Uncomfortable stay
The room was of standard furnishings and was in a fair condition. However, the room looked completely different and much more basic than any of the images. The bathroom was tiny and barely had enough room to stand in the shower cubicle. Also, despite visiting when it was not particularly hot, the room was boiling, had no air conditioning and the window opened only by about 2 inches. There was a fan provided but this merely blew hot air around. This made for an uncomfortable nights sleep and I would not return as a result.

Convenient location 5-10 minutes from the tube and nice walk to adjacent areas. Relatively quiet, upscale surroundings. Neutral, modern furnishings and bathroom consistent with photos. Single twin room was tiny (i.e., not enough space to fully open a large suitcase) and wifi didn't work in my room for most of my stay, but the lobby/lounge area was a useful place to sit and work as needed. Seamless check in and out via the app, and the staff very kindly carried my heavy suitcase inside when they saw me on the sidewalk. Overall, a solid 3* hotel if you value the location and look and are ok with fairly minimal amenities.

Stressful check-in & left with heat exhaustion!
Reduced to tears at check-in & nearly passed out of heat exhaustion in sauna-like room. Sadly very much style over substance. Would absolutely NOT recommend this place to stay at any costs.

Okay but lacks in important areas
Hotel is in a nice area. Close to Gloucester Road Station which makes the rest of london very easy to access and walkable for those who like walking. The room was fine and had everything you would need for a short stay BUT the hotel has no AC and refused to provide a fan so on a hot day, this was a shockingly bad stay.

Okay …..
Very clean & tidy hotel, that served us well for a performance at the RAH Our room was small but well equipped with the necessaries - iron, ironing board, hairdryer, fan, toiletries, kettle, coffee machine, tea/coffee A couple of things to note :- - the bed was not comfortable …… unfortunately not a good nights sleep - the plug sockets for the coffee machine & kettle are located underneath the desk, which would usually be perfect. However, the table is screwed to the wall, with no possible access route to feed the plug cables down to reach the sockets! To be able to boil the kettle, it either had to be placed on the floor underneath the desk or on the bedside table. To use the coffee machine was the same or the machine had to be pulled to the front edge of the desk & the cable pulled taut off of the front ledge to reach the socket …… Baffling but maybe an oversight?

Excellent for business or pleasure
A new property, in excellent condition. Stunning location. Clean, comfortable rooms with well-functioning facilities (not to be taken for granted in the UK). Rooms are small but that is to be expected. The staff are courteous and helpful, but there's only so much they can do as most customer service goes through the Sonder App.

We were here when London had the hottest days in June. The room without air conditioning was a torture, but the staff here did help us get another fan, which helped a bit. The mattress and pillows were good, the location was really convenient. I would just try to avoid this hotel if I were to travel to London again during it’s hot summer.

Surprisingly lovely stay
Lovely compact hotel situated in a quiet area in Kensington. Amenities and glouster road station is within a 5 minute walk. The room has everything you need a tv, nespresso coffee machine and a kettle, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, a comfy bed king sized bed and walk in shower with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel bottles. Guests can help themselves to essentials which are located in reception. Entering the building and room are by done by key code. Although we couldn’t had no aircon a little desktop fan solved this issue. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Sonder.

Enjoyable stay
We stayed 8 nights and were overall happy with our stay. Everyone at the front desk was friendly and helpful. We had one interaction with the housekeeper and she was also friendly and helpful. The hotel is updated and clean. We heard very little noise from other guests. The location is only a short walk to the Tube station and restaurants. The neighborhood seems quite safe. The room and bathroom were quite small but we knew that from reading other reviews so it was acceptable. The only real issue was that there was no light directly above the bathroom mirror which made shaving difficult due to shadows from the overhead lights. If we could customize our review score we would give it 4.5
