Key pad entry. Efficient kitchen. Clean. I thought it was a bit pricey for no breakfast and no service. Good linens and bed. Nothing fancy

I would give this stay 6-7/10. First, Sonder has an online system for checking in. However, they will not allow early check in even if the room is ready early on the day of your stay, unless you pay extra. Second, our room smelled like cigarette smoke. We tried to ask a staff member to see if they could re-clean, but the cleaning staff do not speak English (in Ottawa). We were also told the hotel was fully booked for that night, and that smoke is quite common as it is an old building. I woke up with a severely irritated throat from the smoke. I will however give credit to one of the very friendly staff who arranged for another room for our second and third nights, which was excellent and smelled very clean. Aside from smoke, the property is very well maintained and rooms/apartments are very spacious, and feel quite homey.

The room was good overall, but we had a balcony facing the street. It meant it was very loud. They did leave earplugs for us but it did little to drown the noise through the cheap windows and poorly sealed balcony door.

The room we had was designed poorly. The kicthenette was 1/2 the size it should have been. it hsould have been l shaped in the corner. The bathroom was also layed out badly. The light switch was on the wrong side off the door , the shower oriented 180 degrees wrong and the towel bar was on the wrong side. the fixures and furniture were fine but the unit was designed wrong. Every time I attempted to turn on the bathroom light I was reaching in the wrong spot for it

Super convenient location; felt safe and secure; clean, modern, spacious studio- everything we needed was supplied and in very good condition. Our place had a kitchen that was well equipped, with boutique grocery next door. Luggage storage for the day of check out was a bonus. We’d stay here again in future. Price was excellent for what was the perfect location and place for the two of us.

Good piec à terre in a central location
Pros: close to Parliament Hill and good food options. Gym is spacious though not well equipped. Free laundry in basement and kitchens have all you need for simple meals. Con: the cleanliness could be improved and the place is a little scruffy/damaged, the aircon has difficulty regulating the temperature consistently (on and off all night), and, some rooms stare directly into another building so you need to keep the blinds down all the time.

The pre verification and automoatic check in was ridiculous and led to us standing on the street at 1 am unable to get into the hotel for an hour. I will never use Sonder again.

Was a very peaceful, clean and welcoming place to stay! 10 min walk from Rideau mall which was super convenient. Felt comfortable talking to staff and asking for help with certain things. Everything inside room was spotless and well organized. Had no problem with TV or wifi! Overall amazing experience.

It was great, staff is very nice, only two things to comment on , the shower was low flow - I wish the shower was better , and if you are tall you have to bend a little, and the TV wasn’t connected/didn’t work sadly Thank you , will be back !

Very nice quality room for the price, was very impressed, the studio apartment are a bit small but i prefer that considering we were just me and my girlfriend and we had a full kitchen at our disposal Bathroom was exemplary in terms of cleanliness, nice comfortable clean bed. Smart TV and had an HDMI cable already in the room in case you bring your laptop and wanna plug it My only complaint is that if you decide to step out at midnight or later and forget your pass code and your phone is dead and you dont have a charger at hand, you now no longer have a way to get back into your room cause they dont give you a physical key I had to use my girlfriends phone and download the app Other than that, great place
