Sonder St. John's Garden

A clean, small apartment very close to the city center. The room was extremely hot even in May outside temperatures. Despite a paid early-check the room wasn't ready. The door code stopped working and it took 30min to get a new one in the middle of the night. The room neighbors had similar issues. The customer service online was very kind and helpful when solving the issues but they shouldn't have occurred in the first place. I got a partial refund as promised.

No air conditioning in the room. There were 32 degrees Celsius over the day... No elevator. No reception. No one who speaks English in the hotel. We had problems. The only solution was to chat with a representative who gave a terrible service. We will never go back there again.

The location is excellent, & check in was super easy. Place was very clean, but… it was not the room I booked. The room I booked showed a washer in the pictures. Thus, I packed for my long trip expecting to do some laundry there. After using the app to communicate with someone from Sonders, it didn’t go anywhere. The room I booked was already occupied and they were trying to get me a room at another property. Not ideal because after 15 hours traveling I didn’t want to go somewhere else. I waited for an hour sitting on a chair for this possible relocation. I didn’t want to make myself comfortable because that room could be needed. After one hour without response I started the chat again and it seemed I had to explain everything again to a new person. I gave up and just did my laundry in the kitchen sink. Beyond that frustration, it was also hard to get good sleep. The room faces a very loud street. I’m used to city noise but that was a lot. Closing the window would help but the room would get too hot. The fan provided was basically useless and was almost as loud as the street. Lastly, there were sulfer smells that would come from the bathroom randomly regardless of whether the ventilation fan was on or not.

The room was spotless, and had nearly everything I needed. The room. I had needed somewhere to eat, I had to eat on the bed. On the plus side, the linen was spotless and the kitchenette was well equipped

Room was very small and I kept banging my head on the light above the bed! Lots of utensils and crockery. Strangely no milk sachets to have with tea and no coffee at all despite a Nespresso coffee machine. No air con, and I couldn’t open the windows as it was so noisy on the street. They did have good Wi-Fi and Netflix

The blind was broken I tried to undo the cord that was attached to a piece of furniture and the blind fell off. Room smelled. It is noisy.
