Only a one night stay. The staff was absolutely wonderful, phenomenal customer service, and very welcoming. I would love to go back and spend a few nights to experience of the activities/evens that they host. The room and bathroom were both very spacious.

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff. The bed was comfortable, and the location was excellent. The bathrooms could be a little nicer- I had some drainage issues with the shower and a few bugs. But they did upgrade my room free of charge, and in general, the room was very clean and comfortable. I would stay again.

The property was absolutely breathtaking. We loved the aesthetic, the hospitality, and the convenience of this location. It was difficult to control the heat in our room (we were there in early spring, and it was quite warm in the room), but we opened windows to accommodate this.

Ember Locke Kensington was the perfect location for our family spring break. Quieter neighborhood to get good rest, close to Earl’s Court tube with three lines for quick connections through the city, a bus stop right in front of the hotel that’ll take you to the museums, and a Sainsbury’s around the corner to load up on groceries/snacks. Would definitely stay again!

Jess and John were kind, patient and helpful. They are the front desk staff. On site laundry was great! The best part was that they held my luggage for me when I travelled to Paris for few days! The room was clean and the windows can be opened for those who might be claustrophobic! Walking distance to Earl’s court station and many restaurants and shops around. Thank you Jess and John! I will recommend all my friends to stay at Ember Locke especially because of you guys!
