Amazing room right in downtown. Loved the room and the location, perfect spot for our anniversary!

Great place for a solo or couple. The studio was very clean and very comfortable. The bed was great. I appreciated the community from the property prior to my arrival. Entrance to the unit was very easy. I will happily book here again.

This place was a true gym needle in the haystack it was decorated amazingly the location was perfect we will be staying there every chance we get when we come back to Alexandria Old town. And one surprise we found is that the bathroom floors are heated that was awesome
10.0 / 10.0
Great stay, loved the room (301).The one thing I would suggest is replacing the full-length mirror near the kitchenette with a drop-down table and have a couple of small/folding chairs instead of the single large chair. That would make the space more workable of couples. Otherwise, awesome stay, would do it again!

Overall this was a nice hotel. We had a studio. The bathroom felt oddly conspicuous, just frosted glass walls separating that part of the room from the rest, but otherwise it was nice. It did feel a little disconcerting being fully self-service but we knew that was the arrangement when we reserved the room so I can't really complain about that. All in all, it was a very clean, adequate space at a good price. Would stay there again.

This Sonder location has a lot of work that needs to be done. Paint was chipping off the ceiling and the window seals. There were no hand or face towels. I had to go over to the Ross to purchase so faced so I can wash my face and body. The television streaming apps did not work. And because the building is so old the smell. There really needs to be some really deep cleaning done. And probably the worst of it all is that all of the linen were in totes Along the walls in the hallway. It was just not a well kept space. The perks however, are that the community is walkable. You can get good dining options and shopping options and it’s not far From a waterway that has other dining options, as well.

I thought that I had pre-registered my details on the Sonder app. I hadn't completed it fully before my arrival, as a condequence, I never received the email with access codes to get into the building and with no reception or staff on site that was an issue! I managed to resolve this after about an hour and was pleasantly surprised by the appartment, which was spacious and clean, perfect for a couple, however it would start to feel quite cosy for 4 adults. Great location for shops restuarants and bars. Would I stay there again - yes!

This is a really fun location right on King street. Highly recommend. The room is like an efficiency apartment, very cool.
We just used the fridge but there is cookware and glass cups. It is a homey kind of feel. We used the dishes and used the sink for daily washing.
This apartment is right in the middle of a busy street. So it is pretty lively until after midnight. Just know that going in. I loved it, some may not.
OK Sonder the booking experience. I have read reddit reviews. This is a model where there is no front desk.
So, it is very critical that you read the check in e-mail very carefully. Do your check in as soon as you book your room. I cannot stress this enough.
check in requires uploads and verifications. Once complete you will get a conformation e-mail.
Two days prior to our visit we received our door codes.
For us everything went very smoothly.
Love the location, super fun town center. Very easy to the National Mall - 15 minutes MAX. We did 4 museums in 3 days and still had time to got out in the evening on King street.
Murphy Irish pub is basically right next door. Super fun with live music great Irish pub fare and super convienent.
I parked at 418 Cameron St - Tavern Sq. Overnight parking - $11 during the week, $5 on the weekend.

We liked the location, shopping, restaurants, public transportation. Kitchen area was great. Bathroom was a great size. Bathroom door was a slider but didn’t always stay shut.

This properly is in a great location. It is clean and spacious and it has a nice kitchen.
There are lots of dining and shopping options nearby. There is a free trolley that runs up and down King Street. We woul definitely stay here again.

We went during spring break. We had not stayed at a property like this before but we were pleasantly surprised. Check in was seamless. You could tell people were about but the halls and rooms were quiet. A white noise machine and earbuds were provided since it is in a busy area -- we didn't need them) When you step outside, King street is at your feet with loads of options. Kitchenette was great for snacks and light breakfast (we mostly made use of the mini fridge and glassware) Great location and value. Would book again.

It was clean and the bed was comfortable. Location was fabulous and I loved being able to check in and out remotely and independently. There were areas that seemed simple to make better in the room - for example, nowhere to put my toiletries in the shower, no toilet seat cover, very limited space to hang anything, I had to dig under the bed to find a way to plug in my phone, the area rug was all sideways and crooked which felt unkempt. The room and building were very old which I guess is to be expected in this area. Room felt pretty dark. There is a full kitchenette yet nowhere to sit - I could bake a cake but would need to sit on the bed to eat it! It was quite noisy between the airplanes flying low overhead, the other guest rooms water pipes, and the in room rattly hvac but they did leave earplugs which was thoughtful. All in all it got the job done but I think I expected something a little brighter and fresher.

Great efficiency apartment with refrigerator, cooking convection stove. Very easy check-in. Only problem is water not flushing well in the toilet. Otherwise excellent property.

I wanted to give this stay a better review but the toilet issue tarnished my experience. I support low flow toilets but the toilet in this studio was incredibly difficult and annoying to use. Otherwise the studio has everything you need for a comfortable stay. A bit small if you have large luggage.
3.0 / 10.0
Immaculate as always. These was nothing indicating that this was an accessible room; that wasn't actually the direct issue. The direct issue was that there was neither a desk/work table nor a work chair. I was forced to sit on a window sill with my computer balanced on a pillow on the seat of the only (lounge) chair. The bedside lamp and the track lights both flickered constantly whenever they were on. And the coffee machine either didn't work or I couldn't figure out how to make it work.

Cute and comfortable room, easy to get in, nice kitchen. The hvac is very loud with the vent over the bed blasting all night. The hallway strongly smelled like a sewer, luckily that didn’t permeate into the room.

Great location for accessing DC. Near public transit and plenty of shops around for food and other goods. Room was clean and the heater worked well. Nice bathroom. I wasn’t too bothered by the urban noise although my stay was during the week not the weekend. Typical sounds for a city. Bed was comfortable. Would stay here again!
6.0 / 10.0
Nice place, but much smaller than pictures portray. Mushy foam bed. One small chair about 12 inches off the floor. No comfortable seating. Range hood sticks out so far, be careful not to hit your head. If you’re 6 foot tall, avoid it. Can’t beat the great location

I love the location, it is in the most popular block of Old Town.
Parking is a little bit trouble, but manageable.

This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. There were no lights in the room and no staff available for nearly 72 hours from the time I reported it to fix the issue. I was lied to every time I spoke to the customer service through the required app, who assured me the lights would be fixed, only for nobody to ever show up. I will never stay at another Sonder location, so the $50 Sonder credit per day without power they offered to resolve the issue does nothing for me. I have been an excellent customer at Expedia, and I never have had occasion to complain, but this is unacceptable.

Great location. Enjoyed having a little kitchenette to use. The property also a nice little courtyard area. Most amenities were excellent (including quality soap/shampoo products); main downside was lack of secure luggage storage for those hours after checkout & before it’s time to head to the airport.

So easy to use! Everything was online from reservation to check out. No key cards to mess with. It was beautiful place to stay and the neighborhood was simply amazing. I was there for work and am already planning a personal trip back!

Liked cleanliness, modern feel, in the middle of alot of shopping and dining, great air conditioning
Disliked no dresser to store clothes, bed is a glorified peice of foam on the floor basically, coffee table too large for space, bar sink in kitchen, no oven

Great location - near restaurants, shopping, and tourist activities. Easy to check in. Room was excellent. Towels were thin, but that is my only negative! I'd stay here again or at any of the other Sonders.

Great location, cute little studio. Some reviews said it was noisy but we stayed on a busy weekend and didn’t hear much noise at all. The only hiccup we had was upon checkin - we booked through hotels.com and we didn’t receive checkin instructions until we got there and had to call which was a little frustrating.

Is good place, but the street noise from King st is loud. The windows are old and do little to prevent noise from outside. ear plugs are provided but still get woken up by bar people in the middle of night and garbage truck in morning. Main disappointment was their lack to accommodate a 3 pm check in vs 4 pm. We waited in the courtyard and enjoyed for 30 minutes but they were insisting us paying $50 to check in at 3 pm. Please just accommodate your guests reasonable requests and do not try to nickel and dime people. People hate that.

Lovely place. Trash collection was early and seemed endless on Saturday morning. There were
Cacophonous construction workers doing demo work next door and it began at 6 am.
I would return again because the price was good in comparison to nearby hotels. The construction work and endless trash collection was disruptive. The heated bathroom floor was fantastic as well as the shower. Little fridge and a stovetop, electric kettle and coffee pot along with full set of dishes pots and cutlery were unexpected. I ran the dishwasher before leaving and left it all tidy. I’d ask ahead about construction and ask for a rear facing room.

The closet only had one coat hanger. This was a real inconvenience, as I had to drape clothes over the furniture.
The bed cover was too warm without leaving a window open to the cold, or running the AC at night. Would prefer an in-between blanket option.
