    I did not receive their SMS instruction for online check-in for some reason and when I arrived there was no on-site staff to help me. Had I not with my colleague who had checked in, I would not have ben able to enter the building to start with. After exchanging messages via the Bookings.com several hours and making a call to the help number, I was able to obtain the necessary codes for my room. Also, the luggage locker was broken and we could not get our luggage. The staff who answered my phone call arranged someone to come and open the locker. That particular set of lockers was very old, and the door was crooked. All these took several hours and it was not until 7.30pm before I was able to relax in my room.

    The location was good - short walking distance to the Metro station, a supermarket and restaurants.

    There was no place to hang the towels in the bathroom and the bathroom door was broken. The house is very loud, you get earplugs for free.

    The hotel is old, but clean and maintained. Fridges in the basement and the first floor allow for food storing. The location is off the center (bus services are unreliable, but cheap walking works too), but the area itself is really nice. Very good restaurants in the area.

    Freezing hallways. Ran out of bottled water for a day. I asked for fresh towels, in an email and chat, two days before I checked out. I asked twice. I never received fresh towels before I left. Luckily I saved one bath towel to reuse for my checkout day shower The young caretaker told me she had been off for two days. But it wasn't her fault. The messages I received said they got my messages and that the towels would be refreshed by someone. Later I learned there were fresh towels in a cupboard in the lobby bathroom. It would have been helpful it there was a notice in the room telling me where to get fresh towels if needed.

    Clean, plenty of heat from the room heater, snacks and coffee available in the lobby. Friendly staff when they were present. Comfortable bed.

    Sadly the window was broken and there was no hot water until the last 2 days of my stay. They got me an additional radiator for compensation since it got kinda cold in my room. I was okay with that but quite a price for a cold room..

    My coffee machine in my room was broken, the one in the lobby was broken. The snack trays were always empty. My room was extremely loud. My AC was broken and the remote didn’t work. I asked my coworker to look at it and someone else and everyone concluded it was broken. As a result, my room was extremely hot.

    The location was good. My room was decently clean.

    Dirty bedding & it was a mission to check in

    My bedding was dirty, there was a blood stain on it. I contacted the team who mentioned that I were to get clean bedding in the cuboard and change it myself. Also the check in process is so inconvenient especially without a local phone. I had to ask another guest to use her phone upon checking in early hours of the morning. I won't recommend Sonder, I'll rather pay a little extra for peace of mind and convince.
