7 minute walk to closest train station. Rooms are pretty good size, but bathroom is small, especially the shower. Wasn’t able to control temperature in room but luckily the temperature was fine for our stay.
Had a nice stay at the Sonder for a weekend away. Short walk from Gloucester Road tube station which was easy to get into central London for the day.
Easy check in on the app meaning no interaction with staff, entrance to the building and hotel room using a room key from my iPhone. Great feature.
Beds were two singles put together with king bedding on and I felt like I was falling through the gap occasionally during the night.
Shower tray was damaged with scuffs - originally thought it was hairs from a previous guest but on further inspection it was severely damaged by something sharp. Caused no issue to use the shower though.
Small amount of tea and coffee in the room, however you could go to the lounge by the entrance and pick up more bits and bobs for your use. Take-away cups also available to make a drink to takeaway with you.
Room was clean and no issues to report.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was very basic, the fan didn’t work so it got quite hot.
Good for a night stay but is a no thrills Sonder. Not common as most Sonder venues are pretty solid options. Good safe and quiet location however and close to stations for easy transport. Would stay again
Super quick check-in and check-out experience, clean and comfortable room. Only thing was room was pretty warm and found it difficult to cool down but not overly problematic.

Great property but the amenities not available as described and the atmosphere inside hotel could have been made and decorated better in terms of adding more picture and making it more charming and welcoming
I would just add a refrigerator, ice, microwave for guest that are staying more than 4 days

Disliked: Room comfort
Uncomfortable stay
The room was of standard furnishings and was in a fair condition. However, the room looked completely different and much more basic than any of the images. The bathroom was tiny and barely had enough room to stand in the shower cubicle. Also, despite visiting when it was not particularly hot, the room was boiling, had no air conditioning and the window opened only by about 2 inches. There was a fan provided but this merely blew hot air around. This made for an uncomfortable nights sleep and I would not return as a result.
