Improve a few things, this would be a great place to saty
Pros:

We loved the location, the great staff, and the restaurant Merrow. Merrow deserves special mention. The hardware was good: it was spacious with good lighting and a good view of the bridge. Quality of food is very good and good value. The service was excellent. We had dinner there and were serviced by we think the manager. He was attentive and friendly. Overall a great little restaurant. Highly recommended.

Cons:

All Locke hotels share one major deficiency: poor indoor lighting. Not sure what the designer was trying to accomplish, but you cannot read a book in the room for sure. They like to use spot lights which leaves large area of the room dark.
The air in the corridor is stale, feels like it has not been ventilated in a long time.
No luggage racks in the room. Unfriendly to old people with knee problems as they have to squat to get stuff from the luggage.

OK for just clash in the night as room is small and not super functional. Location is great.
Pros:

Location was good being close to bus stops. Being on a foot of the Ha'penny Bridge was nice.
The common area is stylish and with a good vibe.

Cons:

The window in the room not opening, and covered with film, made me claustrophobic. Also we need to use key card to every enter points including elevator was annoying.

Amazing location!
Pros:

Phenomenal location and I loved having access to the gym onsite. Comfortable beds.

Cons:

Kinda weird that there were no electrical outlets in the bathroom. Definitely not a deal breaker on this hotel. Loved my stay.
