Comfortable stay
Lovely stay at the The Boylston Sonder. The only downside was the fact that there was no lift so had to rely on relation to carry cases up 5 flights of stairs. Bed was very comfortable, had coffee machine and refrigerator and if course an air con unit.

They don’t have a front desk. I had trouble entering the building and I had to contact someone from overseas to help me. They couldn’t get me into my room and said they would give me a new code but they didn’t. I have been getting in and out of the building thankfully due to other people letting me in. I would not stay at this property again unless they decided to change things.

Comfy room, no elevator
The room was very nice, clean and comfortable. However, we had just arrived after a week long cruise with a lot of heavy luggage. There is no elevator available to get luggage to the top floor (which we were on). A sign indicated that a service lift was available. I texted the number on the sign and the person who responded didn't seem to know what I was talking about at first. Finally, after about 15-20 minutes of waiting downstairs, someone came and brought our bags up. When we were departing, we had to carry our heavy luggage down 3 flights of steps.

This place was very nice if you are under 30. Read the description of the place carefully. Itvsays in little letters no elevator. I missed that. It also said help would come if asked. We asked twice no one came. We also were unable to stream to the TV. It was a very clean and nice place to stay. But no for us as carry 4 suitcases up 5 flight of stairs was to much for us old people.

I needed to find a more economical place to stay to attend a conference in downtown Seattle -- and did not want to pay the premium price at the host hotel. I discovered the Sonder -- and the reviews were clear about what I was getting: key-less entry with no staff on the premises, no elevator. So I knew that going in -- and it was a terrific choice for me. There is an adjacent city parking garage where I parked my car for $15/day. The key-code was easy to use to access front door and my room. I did not feel stranded because the app provided a number to call if there was a need -- and there was a phone number in my room to call if necessary (along with two chocolates). The whole place is super clean; I walked nearby to get my coffee and found a wine store (and there was a corkscrew in the room)! I convened a Zoom meeting for two hours with the excellent WiFi connection. I am 68 years old, travelling by myself, and navigated the stairs to the sixth floor just fine and walked downtown to my meetings. I got my steps in! I would definitely return.

The solitude and quiet was wonderful, the room was modern and clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower was excellent -- I didn't feel like I was paying for amenities I didn't want or need. I did miss having a chair and work surface, as I was staying on business and did have to do a fair amount of laptop work. I made it work, and I could have gone down to the lounge and used the table there, but I didn't want to lug my stuff down there. Super happy, though, would definitely stay again.

I loved my stay at the Sonder! The staff was so helpful when maintenance in my original room prevented me from checking in early. I received a room upgrade and a refund for the early check-in fee. The Sonder is also conveniently located near the Capitol Hill light rail station, and it's only a short walk to the waterfront. It was my first time in Seattle and, as a young solo traveler, this was an ideal building and neighborhood to stay in!

Disliked: Amenities
I was incredibly disappointed in the room. Nothing in the description led me to believe that I had rented a room where the shower was the first thing you saw upon entering and that the only thing "private" in the "private bathroom" was the toilet. There was absolutely no room for two people to move around freely. A terrible deal for that much money.

Unfortunately, we drew the short stick and got a room on the top floor. It wasn't too bad, as we aren't so old yet that we can't do stairs. However, getting luggage in and out was a challenge. Also, I didn't realize that there would be no cleanings while there. Also, shower privacy was non-existant. Good location to Convention Center and restaurants.

This Property was amazing ! The Sonder had a very cool modern no fuss just easy! From the get-Go! The check in process was so fast fasted check in so far literally like seconds. Than shower in the room was amazing! The hot water was hit just the right spot. Cons: no elevator BUT that was fine However I would not recommend for someone who has physical handicaps. It’s not wheel chair friendly. Maybe there is an elevator. Either way awesome stay ! Safe and super chill neighborhood

There isn’t an elevator. So if you’re on the 6th floor with luggage you’ll be sorry.
