Wonderful

We found this hotel by chance searching Expedia and stayed here based on location and reviews. So glad that we did. The hotel has a fantastic and vibrant lobby with a coffee bar, plenty of seating and an alcohol bar. It's always bustling with social activity which makes it a fun place to hang out. The rooms are very spacious with a lot of amenities (we had a fridge, microwave, stovetop, washing machine, tea/coffee maker etc). The staff are friendly and very helpful. The hotel is only a 6 minute walk to Earls Court tube which is on the District and Piccadilly lines. You can be standing outside Parliament within 20 minutes of walking out of the hotel door. Highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again when I'm next in London.
The Ember Locke Kensington has excellent public spaces and dining and cafe spaces. Great pizza and snacks all in a comfortable relaxing environment. The rooms are very spacious and well appointed with modern & retro styling. Very relaxing & enjoyable!
We enjoyed our stay, but the room is quite small! It’s perfectly enjoyable if you didn’t have the large suitcases that we had for our two week trip. Other than that, it was wonderful!
Unfortunately we stayed for 2 nights and had no hot water for the entirety of the stay. I mean it was bitter cold and I actually cried when trying to shower to get clean it was so bad. I informed them the first morning but when we arrived back that night, it was still not sorted and when I tried to get further help from reception, there was actually only a security guard available and was unable to help. Whilst staff were friendly and nice, I feel this experience is totally unacceptable!
The staff at this location are the stars of the show. Also the night staff at Locke Broken Wharf especially the junior on night shift.
Unfortunately for us there was a burst pipe half way through our stay (obviously things happen outside the hotels control) however the staff handled the situation exceptionally and we had no issues onwards to the Locke at Broken Wharf.
We were a bit disappointed because it was a bit far from where we were however it is Xmas time and London is a busy city so it’s hard to find other accommodation.
I wanted to write this review to thank the staff. They are a credit to Ember Locke (general hotel staff, bar staff, EVE Cafe staff etc) and Locke Broken Wharf.
Bonuses for Xmas should be a must
