London stay
Check in was easy and welcoming. A lovely quirky hotel where we felt relaxed and comfortable. The bedroom was fine and comfy
The only thing I would change is to move the bed away from the wall as it was difficult to access down one side

Wonderful week long stay
Had a wonderful week long stay at Ember Locke. Our first few days were a little warm as they still had central heat on even though it was mild outside, but after about 2 days they turned that off and we were able to be more comfortable in the room. The front desk was always there to answer questions for us. Really recommend

Loved it!
Lovely eclectic extended stay hotel. Front desk staff all very friendly and helpful. Room was small, but worked well for my needs. There are a few areas of the hotel that could do with some updating (tile in entry, upholstery in my room, etc.) but overall it’s really lovely. The attached restaurant was very good also!

Beautiful hotel
It was a beautiful hotel, very trendy and tastefully decorated. The room was clean and comfy and the staff were all friendly and helpful. My only comment would be that it takes a long time for breakfast - I had to wait 20 mins and ask twice for my daughter's croissant and it wasn't that busy. The previous day was a bit slow too. Maybe a buffet style would be better.

We loved it here! The room aesthetic made it so comfortable and welcoming to come back to after each day. It is also located in a great area but far enough away from the busy city. Will definitely stay here again.

Perfect for flexibility
Very friendly, helpful staff and the duplex had everything you needed, with little extras like books and a hairdryer - there was even a yoga/exercise mat. Would definitely recommend for a stay in London if you wanted to have the freedom and flexibility to not have to eat out all the time.
