We stayed at the Sonder for 5 days and it was a very nice stay. I thought it very good value.
The positives:
- easy walk to transportation. ~10 minutes from Paddington, Bayswater, and Lancaster Gate.
- 5 minute walk to Hyde Park and 10 minutes to Italian Garden and Kensington Palace.
- Very friendly and helpful staff
- Good WiFi and nice lobby area
The downsides
- there was train right outside our window. It didn’t bother us too much
- there is an extra small charge for basic room maintenance.
- they offer early check in for a fair fee, but the earliest is 1:00 pm. If they could offer 2 hours earlier that would be much more helpful since many US flights arrive before 9:00 am
- the area is nice and safe but not too many dining options in immediate area (though there is an excellent Greek family-owned restaurant right down the street).
I would definitely stay there again, and because of my stay there I will look into other Sonder properties.
