My recent experience at this hotel exceeded expectations in every aspect. From its immaculate cleanliness to its prime location, every detail contributed to a truly exceptional stay. Upon arrival, I was impressed by the hotel's pristine condition. The room was spacious and thoughtfully appointed, providing ample space to unwind after a day of exploration. The standout feature was undoubtedly the bathroom, which gleamed with cleanliness and offered a refreshing retreat for relaxation. The inclusion of a well-maintained kitchen, complete with a stocked fridge and complimentary coffee and tea, further elevated the experience. It was evident that attention to detail was a priority, making me feel right at home during my stay. Moreover, the hotel's proximity to downtown attractions added an extra layer of convenience, allowing for easy access to the city's vibrant energy and cultural offerings. Overall, my stay at this downtown hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From its spotless accommodations to its convenient location, it surpassed all expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow travelers and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to return in the future.

Good location and well-stocked apartment. Very helpful customer service via text. The main issue was ants (our unit was in the basement), who showed up in large numbers. The apartment was also very hot and very difficult to cool down.

Such a great location to walk to different nearby places. Museums, restaurants, etc. There are some more (popular) museums that are a little farther (like 30 minute walk), but Uber is also an option. The property itself was fine. I liked how quiet it was and how easy it was to check yourself in. I only really slept there. I’d say my room was very appropriate for solo travellers or travelling in pairs.

The sofa bed was broken the first day we got there, no one would communicate with us or respond to help us out. Twice they said they were sending someone both of those nights they didn’t and half of us had to sleep on the floor. They still wouldn’t help us after that. Finally on our last day they gave us another room that didn’t have a broken bed but that was after 20 minutes of begging on the phone. No one actually works on the property. Horrible, next to none, communication and in horrible condition (bed broken??) Unless we get a refund for the first two miserable days on the floor, I’m going to make sure everyone knows how bad they are at their job

Comfortable stay in a modern apartment
The apartment was easy to find and a close walk from the train station. The baggage storage was easy to access and we left our bags there before check in. The apartment was complete and had everything you could need. The space was large and comfortable. The location was right in old Montreal but also close to the subway and many buses. I would recommend this apartment to everyone!

Great stay- only one issue
It was great! Nice place and easy to access, the only issue we had was the bed was a bit dirty- a blood stain on the top sheet so we couldn’t use it. We did enjoy the kitchen and how much space we had!

The location is great. There were restaurants nearby and a breakfast place just around the corner. We traveled with kids and needed a kitchen due to my son having severe food allergies. We found a supermarket just about 8 minutes away from the apartment which was great. The kitchen is well equipped. The reason for my 3 stars is just that the apartment is very very small for a family of 4. I booked the 1 room and the description said it fits 4 people but once you open the sofa bed in the living room there is barely any space left to move around. We could barely open our luggage due to lack of space. Otherwise we had a good stay.

The apartment was spacious,the appliances, decor and cleanliness were perfect. The themed pictures and carpet were quirky and fascinating. It is a few blocks from the Bascilica and so I was able to walk to the Sound and Light show in the evening. There are many places to eat within metres of the building.

The property is conveniently located at the edge of Old Montreal. It is about a five minute walk to Notre Dame cathedral. The property is very roomy, furnished in a minimalist design. You have a complete kitchenette available for use if you are staying longer than a couple days. They provide enough supplies to start but you will have to provide your own once you use what is provided at check-in.

The building has a great downtown location and minutes from metro station. The inside of unit was comfortable for three people and spacious. The building and unit were clean. Our issue was the location of the unit 001. We could not find it initially as we never thought it could be in the basement , service area of building, next to garbage room. Other guests in the elevator alerted us about complaints for units in the basement. Indeed the service area has an smell from the garbage room noticeable as soon as exiting the elevator. We also found the first day an small cockroach in the washroom, although unit was overall clean. Both Expedia and Sonder recognized our issue and were able to move us to another building after 2 nights as there was no other unit available. It took several hours on the phone with both to obtain resolution respecting customer satisfaction within the no refund policy of Sonder. The new unit was an upgrade. Separately, two Sonder software glitches also happened when moving to the new building 1) customer verification was being requested but no option to actually do it presented in application, and, 2) passcode to new room provided in sign-in was not working so a new one was provided. Sonder customer service was able to resolve those 2 problems quickly on the phone. The new building Penny Lane was very close to the initial Building, Victoria, and the check-in and check-out times aligned to make the transfer smooth.

We stayed in a two bedroom apartment. We loved everything about it. The location, close to grocery stores, the cleanliness of the place, the dishes, the utensils, etc. the beds were comfy, the luggage store in the building, the entry codes specific to us - everything felt that it was very well managed. We had a slight issue where our shower gel bottle pump got stuck and upon reporting the issue it was taken care of immediately. Overall, a 10/10. No complaints at all, we loved it and would definitely stay here again in the future.

Inside of the property is good except it could be a bit cleaner. I saw a centipede inside the room and the floor is a bit dusty. Also, it’s noisy ant night due to speeding cars. Overall, it’s good.

Great location
Great location at a walking distance to all Old Montreal sites and with lots of great restaurants around it. Easy to get in and out. Kitchen has all you need for a short stay if you decide to cook. Althhough the place is really nice, there's no space to place you luggage and organize your stuff. The closet has hangers and that's it. No drawers to place clothes on. Same can be appliedd to the bathroom where you cannot hang a towel. Except for that, I highly recommend it.

Perfect spot for a family
Perfect location! Love the area. Our apartment was perfect for our family of 5. Loved that fresh towels were delivered to the room the second day. In room laundry was perfect! Everything was clean. Little noise from people above, but nothing really to complain about. Would love if you had a tv in one or both of the bedrooms, for quite time. No outside sign to show that the place is a Sonder until you get into the building.

Good communication about the check-in — all done by email and using an app (as no one is on site, which was fine as expected). However, we asked for (and our reservation said it was) a non-smoking room, yet the room smelled like smoke (and still does). Otherwise the room is exactly as described.

The two bedroom was spacious and neat. Clean and simple. Supplied all the necessities. It was hot outside, it would have been nice to have some stand up fans in the bedrooms as the rooms read 24 degrees. Area was centrally located, easy to walk around and navigate. Restraunts in the area are all fantastic. Food was great!! Dandy for breakfast. Dinner you can’t go wrong anywhere. Seafood, pasta, ramen poutine and subs . Large variety of options. Would recommend to stay, coffee shop and bakery right on the corner too. Easy check in online, held bags while we waited for check in. Recommend.
