We stayed in a queen room which was small but perfectly formed and ideal for a night or two. If staying longer, we'd go for a bigger room. Very clean all around the hotel.  …

I was not familiar with the Sonder chain before booking and therefore did not know that it is not a full service hotel. It is a pity this is not made clear when using booking platforms such as Booking.com.  …

This was the perfect hotel for our stay. The rooms were of good size and were clean and modern. The bathroom was beautiful.||The nice little coffee bar at the reception was used for our mornings first coffee, but we had breakfast at nearby neighborhoods. ||I would recommend this hotel as an easy London base. Would visit again.
