all very helpful and available at desk at all hours. Site said linens provided weekly but we were offered new towels on our fourth day which was great. Would definitely stay at again.

It’s a hidden gem! Nice place to stay with warm reception. Front desk John and his colleagues are such nice people, especially John, he can remember our names and say hello to us every time we met each other… on the day check out, he even walked out with us with farewell greetings! Book this Locke and you will feel like home. Thanks!

The room room packed a lot of facilities into its compact size but felt quite cluttered as a result. A few of the facilities needed a touch up.

A great place to stay in South Kensington with friendly and helpful staff and convenient dining options, though the kitchenettes allow for some economy by making some of your own meals. The decor was very warm and comfortable and the rooms felt spacious for London. Very close to Earl's Court tube station and the bus lines. Would definitely stay there again and would recommend.
