The Ember Locke in London is beautifully designed and super stylish, but the service was incredibly disappointing. When we arrived at 10:00 am after an overseas overnight flight, we asked for an early check-in to rest before a gala we were attending at 6:00 pm. The staff assured us they would prioritize cleaning our room and made it seem like they would take care of us. However, after waiting in the lobby for hours, we didn’t receive our keys until 3:55 pm—just five minutes before standard check-in time. It was clear no real effort was made to accommodate us. Additionally, the breakfast experience was equally frustrating. The restaurant often had no staff present, leaving us waiting over 20 minutes on several occasions. One morning, despite arriving at 10:45 am, we were told we missed breakfast service, which ended at 11:00 am, due to the delay in being attended to. We noticed other guests experiencing similar frustrations, making it clear these issues are systemic. While the design is stunning, the lack of service made for an extremely disappointing stay.

LOVED this hotel/ property. Will definitely be returning for my next trip to London. It was a fantastic location with a great co working space, decorated beautifully. It felt more like a social club than a hotel. I would definitely come back for a longer stay. My ONLY issue was the lack of lighting in the room. Made it very hard to get ready and just function in general, the room was very dark

Arriving at Amber Locke we met John at the Front Desk who was extremely caring, friendly and helpful. He stayed kind through the entire stay. I am sorry we didn't see him to say goodbye, but we would definitely return to Amber to say hello once again. Thank you!!

Unique hotel. Very quiet. Nice staff.Stayed in a medium studio which could have used more lighting. Hallways very hot, so never had to turn on room heater. Only issue was it took a long time to get hot water in the bathroom. Not sure if this was because it utilized hot water on demand or because we were on the 6th floor and the boiler was far far away. Would recommend and stay there again

Got an early paid check in with Precious. Staff over our week were responsive in person and on Whatsapp. Our upstairs was hot (up to 26) so we had to keep the living area downstairs cool(19) to compensate. The fan provided helped move the air around. Love the atmosphere, services and location.

Great stay, comfortable and well designed room. Warm friendly welcome. The ac didn’t work but it was very cold outside so we opened the window. Ambient temperature in the room was too warm for sleeping otherwise. Apart from this perfect stay, clean well appointed room and super quiet. Gym is a bit sparse so wouldn’t bother with this.
