It was right in the heart of center city...close to everything you needed and wanted to see. Room was clean. The only problem i had was the elevator broke one evening. The sonder chat person could not tell me where there was another way up to my room. Eventually another guest who couldn't get to their room found the emergency exit door but our codes wouldn't work. Finally with help from some random passerby we got the door open!! The elevator was working in the morning. Other than that it was a great stay...id still give it a 4.9 outta 5

This is my second stay and overall it is nice, but I saw an earwig plus I woke up with some big bites so it seems like there may be some type of bug in the room.

8/10 Very Good

the contemporary layout and design of this space was so beautiful and put us in an entirely different environment. its true about the noise from the busy streets and late nights, but that's to be expected in the lively vicinity that Arco by Sonders lies. the surrounding shops, bars, and restaurants allow traveling folks a downtown Philadelphia experience. The bus lines and subways allow simple travel to basically get anywhere you need or want to go throughout the city. although they claim to have storage lockers available, they are super limited and get occupied early in the morning.

8/10 Very Good

It was a great location -- very walkable to sites, bars and restaurants, and the subway was right outside the door. The design of the room was nice -- modern and well done. The finishes weren't super nice -- for example there were small issues like a leak in the ceiling in the bathroom, the sink leaked and there was no stopper for the sink either. That said, it was a nice building - especially for the price -- and I'd gladly stay there again.

I love the self-check in and easy communication/modifications that can be done on the Sonder app. The staff in the building were incredibly helpful when I arrived and looked a little confused- they directed me everywhere I needed to go and helped me check in earlier which was a plus. I have already recommended this location to a few friends and would absolutely stay again! Beautiful, spacious room and conveniently located in center city so very walkable to all points of interest and close to local train
