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!

Location is very convenient and close to shops, restaurants, and public transportation. The room was on the small side and the shower only had a partial glass partition so water would spill onto the bathroom floor.

My husband and I loved our 5 night stay! The area was convenient to anywhere in London and the room was the perfect size for us both. My only complaint is the bathroom - the toilet flush needed 3-4x to get anything down, the sink and bathroom didn’t drain and water from the shower went everywhere! This didn’t affect our trip at al, just something for the property to look into. We will stay here again our next trip to London!

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.

The Ember Locke is very close to the Earl's Court tube stop, making getting around quite simple. The kitchen in our room was exceptionally well-equipped, and perfect for our small family. The staff were unfailingly courteous. The hotel is quiet and well-maintained. Be aware that the google map walking instructions from Earl's Court underground show an impossible road crossing, but you can visually spot that and correct.
