Sonder The Magnolia

Excellent location. Easy check in arrangements. Bright and clean entrance. Clean and well appointed apartment. We appreciated the washing machine and the laundry tablets provided. Clean linen, comfortable bed, spacious apartment.

A drying rack for clothes, a safety deposit box in the room and more luggage storage would make this the perfect place to stay.

Pros - Right in the middle of Newbury Street with great shopping and restaurants right at your doorstep. Comfortable bed. Clean apartment. Kitchen well equipped with dishwasher, Washer dryer, microwave. Reliable internet. Spacious interior. Lift access to level 4. Cons - Very noisy at nighttime so difficult to sleep. No table to eat food so eat on bed or in the two lounge chairs on your lap. Needs some sort of bedside tables next to bed. The biggest concern was safety due to the fact that the lift is shared with Shake Shack. On two occasions we pressed the button to go down and when the lift opened there were men literally staring into the kitchen as the lift opens straight into your apartment (there is no door from the lift). On another occasion it appeared to be that a homeless lady had found her way into the lift and seemed surprised when my wife entered. We later saw her on several occasions living rough. There is something not quite right about the set up even though there is a security code to go to floor 4 that’s unique to the guest, it is not without the possibility of others entering which is a little scary. The final con was when we requested an early check-in for 2pm. We received notification at 3.45 that we could checking early. When we went to activate this, Sonder wanted to charge a significant amount for it. We felt this was opportunistic! If the place is ready why not show some good will like everywhere else does!

Loved it! Amazing location in the absolute heart of Boston. The disability room has its own elevator directly to our room. Perfect for us older adults. Close to everything!

Nothing

Apartment was beautiful. Every amenity, fully equipped kitchen, laundry if you needed it for a longer stay (we only did 2 nights). Extremely comfortable, even the sofa bed in the lounge. Location superb. No staff, hence low score, but Booking went so smoothly. This part of Boston is away from the waterfront, but very cool, chilled and sophisticated. And still walking dis tance to the water, and everything else, anyway. Couldn't recommend enough

Nothing at all

Fatigued, small, dated apartment.

The place was great, I would love to come back next year. My only issue which is at 9 am this morning, housekeeping came into my room while I was in my underwear sleeping in bed. Our check out time was at 11 am. It was quite embarrassing and not a fun way to wake up.

Comfortable, clean and perfect location

Third floor, no elevator. Could be an issue for some.

Comfortable, functional, and clean suite. While no reception and consierge on site, they have have a good chat option for questions and lockers to store luggage. Great area with lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and retail. The bedroom had a sound machine and sleep mask in case street noise and light becomes an issue.
