Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I was incredibly disappointed with my stay at Sonder. We stayed in the single double room. It was so small that my friend and I had to take turns getting ready because two people couldn’t walk at the same time, the floors were filthy, the shower door didn’t latch so the bathroom was always soaked, there was no decor in the room to make it more inviting, the fridge was literally a skincare fridge and wasn’t big enough to fit any food, and I couldn’t even get an extra pillow to make my stay more comfortable because they “forgot to order more” The whole stay was just disappointing and really affected my enjoyment of my vacation.

I didn't have hot water for a day and the front desk laughed at me when I went down to ask what was going on. I had to go to work without a shower. Horrific. I was told I would get $50 compensation but still haven't received it. I wouldn't recommend staying here at all. Disgraceful

It's just that stupid sink
The tiny room, tiny fridge no microwave would've fine except for the ridiculous tiny sink with oversized faucet and shelf just above keeping you from leaning over. Impossible to not get your feet wet as it splashed over the rim. We got there early and planned to use the lockers in the lobby but the woman at the desk let us get right into our room at 11 instead of 4, so I give the staff 5 stars. Everyone was friendly and the room seemed to block outside noise.

A comfy bed and an excellent shower only let down by a poor bathroom layout, some cleanliness issues and a bit of sound leakage around the door all of which are easily fixable! The subway is minutes away and some good nearby breakfast spots to start your day. Lovely staff and a fair price. Would recommend!

At Home in Brooklyn
I always stay here when I come to New York. Best location - convenient to Prospect Park & the Union St Subway. Great pizza and bbq steps away. Good lobby for working and visiting, The people are the desk are so kind and helpful. It's kind of like having a little studio in the City. We always feel at home.

Step Above a Hostel
The concept is interesting. The app shows beautiful photos..the hotel looks nothing like them. It was easy to check in and basic accommodations but overall feels like a step above a hostel. The “lobby” was a front area that smelled pretty bad and had a cabinet so toilet paper and a chalk board with nearby coffee/food options. No music playing or decor or environment, just odd. I honestly think something may be dead in the wall like a squirrel/rat. I almost bought room spray. You can hear EVERYTHING in your room, every door shutting, people using a communal microwave in the lobby, and all the construction happening right next door. I know they can’t help construction but it was unfortunate. No water in rooms or vending machines. It was as basic as it gets. If it was super cheap I would get it, but I wished I had booked elsewhere for the price.
