My husband and I stayed at Leman Locke Aldgate for one week this past October. The hotel is in great location near the tube station, close to a grocery store, and popular places to eat. The staff members were kind and very helpful with random questions we had since this was our first visit to the UK. We arrived early on a Sunday (like 9am), and we were able to leave our bags at the hotel prior to check-in. There are two ways (that we used anyway) to enter the hotel, through the coffe shop in the front of the building facing the street or toward the back of building (we primarily used this entrance since it was closest to the front desk). When we walked in the hotel, it smelled absolutely amazing, like vanilla and cinnamon, and I don't even like vanilla like that. Our room was on a higher floor, so I was nervous about having to wait for the elevator. To my surprise, we never had any issues or long wait times getting on to the elevator. The elevator had great lighting, and we took a picture every morning to set the mood for our daily adventures. Our room was interesting. I admit I did not like the room at all the first two nights (only due to personal preferences). First thing, we could not figure out why the electricity did not work. After calling the front desk for help and having the guy at front desk come look at the lights, the fuse box, he realized we did not put the 2nd key card in the card holder thing (I'm sure it has an actual name) that activates the electricity. No one explained this process to us at check-in. That was very frustrating since we traveled all night and then walked around London for about 6-7 hours, we were tired. Second, thing I did not like how the TV was not in the best view from the bed. I did love that the room had a kitchenette with a dining table and also a washer/dryer combo. I really liked the bathroom (the lighting was weird and no face towels but whatever). The shower was spacious, with good water pressure and ample hot water. The bathroom also had towel racks that doubled as towel warmers! The couch was so cute and cozy, I love that it was pink. Overall, we would stay at Leman Locke again and recommend this hotel to friends.

Well-equipped room esp convenient for longer stay. (Washing machine, microwave, oven, full set of kitchenware in room) Staffs are super responsive and helpful (thank you Rass & Riley for your kind help!) Location wise is also nice, the hotel is located in a quiet but convenient neighbourhood. You can easily access to several tube stations nearby.

We had a fantastic October stay at Leman Locke! Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by a friendly and helpful receptionist, setting a great tone for our visit. Our one-bedroom studio was spotless and perfectly comfortable for two, with everything we needed. The location is ideal—just a 7-minute walk to Aldgate East Tube, making it easy to get around, and with a Sainsbury’s only 5 minutes away for any essentials. The café downstairs also serves superb food, adding to the convenience and overall experience. Highly recommend Leman Locke for anyone visiting London!

My experience at this hotel was exceptional. The customer service is truly unmatched. The amenities, including a laundry machine, dishwasher, stove, and full kitchen utensils, made my stay incredibly convenient. The facilities were impeccably clean, and the gym is the best I’ve ever seen in a hotel. The location is also ideal—just a block from the tube station, with restaurants and pubs nearby. I’ll definitely be staying here again. Anika and her team run a fantastic hotel!

Very Basic accommodation. Not worth the price. Staff at re reception totally unresponsive and not willing to help. During 3 days stay the property was not able to arrange fresh towels even once as towels were not available. So weird. In kitchen no Paper Towels being provided. Rooms are not very well lit, so difficult to get ready. No way going to stay again or even recommend it. Bit difficult to find the entrance as it’s from back side( no signage to help) Front side door is accessbalw for couple of hours in the morning.

Locke work to a great formula for their hotel rooms and apartments, and in London they are small, efficient and highly functional. I can't believe what they fit in there. Always comfortable, well-appointed and clean. This one in Aldgate is pretty close to things and has lots of eating options nearby. Would happily stay there again. Only sour facet was I asked for a cab to St Pancras at 430am. They booked a fixed price hire car for £33 - mate, I asked for a cab, not a ripoff!

I selected this hotel for our stay in London since it was near the Towers of London as well as average priced. This hotel is located in Aldgate within steps from the Aldgate East tube. Even the White Chapel station and Aldgate station are within walking distance... we discovered the tube transportation on our 2nd day in London. Aldgate is a more affordable neighborhood compared to some of the other areas in London. Leman Locke is within a couple blocks of Bricklane - MANY restaurants. Leman Locke offers activities Wed thru Sun... Sadly, the bar was not open during our Sun - Tues stay. Our room looked like a mini apartment with an overview of a local playground. It had a mini kitchen; the hotel provided a couple of coffees, teas, and cleaning supplies for dishes. It also had a microwave and mini fridge. You can secure your passport, etc, in the safe. The bathroom was small but sufficient. It held a regular size shower with a pedestal sink and toilet. The hotel provides you with hair shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, as well as hand soap. Our room held a full-size bed. I, myself, prefer a bit softer mattress....i had a hard time sleeping, which could've been contributed by my achy muscles from the many miles we walked on our adventures. The pillows were sufficient. The room also held a small round table with two chairs we never utilized. Our check-in was very fast, and their staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had some issues with the Wi-Fi connection, which was resolved while we were on our excursion. There is a small gym in the basement. Leman Locke has a small coffee shop near the reception area. You can purchase coffee, teas, quick breakfast, sandwiches, and snacks at a fair price. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel due to its location; near Tower of London & other attractions, and several train stations.

Location is good, right next to Brick lane, a tube station, lots of restaurants and bars around. The overall interior design was nice, a bit lack luster compared to other Locke hotels I’ve stayed in. Aspects of the room were a bit tired and unkept - the bath needed resealing and the couch was a little stained. The air conditioning control ran out of battery, the room was stuck at 24 degrees.. which was pretty uncomfortable. Reception staff tired to help and were very apologetic but said it couldn’t be fixed that night. I was compensated with a free coffee but I guess there wasn’t a lot else to offer. I wouldn’t stay here again
