Overall a nice stay and I’d consider staying here again in the future. Reasonable price, nice staff, clean, convenient.We chose this hotel as it was basically the only one in this area and we wanted to stay close to where our friend who we were visiting lives. Very convenient to the overground and many nice shops and restaurants.We didn’t need the “apartment” aspect and didn’t use our kitchen at all so that was kind of a waste of space. Ended up storing clothing on the kitchen counter as there was minimal storage. But if you are traveling more on a budget and don’t want to eat out, or doing a long term stay maybe you’d appreciate the kitchen more.That said, room was clean and surprisingly quiet / isolated from the noise of the street and we didn’t spend much time in it anyway so it was definitely more than sufficient for our purposes.Only gripes:- having to schedule ahead for the gym is a bit annoying, I’d prefer to just be able to go impromptu as time allows.- poorly designed shower. Couldn’t use at more than half the available water pressure or with the shower head angled, or it leaked out all over the bathroom floor. Water pools on shower floor and in the track the bathroom window slides in. Ended up having to have a dedicated towel for leaked water we tossed in the dryer between showers. Not a huge deal / my shower at home leaks some too like this so I’m used to it, but would be nice for them to improve this.

A surprisingly good hotel (far better than anticipated). We’re both in our 60’s and can be fairly fussy when it comes to hotel stays, so were very happy with the accommodation. …

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for our anniversary trip to London! It is so cute and homey! The soundproofing is incredible, as you don’t hear any noise from the street outside. The staff was friendly and helpful! Our first trip to London was incredible, and we are already looking forward to our next trip! We will definitely stay at this hotel again!

Couldn’t fault this place even if I really REALLY tried. Wonderful staff, very helpful. Comfortable beds and a great, stylish coffee bar on site for breakfast, which is also a micro brewery. Only had one of their beers (not for breakfast, obvs), they brew a very nice pale ale. 👌

Me and my Friends stopped here for I got soul event which was 7 minutes down the road It is a good location not far from the train station. When we arrived the reception area is very clean and staff are welcoming. We was on the fourth floor and I really like that. The access to the building has to be done via the key which means that you’re always in safe hands after certain hours you have to use the key to get an access into the building, me and my friend stop there because we had such a hangover. My friend sent a message asking if we can extend our stay for a small fee we extended stay for a few more hours. We didn’t have the breakfast but maybe next time I would recommend this hotel as it is Exactly what you need when stopping at hotel good friendly serviceI would, however, like to say a big thank you too Nadia and Selin 😃Who was wonderful in regards to some lost property they were very helpful. Answered my WhatsApp message when it came to lost property Very friendly and very generousThank you guys for making my stay spot onI don’t usually write reviews, but because of their great service had to give a shout out, thanks again guys

Super uplifting vibe and great, kind staff. I booked the City Studio and it was small but perfect for what I needed — being able to cook, do my laundry, and step out to explore for most of the day. Located near fabulous coffee shops and restaurants in Dalston. I was stunned at how quiet and peaceful the room was! Everything was super smooth from check-in to connecting to wifi. The lobby bar/brewery is a pleasant place to meet guests visiting you. Fabulous no-frills property I’d stay at again.

We booked this accommodation in order to attend a family wedding and it couldn't have been better. Room had everything a visitor could require and more. Staff were helpful, friendly and polite and the premises were very clean with lots of extra facilities which unfortunately we didn't have time to use.

The Check in was a bit turbulent, the location of the hotel is also a bit dangerous for women in the evening (which we found out before through research).The hotel has a nice style and you have a great view from the rooftop bar.Our room unfortunately had the window in front of a stone wall and we therefore had no view outside, and unfortunately you could not open the window.The bathroom is unfortunately a bit calcified (should be cleaned regularly with a black sink).However, the staff were very nice, when our flight was cancelled they helped us and tried everything to organise a room for us and the Soundproofing was also very good, and you heard nothing from the outside.The Locke is perfect for a longer stay and we would love to come back!
