Very quaint, clean space with amazing access to the Boston area. Right between Newbury and Comm Ave, with lots to eat and enjoy.

8/10 Very good

Anniversary trip

We enjoyed our trip. The room was very good. Wood floors would be better than rugs. They felt damp through-out the hotel. Main floor could be more attractive and welcoming. We would return though because we felt safe and loved our room.

4/10 Fair

The room was really small. We had stayed there before in another room and it was great. This time we payed more and the room was tiny, we couldn't even open our luggage.

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 .

Back Bay has my heart. Beautiful area with a lot of dining and shopping options. The hotel has an easy access. I would improve the cleanliness. Everything was amazing

This property had the charm and character of an old brownstone but the modern conveniences of a hotel.

All was great until the fire alarm went off.
Anna, 2-night trip

Great experience. Somewhere in between a hotel and an airb&b. Right on commonwealth Avenue easy walk to public garden and Boston common.

Contactless travel

Really great stay. A perfect place for anyone with social anxiety. Contactless check in is my new favorite way to travel.
Stephen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Jennifer, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

The sleeping conditions were pretty bad and parking was a nightmare yesterday. Area around the hotel is nice, lots of options to eat at.

Great
Angela R, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

My remote key did not work, so I had to punch in the long code each time I went in. My room was clean, and the location was convenient and close to everything, so I would probably stay here again. However I was woken up at 7am to drilling, and construction noises that sounded like they were coming through the wall in my room, and my bed was even vibrating. Not to happy when I like to sleep in when I am on vacation.
Erin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was very clean, and had a nice view looking out to commonwealth ave. I was worried about parking, but was only there for a night so parked at the garage next to King's which was only a 4 minute walk. The check in was seamless and all communications overall were great!

Unbeatable location

The space was beautiful and the location couldn’t be beat. It’s an old building, though, so very drafty. There were some issues when I arrived (TV and electric kettle weren’t working), but they were resolved.
