Beautiful Oasis in the middle of South Ken

Positive: The property is extremely well located. The hotel is also beautifully decorated with the most exceptional team of staff that were always available...

Hiya Robyn! Thank you so much for taking the time out to write us a review! Thank you for coming and enjoying the lovely space and making it your own. And it looks like you made great use of our lovely facilities to make you feel at home! So great to hear that you loved our decor and our "exceptional" staff (you said it best!). We really hope you visit again as a guest, but always feel free to swing by for a cheeky drink at the bar when you're in the area! Have a great week, and we hope to see you again. From your Ember Locke team, Priscilla

Hiya Kate! Thank you so much for taking the time out to write us a review! Thank you for coming and enjoying the lovely space and making it your own. And it looks like you made great use of our lovely facilities to make you feel at home! So great to hear that the wifi, staff and facilities were fantastic! And let's not forget the location! We do have music in our workspace, which most people seem to be ok with since we became TikTok famous (haha!). But please know that if you need to have a short important call, the courtyard is great the wifi is still strong, and it's generally quite quiet in the daytime :) We really hope you visit again as a guest, but always feel free to swing by for a cheeky drink at the bar when you're in the area! Have a great week, and we hope to see you again. From your Ember Locke team, Priscilla

Beautiful hotel, I can tell how much they put into the interior design but not very practical

Positive: We love the decoration, the artistic decoration of the Ember Locke Hotel. It was curated like an interior Musume with beautiful colors and...

Hiya Chuqing! Thank you so much for taking the time out to write us a review! Thank you for coming and enjoying the lovely space and making it your own. And I am very happy to hear that our staff made a great impression on yourself! I always love recommending the museums as a local myself, so I'm super glad to hear that you had a lovely time there. I regret that your sleep was not as comfortable for you as you, or we, would have liked. I will pass this feedback on to my managers and see what we can do in the future to find a balance between bed hardness and guests' preferences (I hear adding an extra mattress topper helps, which is an idea I will investigate further). We do offer extra trash bags, as we offer refreshes and extras of anything in the room. As we pride ourselves of putting your privacy as a priority, and as service apartments, we do not enter guest's rooms regularly. We just kindly ask guests to remove the trash bag and put it outside the door to be collected, but of course bags can be provided if you ask at the desk or through Whatsapp. We are experimenting with the 'hotel room' concept with the Locke Rooms, but I suggest having a look at our rooms with kitchenettes to have more space for your trash and a fridge-freezer, and of course a hob and grill/microwave/oven unit (and washer/dryer and dishwasher depending on the room type!). We really hope you visit again as a guest, but always feel free to swing by for a cheeky drink at the bar when you're in the area! Have a great week, and we hope to see you again. From your Ember Locke team, Priscilla

Generally really good, with the occasional rather odd thing.

Hiya Betty! Thank you so much for taking the time out to write us a review! Thank you for coming and enjoying the lovely space and making it your own. And it looks like you made great use of our lovely facilities to make you feel at home! So great to hear that the room was super quiet, and that our staff, location and beds really worked for you! I know that people have different ways of washing dishes: some prefer to keep the water inside or others prefer having the water drain. The sustainable approach is as you mentioned, and as we run towards our sustainability goals, I will make sure to feed this back to our maintenance team and check with them if we can have a stock of plugs to help reduce water waste. We do have some relatively high cupboards, and it's unfortunately not something that can change at this moment. I do believe that we have purchased stools for the family rooms, and so please let us know if this is something you'd be interested in in a future stay. Also, please know that the desk can always assist you with some of these aspects so things are much more convenient for you in the future. We really hope you visit again as a guest, but always feel free to swing by for a cheeky drink at the bar when you're in the area! Have a great week, and we hope to see you again. From your Ember Locke team, Priscilla

Suffice but could have been better

Negative: There were no slippers or commodities provide bu tur hotel and I was provided with an accessible bathroom even though I did not require it, which...
Response from Management
Hiya Irem! Thank you so much for taking the time out to write us a splendid review! Thank you for coming and enjoying the lovely space and making it your own. I am so sorry that you felt that some aspects did not leave you feeling as great as we always want our guests to leave feeling. I totally understand your point of view about slippers as I also like having slippers too, and I believe we refrain from it as it is not a environmentally sustainable feature, but I will pass this to our team to see if we can find a way to provide them in a sustainable way :) As you saw, we do have various commodities such as a welcome pack with teas, coffees, salt pepper, towels, shower and hand soaps, shampoo and conditioner etc., the option to have all items in the room refreshed. As an apart-hotel, our standard room types all have a fully fitted and stocked kitchenette except Locke Rooms, which is a chance for our brand to supply guests with an alternative standard hotel room-style model (no kitchen). From what I can see, you booked a 'Locke Room', which is a hotel-room model, and not a 'Locke Accessible' which is a specific room type with an accessible shower. Our Locke Rooms have a shower instead of a bath, whereas most of our rooms, about 85-90%, have a bath tub. If you're in the area again, please feel free to swing by and give you a private tour of some of our more popular room types that I think just might fit your style a bit more (City or Locke Studios). Have a great rest of your week! From your Ember Locke team, Priscilla
