Great value - a little studio in the city
Such a convenient room with terrace - and great value for the money!

Worst NYC Sonder - Do Not Book Here
I had to leave this hotel because the penthouse suite I booked had no tv working and no heat. Sonder fixed this and I went to another property of theirs. Do not book this hotel, however. There is a small elevator. Loud restaurant. Tons of stairs.

Space to relax in comfort
NYC is known for expensive small rooms but The William was positively palatial. Having a kitchen kept food costs down and view with sunshine in the morning a lovely way to get up to explore the city. No tourist surcharge! No extra hidden costs. Everything we could need and great service if we needed. Downstair Shakespeare bar a safe haven for drinks and food. We stayed a week and could not fault it.

Nearly five stars
I would have given this hotel rating of five stars, but the night I visited, there was a very loud party on the first floor (I was on the 5th) that went well after midnight.

This was a last minute decision. New York hotels are very expensive. This place is less than half the price of hotels in New York. I definitely wasn't expecting a hotel. I believe this is a brownstone apartment that was converted once upon a time. It was done very well. But it definitely does not have the hotel feel. I think it would be hard to match that level. Having said that, it's very deserving of five stars. This is a great dollar value proposition. Great bang for your buck. I highly recommend.

So much space!!!
The William was great! I thought the contactless check in would be strange, but was actually super convenient. Our room was huge, especially for nyc! Fully appointed kitchen with 2 burners, full cookware and dishes, mini fridge, microwave, sink and coffee machine was amazing! We cooked our own breakfast every morning. Bed was comfy and smart TVs worked great. Shower drained really slow, that was the only negative. Loved the overall boutique feel of the hotel. Location was walkable to several different subway stations, grocery, coffee. Just loved our stay!

If you can stay in a room that has a kitchen you can save a lot of money by using the nearby supermarkets and preparing your own meals. Great location.

We loved the William! Staff was very cool and helpful. We loved the Raines Law room bar - great vibe and excellent cocktails. The hotel rooms are huge by NYC standards, and we were 20 minutes from anywhere we wanted to go. We will be back!

Outdated, dirty
Dirty, outdated, overall disappointing stay. I’ve stayed in different Sonder locations so I was quite shocked at the poor conditions of The William. I originally booked (and paid) an early check-in for a double bed room, just for the front desk to tell us the room wasn’t available as we went to check in. Instead, they put us in two separate rooms, which were able to enter 1.5 hours after our scheduled check in time. They still tried to charge us for the early check-in fee despite not respecting our early check in request!!!! After some back and forth, they finally agreed to refund me but that whole interaction was so demeaning and condescending. Elevators are super slow too.

It was great. I strongly suggest getting the kitchenette. We were able to cook and relax. Tv didn’t work in one room but we didn’t watch enough anyway. Bar downstairs and the bar further downstairs seemed cool but we didn’t go. If you go stay here tell them I said hello!

Great location and spacious rooms
Really good location about 5 minutes walk from the Grand Central Terminal. Safe neighbourhood. Perfect if you arrive from JFK with the Air Train to Jamaica and then the Long Island Rail Road to Grand Central. Rooms really spacious by NYC standards and clean. Be aware of the fact that this is not a full service hotel and that the front desk is not open 24/7. However, the entry codes work very well and the staff is really friendly. In case you have some disability then it might be problematic to get in when the front desk is not open - the stairs from the street to the entrance are quite steep.

Sonder the William
The hotel location is extraordinary, a 5 minute walk to Grand Central, and about 15 minute to several major attractions. The neighborhood is nice, and has many shops nearby. The hotel was clean and comfortable, although the rooms are very small as you would expect in New York. One thing I didn't like is that cleaning services were not included. The bar at the hotel seems to be very popular amongst locals, and it was always busy.

Boutique Hotel, close to Grand Central
Overall a nice place. Friendly and well located on Manhattan. I had a very clean, spacious and quiet room with a small kitchen area. The bathroom had everything you would need, big shower. The bed was comfortable and the linen of nice quality. My only complaint is that the room didn't have a work area. The very friendly and service minded manager, promised she would look into it for other guests.

My room faced 39th avenue and was very noisy! You could hear every little (amd major) sound outside. They need to provide earplugs! Lobby was to dark for my taste.

If you have a problem you are on your own...
Spent two days here, had a major issue each day, ended up leaving to go to another hotel. The hotel is mostly run by their app.  My first night the app could not open my door, which kept me locked out for half hour while trying to get help via the app as all hotel staff is gone late night. After 20 mins on chat the online rep was not able to help me figure out the problem with the mobile key not working and the pin pad entry code alternative not working either. They left the chat telling me to find staff on property, which as part Sonder model... There is no nighttime staff on property. Remained locked out until I figured out the app key error deactivates pinpad use and locks it. The next day I find the toilet that had not worked well from the start was now totally blocked. I spent next hour trying to get help from chat, (where rep literally stopped responding when I pointed out if they could not fix the toilet they needed to reimburse for room) then phone and on site staff, was hilariously offered a late check out (but no solution to a room with no working toilet and told to use lobby four floors down, or move to a hotel far away from location where there is not subway on east river. ) Paid for second hotel around the corner.
