Very nice relatively new hotel. Internal decoration and furniture is impressive. Staff at both reception and at the bar were fabulous. Didn't eat but breakfast facility looked very good as I was leaving! Will definitely use again.

Thumbs up for Ember Locke Kensington.
First off, the picture on your website looked NOTHING like the actual building, which led to some confusion. The front desk staff was amazing, helpful and intuitive. Breakfast was really good and fresh. We actually started buying a little roll at the nearby Sainsbury's because the breakfast was too large. Convenient to everything. Loved the washer/dryer in the room. It was very hot during our stay and we ended up having a LOT of laundry!

Great location, nice rooms and excellent settings. The facilities at the hotel such as air conditioning and toilet flushing leave a lot to be desired. What promised to be a superb experience fell short due to maintenance issues. Debatable if we will return.

Amazing location, room for improvement
Great location, fun vibe in the lobby with cafe, working spaces, and a great pizza pop up while I was there. Handy for longer stays with Miele professional grade washers and dryers in the basement along with detergent pods. 1 of 2 lifts was broken the whole week I was there which could be pretty annoying. Bed was pretty lumpy and not comfortable, toilet flush didn't work quite right, and the shower head could only be set at certain angles which were either too vertical or too horizontal for me. Shower also wouldn't drain quick enough so after a 5min shower you were standing in ankle deep water. I did raise this but didn't see improvement. Kitchenette was great for cooking small meals for 1 or 2. Definitely would stay again but there is room for improvement.

Love the elegant, retro vibe. The rooms are more like studios, spacious and great for a long term stay. The location can't be beat, really convenient to the District Line, tons of bus lines and Kensington High Street for great shopping and dining. I had an issue with air conditioning for a couple of days and it took some back and forth to get it resolved, which wasn't great. The staff were kind though.

The property was lovely and the amenities were great! The room was the perfect size for two people staying a week. Having the kitchen was wonderful to have for easy breakfasts or quick coffees before heading out! The street was quiet with very little noise from traffic. Walking to the tube stop was a couple minutes and there were tons of food options and shopping just up the road! Highly recommend and will absolutely stay again
