Sonder Duane Street - Hotel in New York - 130 Duane St, USA

As stated in many reviews, this is an apartment style accommodation rather than a true hotel. There is no breakfast, fresh coffee, daily housekeeping, 24hr attendant, etc. Other than that, the room and lobby were fine. It was safe and this location (Duane St) was wonderful for exploring Manhattan.

The property has a modern and nice design. The room is in all respects faithful to the photographs on the website: not very large but well furnished and equipped with everything (there are also iron and board, and a large screen with all the main streaming services). I appreciated that there was parquet flooring in the room, definitely preferable to the unhygienic carpeting. The staff is friendly and helpful; the app useful and functional. Drinks always available to guests (water, tea, coffee, chocolate) and umbrellas in free use. |I personally agree with the decision not to clean the room daily unless requested, so as to keep costs down and avoid wasting water and energy.|The only negative thing I found was the somewhat noisy heating. Also, the shower (which was nice and large) was dripping slightly. I didn't think this was a big problem, however, and in fact I didn't even inform the help desk about it (maybe if I had reported it they would have fixed it).

Stayed at Sonder Duane Street for 5 nights over New Year 23/24. Absolutely loved the place. We had a great corner room on the third floor. The room and facilities were great. Location is amazing. Chamber Street subway is just up the street, Brooklyn Bridge 10 minute wall away. Loads of great bars and restaurants in the area. Would highly recommend.

I love this place. The staff were fabulous. The market one block away was awesome and I got some hyacinth there and put them in the room for my one week stay and just loved it. This is a smallish off-brand hotel. The room was just right for one person. A few little glitches, the elevator got caught, they fixed it within 2 hours; the smoke alarm went off after I took a long hot shower; they fixed it right away; the temperature thingy on the wall that regulates temp did not work but they were on it. I loved it all anyway. A real place with real people. Amazing location for my work. Got a week pass at Crunch Gym couple of blocks away. I'll go back to the Sonder for my next trip to NYC.

I am not sure what I think about this Hotel as it feels more like an AirBnB and not a classic hotel. Reception is only staffed until 10 pm. You can get all the ammenities you need like toilet paper, shower gel, shampoo etc in the lobby in a storage closet. |the rooms are spacious yet didn´t feel very clean. The bathroom tiles had heavy stains on them and the drain in the sink was clocked (room sevice should have noticed that prior to my arrival) |the room will not be cleaned during your stay. while you have enough fresh towels a short sweep through at least every 2 to 3 days would have been nice. |The area of the hotel is good and conveniently located. I didn´t like that you couldn´t open the window at all. sometimes you need fresh air. I understand that they are scared of people jumping out but you can block the window so it only opens a tiny bit. |the aircon was hard to handle and no matter which temperature I set it to it remained the same. ||You can´t beat the price but I think my next stay in NY will def. be in a proper hotel with all the hotel ammenities.

Very nice hotel, room was clean and large for a NY hotel. Hard wood floor which is nice and bathroom was good size too. Very quiet and couldn’t hear noise from street or other rooms. Very close to some of the best restaurants and subway 1 block away too. Very friendly staff and helpful. Great stay overall!

This was our first time staying at Sonder and it was great! The rooms were comfortable and clean and the front desk staff was super friendly and accommodating. We’ll be back!

Incredible place at an amazing price. Excellent gym! Great location with lots of cafes in the neighborhood and super nice staff in the building. Our room was bright and clean. We had no complaints during our stay. Would love to come back here.
