We stayed at a two bedroom apartment. The kitchen had everything we needed to get started for our stay. Place was clean and comfortable. It was within walking distance of old town and new town. There were tram and bus stations everywhere. We did not need a rental car. The only complaint our beds were very stiff. There was a front desk with a manager when we arrived in the afternoon. The office is closed in the evening. Make sure your reservation is complete before arriving. Uploading ID documentation is very important. Great stay, beautiful gardens behind the hotel. Would stay again.

Great apartment stay in Edinburgh
Staff was very helpful and friendly. Clean and well appointed rooms. Easy walk to major tourist stops but with a more neighborhood feel.

8/10 Very Good

The staff was amazing and checking in was very easy and pleasant The property was really lovely and located in best area of Edinburgh. The apartment was very spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The only negative was that there were no windows and because it was in the basement, the apartment required to be equipped with air vents and circulation which was very noisy and it could not be turned down and the sleep was disturbed. Overall it was very nice and large apartment in great location.

On a 2 week Euro-trip, this was my fav stay. The staff was friendly, the place was easy to navigate. No issues with any outlets or appliances. Shopping & food was closeby - we didn't use transit once just because it was THAT walkable. Will def be coming back the next time I come to Edinburgh. Will also look into other Sonder properties when traveling!

4/10 Fair

Great location but poor quality
Great location and space but poor standard for the price point. We had a two bed apartment for a family of four (two adults and two children) and were impressed by the information and process pre-arrival and on the app. Didn’t really need service during our stay but staff were friendly. However, the finish, maintenance and quality of the building and apartment was very poor considering the price point and that it only opened last year. For example, a piece of the sash window came off (it wasn’t fully tightened) when we opened the window (almost hitting my little one), the panels on the radiators kept falling off, the dishwasher could only open a quarter of the way (!) because of the skirting board positioning, the shower wouldn’t drain properly, skirting boards were coming away from the wall at many places. Beds and pillows were uncomfortable. And WiFi connection was almost non-existent.

Staying at a location like this really made a once in a lifetime trip even more special. Clean. Tastefully decorated. Came with all of the amenities you can need—and the location was so nice. Managing to be nestled between old town and new town—a quiet space overlooking a gorgeous garden. Close to shops and some incredible dining—and truly steps away from public transit. The staff were always friendly and engaging and prompt in assisting with any of our needs. We will absolutely keep Sonder on our radar for any of our future travels no matter the location. The attention to detail and friendly service goes such a long way.

Lovely apartment
We had a great stay! The only critical thing I have to say is that there isn’t complimentary room cleaning or turn down service, hey charge an extra fee for that if you want it. Otherwise our stay was lovely, the facility was very nice, and the people at the front desk were extremely kind and helpful! It was pretty centrally located and had amenities that we enjoyed. Overall we would stay here again!
