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.

The Ember Locke Kensington offers several lounge areas to sit and read quietly or enjoy a drink. There is also a lovely and spacious garden area for guests’ enjoyment. Our room included a washer and dryer all-in-one unit which was handy. Laundry detergent is provided. There is also a small fridge, microwave, and induction cooktop. Bath soap and shampoo is provided, but not body lotion which would have bee appreciated. Our room was on two levels, with the kitchen, seating area, and shower on the lower floor, and the beds, dresser, and half-bath on the upper floor. Beds are large and comfortable. Our only complaint is that there is not adequate lighting. A bright light in the lower seating area is needed to be able to read comfortably once the sun goes down. A mirror in the half-bath would have been much appreciated.

Very cool vibe, friendly staff, welcoming to all ages. Convenient location: less than 10 minutes to groceries (fridge, stove, microwave in room), same distance to underground station, even less to bus stops (one right outside the door), lots of places to eat within walking distance (a pub, fast food, breakfast/lunch, ethnic cuisine). Laundry facilities a wonderful feature. Also a restaurant on the ground floor for breakfast as well as pizza, and a small cafe area in the lobby. Very close to Design Museum (10 minute walk), V&A and Hyde Park (both 2 stops on underground or short bus ride). Everything you might want to do is reachable.

Family holiday

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. All staff were friendly & helpful. The dining & lounge areas are very comfortable and they make you want to stay & enjoy them. The location of the hotel is just around the corner from underground stations and Kensington High St and many other attractions. Our hotel room had everything we needed for our stay. It was quiet and well appointed. Would definitely stay again and can recommend it

We had a wonderful stay in this quiet, safe part of Kensington—my favorite area in London. The location is excellent, with Bus 74 right outside and the Tube just a 5-minute walk away. Check-in was easy, and the staff were friendly and very accommodating. Our room was ideal for two—clean, well-sized, and well-equipped. Strong water pressure in the shower and smart use of storage like ample hooks made the space very functional. Decor throughout the hotel including our room was beautifully designed. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Pros: absolutely gorgeous public spaces and rooms, stylish boutique hotel feel and energy at a reasonable price, interesting trendy crowd. Cons: location felt just a tad remote.
