Great option for storage lockers and comfortable lounge area was a pleasant surprise. Really convenient location to bus, streetcar and light rail. Walked a lot at night to nearby bars and restaurants. Overall very happy with my stay here.

While the concept of this property is unique and helpful for a single person who needs a toilet a bed and a shower, it was cramped for a married couple who was recovering from surgery. We left after the first night, we were booked for two nights, there wasn't a chair for my husband to sit in to be upright after his surgery, so we just left. If it were one person, I think it would be better suited, we spent $30 in parking and had a difficult time finding parking the first night. The garage that was suggested in the welcome information, was closed and only allows over night parking until 7 am. It was clean and we received a welcome note from the host.

The property was wonderful! Clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. I felt very safe when inside. Shower, TV, lighting, style, coffee/tea station, mini fridge (did not keep ice cream frozen)- all very nice. Mobile key worked great. Outside of the property, I honestly didn't feel totally safe as a solo traveler due to many dark spaces, lone people sitting/standing/sleeping in the street, and lots of trash on Boylston Ave. But, there are many wonderful businesses around and the main streets on either side, Pine and Pike, are well lit and there was a lot of foot traffic Thurs-Sat.

Love the location in Capitol Hill! Line 1 to the airport a short walk away with street cars and buses half a block walk. Great restaurants, bars, and things to do all within walking distance. Rooms are small and spartan. Still nice and designed well. They do provide a mini-fidge, coffee machine, and teas. Just FYI: This hotel is largely unstaffed. There are small amenity cabinets on every floor, but do not expect a fully staffed hotel. There are also no elevators for public use aside from a service elevator if you absolutely need it. Bring a water bottle because there are filtered water machines on every floor. I would recommend bringing an eye mask due to the ambiant light in the room coming from electronic LEDs. They do provide earplugs and a white noise machine for those not used to city noise.

Convenient and sterile
It’s great to have a hotel on Capitol Hill, but the room is stunningly sterile for an area with so much personality.

I loved the minimalist decor and how you had everything you needed. I stayed at three different Sonder locations in 4 days. I loved my experience so much. I did notice that each place you could hear noises from neighbors especially in the halls. Ear plugs were provided complimentary. Convenient entry. I recommend downloading the app to have the best experience. Will be back for sure.

We had a lovely stay and appreciated the secure feeling you get whilst staying here. We were in fact blown away to have high quality soap, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Very thankful and impressed. Will be staying at a sonder building again.
