Sonder Battery Park

Loved this property and would stay here again in a heartbeat. It’s right near the subway. Easy walk to the ferry and the staff were amazing. Both myself and my husband both said it’s a lovely hidden gem that we were very lucky to have found. If you have kids, family or just a couple this is the place to stay. Plus the pizza just around the corner is to die for !!!!!

We stayed here for 2 weeks, and overall it was a really pleasant experience. The area is fantastic for those who want access to a ton of subway lines in close proximity to the hotel, as well as some quick food options that are just as close (Starbucks, chipotle, deli, etc). There were a few downsides which made the experience living here a little less convenient. On 3 separate occasions the code and virtual key to open our room door would not work and so we needed to go the the front desk to get someone to unlock our door. Not the end of the world, but pretty inconvenient when you live on the 14th floor. The other thing that was a little disappointing was the fact that a lot of the dishes were dirty at the time we checked in, as well as the fact that the lid for the puck detergent on the dishwasher was broken at the time of check in as well. The side for liquid soap still worked but it was disappointing that we couldn’t use the provided detergent pods. A lot of the complimentary cleaning supplies were also low at the time of check in. Other than that, I would recommend the Sonder for anyone looking for an affordable option in a great part of Manhattan for a long-term stay.

Hotel is really good and no resort fees which can be hard to find in New York! However the staff didn’t greet us once with a simple “good morning” or “hello” when entering or exiting the building they were just sat around talking to each other but it wasn’t personally a big deal for us. Also i think the security of the building could’ve been improved because anyone could walk straight into the lobby and right up the elevators and straight to your hotel door without needing a room key or passcode which I thought wasn’t very safe. And the staff at the front desk weren’t exactly looking to check who was coming in and out of the building either. Gym was also on the smaller side which wasn’t a massive deal but could’ve been improved because no more than 6 people could be in there at once. If you use the Sonder app the customer service live chat is amazing and really easy to use. Overall 8/10.

I had a memorable experience at this hotel. Never forget! There was a noisy guest next to my room who played music loudly until 2 AM. This actually helped me sleep well on the airplane on my way back home. Thanks. The hotel didn’t offer even standard amenities such as a toothbrush, ice, broadcast, slippers, and so on, even though they provided a nice full-size kitchen( which may not be necessary for traveler). Overall, this hotel reminded me that there’s no place like home and highlighted the importance of booking an expensive hotel for stress-free travel. I was able to learn a lot in this hotel.

Everything was great. We paid 30$ for early check in at 2 pm. The room was ready and clean when we arrived. They did run out of some essentials over the Christmas holiday. ie- toilet paper and large trash bags for the in room trash can.

We loved this place! The location is good and some metro stations are close by foot, the staff is super kind and very helpful if you need anything, the unity was really clean, spacious and in very good condition. Definitely we will book here again!

Good facility and good people. But the construction noise outside while I was staying at night was horrible. Yes, it’s manhattan, New York City. One more problem. Too much dependent on email I should have received from them and which I hid not. I was unable to unlock my room door or my room TV. Technology must be trusted with some caution.
