On a 2 week Euro-trip, this was my fav stay. The staff was friendly, the place was easy to navigate. No issues with any outlets or appliances. Shopping & food was closeby - we didn't use transit once just because it was THAT walkable. Will def be coming back the next time I come to Edinburgh. Will also look into other Sonder properties when traveling!

Great location but poor quality
Great location and space but poor standard for the price point. We had a two bed apartment for a family of four (two adults and two children) and were impressed by the information and process pre-arrival and on the app. Didn’t really need service during our stay but staff were friendly. However, the finish, maintenance and quality of the building and apartment was very poor considering the price point and that it only opened last year. For example, a piece of the sash window came off (it wasn’t fully tightened) when we opened the window (almost hitting my little one), the panels on the radiators kept falling off, the dishwasher could only open a quarter of the way (!) because of the skirting board positioning, the shower wouldn’t drain properly, skirting boards were coming away from the wall at many places. Beds and pillows were uncomfortable. And WiFi connection was almost non-existent.

Staying at a location like this really made a once in a lifetime trip even more special. Clean. Tastefully decorated. Came with all of the amenities you can need—and the location was so nice. Managing to be nestled between old town and new town—a quiet space overlooking a gorgeous garden. Close to shops and some incredible dining—and truly steps away from public transit. The staff were always friendly and engaging and prompt in assisting with any of our needs. We will absolutely keep Sonder on our radar for any of our future travels no matter the location. The attention to detail and friendly service goes such a long way.

Lovely apartment
We had a great stay! The only critical thing I have to say is that there isn’t complimentary room cleaning or turn down service, hey charge an extra fee for that if you want it. Otherwise our stay was lovely, the facility was very nice, and the people at the front desk were extremely kind and helpful! It was pretty centrally located and had amenities that we enjoyed. Overall we would stay here again!

Very clean and professional, but the appliances were all confusing to use, and I didn't know that I had to look for an instructions in the app. Made things challenging when the other people I was staying with were senior citizens. Otherwise, most other aspects of the property were great.

Great value, unbeatable location, amazing comfort
The whole process was seamless - from leaving our bags in the lockers and checking in, to the stay itself. Central being an understatement - with walkable distance to every single thing you would want to visit in Edinburgh, comfortable and more than spacious for a three night stay and a fair price to boot - I’d highly recommend it.
