A small cheap hotel located close to what we needed but you get what you pay for. A tiny room, a lift that does not inspire confidence and little support from the few staff that are around.

I am from the US so I based my decision to stay here on the pictures and description of the hotel and room, which are described exactly as is in person. My room was so cute and cozy! It was warm with a nice heater and an option to crack open my window, put the ceiling fan on and enjoy the nice chill of London weather! The staff were super friendly and offered help learning the Underground travel system. I strongly recommend a stay at Sonder!

The hotel is in a quiet area about 15 min walk from the tube. The room was clean and comfortable. I stayed in a single room and it was perfect for my needs. Staff were helpful when I needed their help. Breakfast had a nice choice of friut, breads & pastries, meat & cheese. I would stay again.

Great place to stay right in London. We had so much to do in walking distance and public transportation is all with in minutes of a quick walk. We loved how quiet the room was and how nice and clean it was. We would stay here again!

Stayed here for 4 nights. Quiet & safe hotel. Close to Kensington gardens. Close to bus stops. Breakfast is good, has nespresso machine which I love, also has one in the room. The only thing is the bathroom fan does not work. Otherwise, we had a great stay.

The location is amazing, an easy walk to so many iconic London sites. The hands off approach, with service available as needed, really works well for me. And the complimentary continental breakfast and all day pastries and premium coffee was a real treat. The rooms are not large, but they’re comfortable and have everything you need. And did I mention location?

The hotel in a great location very clean and the staff pleasant helpful. Good breakfast. However the booked room turned out to be very different from the website presentation. Ending up with a blanked out window next to a commercial bin store. Being on a tight schedule on arrival giving no time to seek a change of room. helpful .

The building is beautiful, we had a good time there. Rooms were very clean. The breakfast is missing some variety, for me, there were too many sweets. But over all I can recommend staying there, it is very close to Kensington Gardens and has many options for public transport nearby.

The rooms and bathrooms were a bit dated and musty. The shower was so small that it was a challenge to shower without getting water everywhere. Everything else was great.
