We found this hotel by chance searching Expedia and stayed here based on location and reviews. So glad that we did. The hotel has a fantastic and vibrant lobby with a coffee bar, plenty of seating and an alcohol bar. It's always bustling with social activity which makes it a fun place to hang out. The rooms are very spacious with a lot of amenities (we had a fridge, microwave, stovetop, washing machine, tea/coffee maker etc). The staff are friendly and very helpful. The hotel is only a 6 minute walk to Earls Court tube which is on the District and Piccadilly lines. You can be standing outside Parliament within 20 minutes of walking out of the hotel door. Highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again when I'm next in London.

We enjoyed our stay, but the room is quite small! It’s perfectly enjoyable if you didn’t have the large suitcases that we had for our two week trip. Other than that, it was wonderful!

No hot water
Unfortunately we stayed for 2 nights and had no hot water for the entirety of the stay. I mean it was bitter cold and I actually cried when trying to shower to get clean it was so bad. I informed them the first morning but when we arrived back that night, it was still not sorted and when I tried to get further help from reception, there was actually only a security guard available and was unable to help. Whilst staff were friendly and nice, I feel this experience is totally unacceptable!

The staff at this location are the stars of the show. Also the night staff at Locke Broken Wharf especially the junior on night shift. Unfortunately for us there was a burst pipe half way through our stay (obviously things happen outside the hotels control) however the staff handled the situation exceptionally and we had no issues onwards to the Locke at Broken Wharf. We were a bit disappointed because it was a bit far from where we were however it is Xmas time and London is a busy city so it’s hard to find other accommodation. I wanted to write this review to thank the staff. They are a credit to Ember Locke (general hotel staff, bar staff, EVE Cafe staff etc) and Locke Broken Wharf. Bonuses for Xmas should be a must

Finally a hotel with character!
This hotel has all the charm that you wish every other hotel could have. The colours, the plants, the vibrant life that exists within the walls of this hotel - all of it helped to make our stay feel like home away from home. We loved the aesthetic of the whole hotel. Our suite was quite spacious, and we took advantage of all the various sitting nooks to eat, drink coffee, or read. My one complaint was that the hotel seemed quite understaffed - particularly in the dining room/breakfast bar. We had to wait 20 minutes for menus, 30 minutes for our coffees, and another 20 minutes for the bill. This happened both times we opted to stay for the meal. While everything else about this hotel is wonderful, I would say that the food experience is only sub-par. The pastries don't taste all that fresh, and the service for sit-in dining is painfully slow. That being said, every interaction that we had with hotel staff was friendly, helpful, and fun. I would book here again!
