I enjoyed my stay at Sonder. The area is really quiet and safe and super close to public transports and restaurants. The rooms are small but it’s enough for one person.

We had an excellent 2-night stay @ the Gilbert. Calm, wellblinded room, good bed. It is 5-7 min walk from Gloucester Rd station and shorter to supermarket and pubs/restaurants. Breakfast was sufficient with fresh bread and freshly squeezed oranges. We will definitely recommend.

I only stayed for two nights. Room size is small especially bathroom but the overall price is great for short stay. The staff was nice and helpful when I have reported that the radiator seemed not working in the room, they provided the probable heater, and offered a compensation of late checkout.

Weekend stay

I only stayed for two nights so I didn´t make use of the full range of service available. For such short stay it was perfect.Very nice clean bathroom with all products on the shelf and a great bed. I ask no more than that when I have a short stop over. Iron, safety box, and kettle for maiking tea too

4th time at Sonder and my last stay was disappointing. Hair in the bathroom, very small room vs my booking description so unfortunately won’t stay there again. Such a shame as my previous stay was ok for the price.

For me the location of the hotel was very good. It was easily accessible by public transportation. The hotel corridor and room was very hot and not air conditioned. But in the room by keeping the windows open it was okish. The rest was fine, friendly staff, good communication before check in and had easy check in check out process.
