It's brand new with beautiful gold fixtures in the bathroom, and we especially loved the location in the Lower East Side. We would definitely consider staying here again on our next NYC trip. ##### Carissa Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Elena 31 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I booked a room for one king bed and to my shock me and my fina ##### Elena Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Moa 21 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommend We absolutely loved our stay at Sonder The Merchant! The hotel was fresh, clean, and beautifully designed. The location is perfect. It’s located on a cozy, quiet (but full with character) street in the Lower East Side, with great restaurants and shops nearby. We had a room on the 10th floor with amazing view over Manhattan. Service was also excellent — friendly and responsive. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again! ##### Moa Stayed 8 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Noor-Ul-Huda 7 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a mostly great stay at this hotel. The decor was beautiful, and the staff went above and beyond to make my husband’s birthday feel special, which we really appreciated. The bed was huge and very comfortable, and the balcony view of the city was stunning. That said, we could hear everything from the neighbouring rooms, and there were a few housekeeping issues — a dirty rag was left in the room, we weren’t given any soap, and someone entered despite the “Do Not Disturb” sign. Small things, but attention to detail matters. Overall, a stylish and comfortable stay with thoughtful service — just a few things that could be improved. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f5be7cb9-e971-4d8e-94cc-d7237ba5e301-1754563792540.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1915dd23-78d7-4ea8-acac-ae13950bf549-1754563792541.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/289c4c49-5f2a-44f9-add6-6eab6df3e61a-1754563792599.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Noor-Ul-Huda Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic hotel in vibrant neighborhood The Sonder is a beautifully designed hotel, nestled into one of the coolest neighborhoods of Manhattan.Upon entering the lobby, there is a small cafe with excellent coffee and pastries. Our room was located on the 5th floor and much more spacious than the average hotel room in NY, and equipped with a nespresso machine and electric kettle which was appreciated. The best part though were our beds which were heavenly. From the comforter to the mattress it was pure bliss. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. We are already looking forward to be coming back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anne 9 Jun 2025 The room was big and the bed was comfy! The coffee shop in the lobby was great - a great place to work. And the rooftop bar was cute. I like the area! However, we asked them to clean our room every day and they only did the last day. Getting more towels took forever. the hot water went out right when I needed to shower before an event. The gym was INSANELY hot like unbearable. ##### Anne Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Luis 31 Mar 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff was extremely unhelpful and rude.

Hotel totalmente novo, tudo impecável e de bom gosto. Chuveiro e cama excelentes, travesseiros, toalhas e roupas de cama de boa qualidade. O quarto tem um ótimo tamanho e muito funcional. As janelas grandes do chão ao teto dão uma sensação maior, super confortável. A recepção funciona 24hs e os funcionários são bastante atenciosos e solícitos. Tiveram um problema no prédio com a água quente no primeiro dia que foi resolvido em 2 ou 3 horas, mesmo assim se preocuparam em nos compensar pelo inconveniente de alguma forma. No nosso caso ganhamos o late checkout. Serviço de depósito de malas e recebimento de encomendas funcionaram super bem. Localização perfeita, na melhor rua do LES, na frente do Russ & Daughters, poucos passos do Katz, pertinho do Nolita e Soho. Caminhada tranquila para Little Italy e Chinatown. Metrô bem próximo, fácil acesso para qualquer lugar. Apenas 1 parada para Williamsburg, 2 paradas pro Brooklyn. Ficamos hospedados por 10 dias e voltaríamos com certeza! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 21 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Mysigt hotell, extra bonus för balkong med morgonsol där vi åt frukost med utsikt över takåsarna.
