Will not be coming back

This is the second time I’ve stayed at this location and won’t be coming back - the staff are unprofessional, snooty and just lack any level of understanding that they are in the service business. The rooms are extremely dark, I guess it’s not cool to have a well lit room so you can apply makeup comfortably.

I’ve previously stayed at Locke hotels in London and Manchester, so I knew that I’d have a great stay. I was somewhat surprised at the reviews though after booking, as there’s a big disparity between the reviews here and at their other properties. To comment on some of these: 1. Space: I was travelling solo, but this would have been ample for my husband and I for a couple of nights. There is hanging space, ‘worktop’ space to put things on, and the bathroom is a really good size. 2. It is very dark in the rooms! This was only an issue for putting on make up. There are no bright lights which can be aimed at any mirror, and there’s a film over the windows for added privacy which affects the light. Again, only an issue for make up. 3. A few reviews said that the apartments are not well maintained, but I found it to be extremely clean and no scuffs etc. 4. The bed is so comfortable and there is no noise! I slept so well, and this is very rare for me. It’s also completely dark in the room due to blackout curtains which was great. 5. The location is fantastic. You’re just a couple of minutes’ walk from Aldgate, and can walk to Spitalfields/Brick Lane in 15-20 minutes. Liverpool Street is around 15mins walk away, and well connected. Especially good if you are looking for an accessible station with the Elizabeth Line. Overall, the reviews made it sound somewhat unappealing(!) but this certainly wasn’t my experience. Great location for a solo traveller too.

The room was very tastefully decorated, and it had a fully functioning kitchen. My only complaint was that you could hear people, as well as the elevators. Also there was a green light on the roof that couldn't be turned off—it was annoying to sleep with.

The rooms ARE small, but they are comfy, VERY well equipped, clean, and the location can't be beat! The bed is especially comfortable and the shower is amazing. We do wish we were able to adjust the air con on our own, but we were there during a heat wave. We would definitely stay there again.

Room was definitely not what we paid for at all, they advertise a living room and dining area in the “cozy studio” room type and it says absolutely nothing that the living room and dining room is only included in a few of their studios. So you pay full price for these facilities and might not get them. In my case I was put in an extremely small room that really only consisted of a bed, small kitchenette, and a bathroom. They were not able to move me to the room I paid for nor did they seem that they cared that they are falsely advertising their rooms.

Unfortunately this Locke location is feeling a bit worse for the wear despite being new and having modern design. There were dents and scuffs all over the walls, the curtains were dirty, and there were stains on the couch. I also found the staff to be a little unfriendly. It’s really a shame because the property has such a cool design aesthetic and it’s in a very good location. I hope they can turn it around!

I loved Buckle! They happily received and held a parcel for me that was accidentally deliver days before my arrival. The communication before my arrival was fast. The staff and property was wonderful. I do wish they had loaner umbrellas, but that would be my only critique.
