The bed was sunken in and hurt our backs. Also the room was facing a very busy street and was so loud even with the windows closed.

We really enjoyed our stay at the apartments. Beatrice and George in particular made sure we felt at home and comfortable upon arrival. The rooms are lovely and couldn’t ask for much more. Location was perfect with ease of access to the rest of the city! Would definitely stay again

Stayed here for a week when I went to London. Absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. Staff were absolutely fantastic and super sweet. Everything was within walking distance, the Earls Court Station was a 5 minute walk from the hotel. They upgraded my room which I was so thankful for! The restaurant downstairs had a pretty decent selection of food and Tony, one of the managers at the bar was such a character; enjoyed talking to him when I was there. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. They’re definitely going to be seeing me back here again!

This was my second time staying at Ember Locke. I had an excellent first visit, so I was looking forward to staying again. I booked a City Studio. When I arrived for check-in, I was informed I was going to receive an "upgrade." However, that was not true. I was given a bigger studio on the main floor, but it was freezing, dingy, and smelly. I immediately went to the front desk to ask for the room type I had booked... Apparently, they had overbooked the City Studio. While the front desk staff changed my room the next day and provided a free breakfast, I felt I had lost a proper night's stay.

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.

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!
