I’ve stayed at Leman Locke intermittently since last year, for a combined total of nearly six months. My most recent stay was two months long, and unfortunately it confirmed everything that’s wrong with the way this hotel is managed. It started with a serious breach of safety—my room key was mistakenly given to a stranger, who attempted to enter while I was showering. Despite the severity of this, the management barely responded. Out of concern for my safety, I installed a small indoor camera, which caused no issue for months. But the moment I submitted a complaint about housekeeping staff stepping on my duvet with shoes, the hotel suddenly started citing legal concerns about the camera. The timing says everything. It felt like a clear case of deflection and retaliation. Housekeeping only occurs once a week, and even then it’s unreliable. Cleanliness is inconsistent, basic supplies are regularly missed, and I had to follow up multiple times just to receive things like bin liners or bathrobes. Staff were visibly cold and unfriendly even when my husband briefly returned to the room to drop something off. And on top of that, if you happen to be in your room on cleaning day, housekeeping will ask you to leave. No specific time is ever provided—just a vague 9am–5pm window. That means unless you’re willing to wait around all day and leave the room at a moment’s notice, you essentially have to give up the service you paid for, or abandon your space entirely for the day. For long-term paying guests, this is unacceptable. And perhaps the most absurd part: when I checked in for my final two-month stay, the room had only one pair of slippers. I asked for more, was told they were “out of stock,” and never received any—not once in two entire months. For a hotel in central London charging £200 a night, it is unacceptable that a long-term guest can’t even get a basic amenity like disposable slippers. Eventually, I chose to stop using their services—not because I didn’t need them, but because I completely lost trust in how they were handled. After I reported a hygiene issue with a staff member, the hotel responded not with an apology, but with pressure: they demanded I remove my safety camera, and escalated it by referencing harassment and sexual offence laws—threatening to withhold cleaning if I didn’t comply. That was the point where I decided: no more. I denied them further entry into my room and handled everything myself until the day I checked out. No accountability. No sincerity. No basic respect. Leman Locke looks good in pictures, but underneath the aesthetic is a service culture that is careless, defensive, and incapable of handling criticism. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone seeking consistency, professionalism, or peace of mind.

Upon arrival the power in my room did not work. Was moved to another room which did not have towels or wash cloths. Attempted to notify hotel staff but there was no phone to reach the front desk contrary to an amenity listed on the hotel's site. After going downstairs to notify the desk, I was given the key to my previous room and told to retrieve a towel from there myself. Others in our large group attempted to get an additional towel as their rooms only provided one towel which did not accommodate multiple people in their room, to which hotel staff advised they were out of towels. Unable to get hotel water in my shower due to work being done by an engineer at 8 A.M. The most concerning part of my stay was when an unknown male entered my hotel room unannounced. Attempted to exit my room to figure out who the person was but was unable to locate them. I notified hotel staff shortly after who confirmed it was not hotel staff who entered my room and advised they would notify a manager and would reach back out to me. I later received an email from the front desk saying they did some work with the keys to avoid the issue again but that they were unaware how it happened. It was not until the last night of my stay that I discovered the hotel's phone operates from "Whatsapp" and not a physical phone. I wish the hotel would have informed me of this at the beginning of my stay so I could better contact them instead of traveling to the lobby with issues.

Leman Locke says that their rooms are soundproof and this is simply not true (which is fine but do not advertise it as such). I was awoken about three times throughout due to noise, and I was told it was most likely due to the pipes. The toilet when you flush keeps running for ages and the bed and sofa are really hard, neither of which helped my sleep. Leman Locke offered a 10% discount on my next stay which is not really acceptable. Why would I stay somewhere again where I hardly slept?

Overall it is clean and nice location to visit most of spots in London. Great to have all appliances to laundry and cook. Cafe next to reception was pretty good option. BUT the shower room's drainage was poor. The water didn't drain and just pooled, so every time I showered, I was in a sea of ​​water.

I stayed at Leman Locke for seven days and had a wonderful experience. The place was clean, modern, and well-maintained, with a spacious room that included its own kitchen. Perfect for longer stays. The location is ideal: close to the Tube for easy access around London, with plenty of grocery stores nearby if you prefer cooking. If you’d rather eat out, there are endless dining options in the area as well. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding to the positive experience. For the price, it’s an excellent choice, offering great value without compromising on comfort or convenience. I highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Great first time at Leman Locke and I’ll definitely be back. The 30m studio was exactly as described and very comfortable. Great sound insulation so no noise problems other than inconsiderate guests talking loudly on the corridor at 11.30! Bed was comfy although the option for firmer pillows would be good. Shower was piping hot and powerful. Great to have chrome cast on the TV and the WiFi was pretty quick The only problem I had was the fuse blew on the oven when I tried to use it. Was easy contacting the team and they were very responsive. When they couldn’t fix it they found a good work-around, and did it with a smile. I’d happily stay there longer for a bigger trip, felt a shame to Only be there for one night!

Leman Locke is a great hotel with a lot of nice amenities for stays a week or longer. It was great having a fridge, laundry, and clothes washer/dryer. It allowed us to pack less. Staff was great and friendly. My only issues were the pipes would make a loud screeching noise when running hot water and the beds were not very comfortable. I would still recommend staying here if you want to spend time in London. Location is great for restaurants, stores and access to the tube.

My partner and I stayed at the Leman Locke for 12 days in April 2025. They kindly upgraded our room to a Sky Suite, which we were thrilled about because we originally had just the studio booked. The room and view from our room was amazing and really added to the experience. The room could’ve been a little cleaner, and the hallway had a weird smell… but considering how well everything else went, it didn’t bother us too much! We had minimal interaction with staff, but when we did they were great. The coffee shop downstairs was good as well. Will definitely be staying at a Locke hotel again. We’re hoping to try Ember Locke in Kensington next time. ❤️
