Not a huge fan

The rooms were great, but I hate the fact I had to create ana account to check in to the rooms. The water also had issues as it would not stay hot. There is also a charge to make up the room which I have never seen before?

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.

Housekeeping kötüydü. Koridorda temizlik personeli vardı be çöpler alınıyordu fakat oda temizliğiyle ilgilenen olmadı 7 gün boyunca. 6. Günün sabahı kendim rica ettim ama döndüğümde banyo lavabosu aynıydı. Tuvalet kağıdı ve çay-kahve-su gibi ihtiyaçları girişteKi dolaptan kendiniz alıyorsunuz. Oda çok çok çok küçük, standart tek kişilik oda standardından çok uzak. Yemek masası yok, kahve sehpasını bile kullanamadım kahve makinesi ve kettle yüzünden. Buzdolabı yok. Klima yok. (yaz aylarında gelecekseniz) Isıtma çok iyi. Personel sıcakkanlı ve yardımsever. Metroya 4 dk yürüyüş.

Very clean but this time the room was impractical

I’ve stayed at the Sonder Kensington many times, so I know that Sonder rooms and compact, but the room we stayed in at the Gilbert was laughable. We were staying for 12 nights. Asked to change and they tried to accomodate but couldn’t. I said we’d even upgrade if it meant we get a proper room, but because the booking was not with them directly they couldn’t even do that. So we spent 12days in a claustrophobic room. It was on the ground floor, it was the room with an accessible bathroom (we didn’t request this) so the bathroom was big, but the window looked out to the back alley with the aircon units and the alley was so dirty we didn’t want to open the windows. Please Sonder, take note of the following: No hooks to hang anything up - like a hook in the bathroom to hang wet towels, or in the room to hang your coat. The room is so small that you can’t actually fit a chair in it, so we ended up propping the ironing board against the window and draping our winter coats over that. No plug sockets. The only place I could plug the hairdryer in and use a mirror at the same time was by the front door, and even then the hairdryer didn’t reach my head. Why not put a mirror above the desk on that big empty wall? Absolutely no counter space in the bathroom, not even for your toothpaste. Ended up carrying everything back & forth from the room every time. Tiny sink, water everywhere. The room was spotless as always.But please make some changes to the functionality of the tiny rooms Sonder

Had a nice stay at the Sonder for a weekend away. Short walk from Gloucester Road tube station which was easy to get into central London for the day. Easy check in on the app meaning no interaction with staff, entrance to the building and hotel room using a room key from my iPhone. Great feature. Beds were two singles put together with king bedding on and I felt like I was falling through the gap occasionally during the night. Shower tray was damaged with scuffs - originally thought it was hairs from a previous guest but on further inspection it was severely damaged by something sharp. Caused no issue to use the shower though. Small amount of tea and coffee in the room, however you could go to the lounge by the entrance and pick up more bits and bobs for your use. Take-away cups also available to make a drink to takeaway with you. Room was clean and no issues to report.

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.
