The staff was very friendly and helpful and the location was close to the metro. The hotel was decorated so cute. Just a few things needed a little updating but all in all it was a great hotel for the money. Would definitely stay here again. Also try the Turkish restaurant the staff recommends. It was amazing ❤️ I think it’s was called Meagan’s

Great location 5 min walk from the underground and it’s on a major stop. Not far from Heathrow. Small kitchen with things you don’t think you will ever use and the staff is very friendly. Waffles are very good for breakfast.

We had a fabulous time staying at Ember Locke. the staff was extraordinary, especially John whi greeted us at the front desk upon out arrival and Umesh who led the restaurant/ lounge staff. The rooms were clean and well appointed and we loved the overall environment/ vibe of the hotel. Wonder location, wirh easy walking or tube access to everything. And some great local pubs to visit. We will definitely be back!
