The Ember Locke Kensington is chic with a laid-back vibe, and genuinely kind and friendly staff. The duplex room was unique, spacious, and well appointed—just the right amount of low-key luxury, and well worth the upgrade. We would stay there again without hesitation.

Upgrade to a duplex and enjoyed the extra space. So many highlights of London are walkable and the tube not far. Staff were very helpful. Coward in the bar and restaurant are on the younger side but so many amazing options close by.

The hotel was interesting with a huge restaurant on the lobby floor that we didn’t try until our last day and it was excellent. We found it odd that for a 1 week stay, we were told right off the bat that they would not be cleaning our room during our stay, but we could ask at the desk for anything we wanted. It worked fine - we ran out of toilet paper and asked at the desk and they sent it up. The breakfast bar seemed to be under staffed - we tried a couple of times to grab something on our way out, but we skipped it and went across the street. Overall, we had a nice quiet, rested time there.

Great location and nice style. Could be great with more attention to detail and some changes. There needs to be better airflow in rooms, and the lighting in rooms is so dim it is hard to see, never mind do work or read.

Only stayed one night, but location was great with access to a train station. Close to Hyde park if you wanted to walk. Room was spacious and really well decorated. Loved the addition of pots etc if we stayed longer and wanted to cook. Didn’t eat at the hotel but restaurant was vibrant
