I really liked the keyless code for entry to the building and my unit. The building was an older building with lots of character, but I felt safe and the food options were amazing!

Cute loft in the heart of Alexandria
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.

I had no problems with this being a self service property. I felt safe at all times and the space was clean and stylish. The location and price were excellent.
The public areas on the upper floors could use a little refresh (carpet and paint) and the room could have used a bath mat and a hand towel but those are my only quibbles. Would definitely stay again.

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!

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.

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.

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. 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.

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!

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.

Be Prepared!
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!

Great location, cute studio
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.
