Room was big and clean and comfy. A little "bare bones" in terms of amenities and the area is very noisy. But that was all to be expected!

It was right in the heart of center city...close to everything you needed and wanted to see. Room was clean. The only problem i had was the elevator broke one evening. The sonder chat person could not tell me where there was another way up to my room. Eventually another guest who couldn't get to their room found the emergency exit door but our codes wouldn't work. Finally with help from some random passerby we got the door open!! The elevator was working in the morning. Other than that it was a great stay...id still give it a 4.9 outta 5

This is my second stay and overall it is nice, but I saw an earwig plus I woke up with some big bites so it seems like there may be some type of bug in the room.

8/10 Very good

the contemporary layout and design of this space was so beautiful and put us in an entirely different environment. its true about the noise from the busy streets and late nights, but that's to be expected in the lively vicinity that Arco by Sonders lies. the surrounding shops, bars, and restaurants allow traveling folks a downtown Philadelphia experience. The bus lines and subways allow simple travel to basically get anywhere you need or want to go throughout the city. although they claim to have storage lockers available, they are super limited and get occupied early in the morning.
