Great amenities. Comfortable bed and loved having a little kitchenette space. Luggage storage lockers in the lobby were so helpful. My only complaint was some difficulty with the mobile entry on a couple of occasions.

Gorgeous brownstone next to Newbury. It is a bit loud in the area being on commonwealth ave, but the perfect walkable location. We loved our stay at sonder. The unit we were in was beautiful and we especially loved the gas fireplace. Would stay there again in a heartbeat .

Loved it!
This was my first time staying at a Sonder property. My husband and I were very pleased with the entire experience! The entire contactless experience was very easy and straightforward. The room had a lot of character and included all the essentials. I Wait, why are we being quick? would definitely recommend them!

First time in a Sonder. Takes a little to get used to the do it yourself concept. Nice place, very convenient and quiet. We arrived early, and the luggage lockers were full but the concierge kindly let us leave our bags with him and then brought them up to our room. Nice room but lacked drawers for storage. There was a plastered over patch on the ceiling but not painted. The toilet roll holder was loose. Overall enjoyed our stay.

The location was great, there were so many shops and restaurants in walking distance! Would definitely recommend this place to a friend. The stay was charming, clean, convenient to get in/out, and had everything we needed for a short stay in Boston.

Doesn’t live up to the pictures. First floor is actually the basement. I could hear all the cars and people walking past- they were right there outside the window. Terrible sound proofing in the halls, too. Room wasn’t in very good shape; stains on carpet, can’t close the curtains properly, water damage to the vanity in the bathroom. For such a fancy looking hotel online, the kitchen had paper plates and cups!
