A gem
Fantastic location, spacious and very comfortable and convenient!
On the downside, it was not indicated when booking that the flat was located on the lower ground floor; it was a bit cold in the flat and we had some issues with the access codes

We loved our stay at the Sonder and will definitely be staying at other Sonder properties in the future. It was easy to get in touch with the concierge and they replied promptly. Loved the area as well.

Overall, great property in fantastic location.
We walked everywhere. Centraly located.
Spacious with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as an extra water closet. Staff super helpful.
Beds and a true double (so small by US standards), but comfortable.

It was a clean and spacious apartment and can walk to local sites in the area. There are no grocery stores nearby and no view since it was a ground floor. Some of the other units displayed views and so somewhat misleading. The double doors in living room was not able to close correctly and posed a safety concern.

We could not have been happier with our stay. The location was excellent and the flat was perfect. Everything was very comfortable, clean, and updated. We had everything we needed and much more. I can't recommend this place more highly. We loved it.

It’s nice flat with good condition. Good for a week stay. The only insufficient is not enough furniture such as a dresser and one or two more chairs.

22 January 2020
We were booked into this property and were advised 30 minutes prior to checking out of our previous accommodation, that this was no longer available due to a plumbing issue. The lack of empathy and customer service from the Sonder customer service team was stressful and frustrating, as we were left to sort out our accommodation needs. I found that there was still an apartment available in that building which was not offered to us as a substitute for such poor customer service. The did offer us two options, elsewhere in London, no where where we wanted to be. Extremely disappointing experience with Sonder. Motif were very helpful in assisting us to find alternative accommodation for the remainder of our 5 day stay in London.

We were greeted by Suzanna who was wonderful helping us to navigate entering the bldg and unit.
Great location, large, modern and clean apartment in a great location. It is perfect for families, plenty of space for all.
We woul definitely stay here again. You’re close to many attractions and the tube is a short walk away.

very nice but luggage storage problem
Good location right in the center of Westminster. There are tesco express, pret a manger and some good restaurants nearby. No conciergy service as you would expect from a hotel but if you inquiry through email or sms, the feedback is coming through in fairly short time. One of kids had a nose bleeding and left the blood stain on a pillow, and
Sonder's response was very kind and warm.
Luggage storage is a bit of problem though. Sonder suggested Stasher but none of them had enough capacity to store all of 7 luggages all together so we had to split them into 2 groups and stored each group to different locations which are respectively about 10-min walking distance.

Excellent stay in London - would stay again.
Excellent stay. Very clean and spacious (3-bd)! Check in instructions clear. Walking distance to trafalgar/london eye/covent garden/buckingham palace, and very close to bus stops that service most popular areas of london (bus 88 to Piccadilly/regent st., 148 to marble arch). Restaurants/pubs/excellent fish n chips in the immediate area. Shopping very close by too. Our only complaint is the heating/ac system had a mind of its own.

Great apartment!
Very clean, tons of space. Beds and pillows were comfy. Good water pressure. Washer/dryer combo was a plus. I felt like I could live there. Precious views overlooking quaint courtyard. Property manager and her team were super helpful and responded to my texts right away. Walking distance to a small grocery store and several restaurants. Would absolutely stay there again.

Home away from home in Westminster
Great apartment, large, well appointed, clean and beautiful. Fully fitted kitchen. Felt like a top end hotel minus the human interaction. Everything was coordinated through the Sonders app. Convenient location, minutes walk from QEII Conference Centre and many major tourist attractions around Westminster. Close to bus stops and underground stations.
