6/10 Okay

Great location, nice breakfast, friendly staff. Overall would recommend this hotel, if you are looking for a super location in South Kensington close to the museums and shopping this is the place to stay. On the downside, no AC, even in cooler months higher floors are very poorly ventilated, if you can sleep in 25c no problem
Paul, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very clean, good location, check in straightforward and easy, great for a business stay
Andrew, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I enjoyed my stay at Sonder. The area is really quiet and safe and super close to public transports and restaurants. The rooms are small but it’s enough for one person.
Marion, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great neighbourhood and comfortable

This is a great hotel as it is in a very neighbourhood, close to the underground, within walking distance of the South Kensington museums and some nice places to eat. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, had coffee and tea facilities, and a decent bathroom. Breakfast was included, although it is fairly simple buffet, but certainly more than enough. I’d definitely stay here again.
Graham, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had an excellent 2-night stay @ the Gilbert. Calm, wellblinded room, good bed. It is 5-7 min walk from Gloucester Rd station and shorter to supermarket and pubs/restaurants. Breakfast was sufficient with fresh bread and freshly squeezed oranges. We will definitely recommend.
Anne Louise Lindecrona, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very kind staff, and great area to stay in
Adrian, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Convenient hotel in a quiet pleasant area of Londo

We didn't need any special help so the fact that everything at the hotel seemed to be 'self-service' was fine. The breakfast room is quite noisy with coffee machine, toaster and juice machine all being used constantly. Not enjoyable if you make the mistake of sitting near the buffet. Otherwise, a great breakfast. Love the location. Close to Gloucester Road tube, a direct bus from our arrival at Marylebone Station. My favourite London district for strolling around.
5-night trip

8/10 Good

Single room was small but had everything needed. No air con which I knew about when booking but the room was very hot even through was not a particularly hot March day. Might be very warm in summer. Window only opened a small way.

6/10 Okay

Just so so but the location is quite convenient.
Percy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I only stayed for two nights. Room size is small especially bathroom but the overall price is great for short stay. The staff was nice and helpful when I have reported that the radiator seemed not working in the room, they provided the probable heater, and offered a compensation of late checkout.
Yuet Wah, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Charming and unique rooms, great location. Everything was really well attended too, would def stay again, the bathroom is awesome!
Lauren, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Joanna, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was a bit small, especially the bathroom and the shower, but overall it was a great place. The room had all the facilities needed, a bit hot tho even if the radiator was off
Beatrice, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good for a night stay but is a no thrills Sonder. Not common as most Sonder venues are pretty solid options. Good safe and quiet location however and close to stations for easy transport. Would stay again
1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Not a huge fan

The rooms were great, but I hate the fact I had to create ana account to check in to the rooms. The water also had issues as it would not stay hot. There is also a charge to make up the room which I have never seen before?
mohamed, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Weekend stay

I only stayed for two nights so I didn´t make use of the full range of service available. For such short stay it was perfect.Very nice clean bathroom with all products on the shelf and a great bed. I ask no more than that when I have a short stop over. Iron, safety box, and kettle for maiking tea too
Allan, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Cosy room

Nice location. Clean and cosy rooms with just enough space. Minus for no handheld showerhead and no sentral air/aircondition.
Cecilie, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Super quick check-in and check-out experience, clean and comfortable room. Only thing was room was pretty warm and found it difficult to cool down but not overly problematic.
Stuart, 1-night trip

Fantastic value for money
Josh, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

7 minute walk to closest train station. Rooms are pretty good size, but bathroom is small, especially the shower. Wasn’t able to control temperature in room but luckily the temperature was fine for our stay.
Uzziel, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Generally nice Hotel, the rooms are all well equipped but it's worth mentioning that room cleaning has to be ordered and paid separately.
Peter, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Great property but the amenities not available as described and the atmosphere inside hotel could have been made and decorated better in terms of adding more picture and making it more charming and welcoming
Laini, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I would just add a refrigerator, ice, microwave for guest that are staying more than 4 days
