Reviews
The past reviews are all over the place and after staying here Sunday- Wednesday here is the scoop. (Ps use to live in Philly for context)
1. It’s in center city PHILLY. Either you understand that or you don’t. Bars, restaurants, lights, and noise is apart of everyday/every-hour life. The city is urban in every way. If you don’t want an urban setting for all it’s good and bad then don’t stay in Philadelphia. You can stay in the suburbs or Jersey. But besides that you can also request an interior room to reduce noise from the street. I personally had no issues.
2. It’s an apartment not a full service hotel. It was clean, comfortable, and worked well for me working remote. Again understand what you signed up for up for. I rock with it
3. Convenient- location is easy to get to using metro or just walking. If you come to enjoy the city and have a place to chill then it’s a go. No car needed.
4. Safety- no concerns here. It’s on a small one way street and in a prime center city location. Again it’s an urban environment so no you can’t just be blind to your surroundings but definitely not a bad area of the city. Those people who commented on safety should not be staying in the city if that is the case.
Long story short… if you actually like Philly and want a clean place to put your stuff and sleep/ work if remote then this is a go. I’ll be staying here again.
Absolutely fantastic stay. Beautiful and quiet studio in the heart of Philly, with every convenience including full kitchen and washer/dryer. This is a no service facility so my 5 stars there relate to how well the room was prepared. The code entrance to the building and room worked great. My studio 1117 was pristine and clean and had everything one needs for a truly comfortable and delightful stay. 2 blocks from city call so location was perfect. Fantastic value for money. I cannot praise the Sonder highly enough and look forward to staying here every time I come to Philly. It was a Ritz experience at Holiday Inn prices.
Great location- walking distance to great food and sites within the city. Room as described, clean and comfortable. The temperature of the room was easy to adjust as needed, the appliances were a great addition to make food and to clean our clothes before we headed back home. The great location also comes with some outside noise as this is in the heart of the city but white noise machine is provided as well as ear plugs should you need them. Staff were great and we will definitely be back.
The location is excellent - center of town and a short walk to restaurants and tourist sites. But like all major city centers there were a few homeless around. (We didn't have any issues with this.) ||We had a large 1 bedroom and it was …
This is the first time we are staying at the Sonder on 130 Juniper Street. |3 people, 1 bedroom and a pullout sofa bed. |If you expect hotel kind of service, this might not be for you.|If you expect an apartment, then this is better.||- …
What a beautiful building and a perfect location right in the heart of Philadelphia. The apartment was perfect in every way, beautifully decorated, fully equipped, and with a bed that provided a great night's sleep. The staff that I …
It's fine if you know what to expect. Probably won't use again, but it'll do in a pinch. It's a place to sleep.
Pros:
1. Downtown location, many things are within walking distance.
2. Lodging is fine, comes with fridge oven/stove etc.
3. Provides earplugs/white noise machine to combat noise (see below).
4. The *room price* (see below) is reasonable.
Cons:
1. Lax security. No one in the lobby overnight. Front doors are locked by code but people routinely let folks in off the street assuming they're also staying there.
2. Rude front desk staff, rolled their eyes when trying to check in and replied "well did ya download the app??". I had.
3. Not a very safe part of town and the entry is in an alleyway. Recommend traveling in a group. Only yelled at by a crazy guy once, but it's downtown Philadelphia.
4. Loud nights, even on a Monday/Tuesday. Expect to hear shouting/hollering, honking, and nearby clubs/bars very clearly. Use the earplugs or bring your own. It was manageable, not terrible.
5. Surprise $150 cleaning fee for a two-night stay. Whatever you buy a room for, know it's going to be with an extra 10-20% on top for standard taxes/fees and another at least $150 on top of that that will be charged after you leave.
The building that this hotel is in is very nice. The front desk staff are all very nice. The room could use a dresser and a taller bed. The sheets would not stay on the mattress. The kitchen are is very nice and well stocked. The bathroom was very nice as well. The hotel is close to many of the historic sites because it's in the center of the city. The street itself is a bit run down with lots of homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk.
