We have stayed at 2 NYC Sonder Locations and have been very happy with both. Clean, convenient and comfortable… and affordable!
Will stay for future visits.

Great Stay
We had an excellent stay at Sonder the Merchant. It's brand new with beautiful gold fixtures in the bathroom, and we especially loved the location in the Lower East Side. We would definitely consider staying here again on our next NYC trip.

We had a mostly great stay at this hotel. The decor was beautiful, and the staff went above and beyond to make my husband’s birthday feel special, which we really appreciated.
The bed was huge and very comfortable, and the balcony view of the city was stunning.
That said, we could hear everything from the neighbouring rooms, and there were a few housekeeping issues — a dirty rag was left in the room, we weren’t given any soap, and someone entered despite the “Do Not Disturb” sign. Small things, but attention to detail matters.
Overall, a stylish and comfortable stay with thoughtful service — just a few things that could be improved.

The room was big and the bed was comfy! The coffee shop in the lobby was great - a great place to work. And the rooftop bar was cute. I like the area!
However, we asked them to clean our room every day and they only did the last day. Getting more towels took forever. the hot water went out right when I needed to shower before an event. The gym was INSANELY hot like unbearable.

Staff was extremely unhelpful and rude. Felt like it could have been racially motivated. I will not be staying here ever again.
