Leman Locke, Aldgate

"The interior was modern, contemporary and comfortable. We stayed for one night so didn’t get chance to use the kitchen but it seemed fairly well equipped. The staff were friendly and didn’t charge extra for early check in and late checkout. The location meant there were some spectacular views of London from our room"

"I stayed for a week at Leman Locke in a studio apartment. Overall it was great. The apartment was nicely decorated, and felt cost and comfortable. The air conditioning was annoyingly noisy and never seemed to manage to keep the room at a consistent temperature, and ideally I'd have liked the room to be serviced at least once in a week-long stay, but those are minor gripes."

"Excellent apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Staff are extremely friendly, very courteous and welcoming, always happy to help. Lovely people all round. Josh, Jade, Server, Enikan, Carnwell, Nadia, all of them. In fact, we extended our stay twice. You should definitely spend a couple of nights at Leman Locke. Thank me later."

"I booked this hotel after staying in the nearby Bermonds Locke on my previous visit to London. The main things I liked was the location and surroundings. The tube is easy to access and there's plenty of restaurants nearby. I was expecting slightly more from the rooms. After my stays at other Locke facilities the room felt a bit tired. The room lacked a dishwasher and washing machine and the bed was very creaky to the point where it would wake me up when I slept. I will say that it was clean but perhaps could do with a bit of a refresh especially given that it isn't a cheap hotel"

"We came here after looking at the pictures and reviews and we were super disappointed. There's no car park near by and the car park recommended by the hotel costs a fortune. The USB plug next to the bed didn't work, I found that out in the morning when my alarm didn't go off as my phone had died. I had a shower, which was nice, but had put my clothes on the floor on the other side of the bathroom, and the shower leaked across the floor getting all my stuff wet. There is no mirror in the bedroom to get ready in the morning, there was one by the door but the lighting was awful. If you turned the heating on or AC then it made a loud whirring noise which was too loud to be able to sleep. The duvet was very thick and the pillows were massive so I was super hot all night and didn't sleep well at all. Spent 5 minutes in the lift trying to get it to work, turns out you have to use your room key card for it but this wasn't explained to us at all. The whole place looked as if it was under construction but that was never told to us before and should be reflected in the price of the room. Very expensive for what it is. I would recommend staying at a premier Inn instead, at least you know you'll have a decent night's sleep. I was very excited about the stay but was very disappointed."
