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.

There is a girl who works at the cafe and breakfast who is not only totally incompetent. She was so disrespectful to me and my elderly companions. We were actually in shock because we have never experienced such poor service. Then the manger came out with another 2 men and started attacking us. Accusing us of being in the wrong. When this girl stuffed up constantly. She was nothing but RUDE and the way we were treated by her and the manager of the restaurant/cafe was wrong on so many levels. The shame is that the front desk staff were great. It was only this bad experience with this girl that ruined our stay and hence I won’t be back.
