Convenient location-close to Rideau canal for skating, Sparks St, Parliament bldgs, Byward market, etc. Clean and comfortable unit. Wobbly table was a little annoying. Constant fan noise from bathroom and heating unit was noisy. Earplugs were provided but ineffective. Inconvenient to not have on site parking Overall a nice place to stay

Our stay was wonderful, the kitchen and the appliances came in handy and even though we booked the smaller room, it was still very spacious. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. We noticed a small tear in the sheets but not a big deal, the bed was comfortable and we had a good night’s rest. The only thing is that the walls are very thin, but I think they realized this because we were provided with some ear plugs by our bedside table. The free luggage lockers were very thoughtful and we appreciated this as this allowed us to store our luggage while we went exploring the town before catching the train home, may I mention, AFTER we checked out too. We also loved the foosball table in the game room. The app made it so easy to check in, ask questions, and check out. We’ll definitely stay here again, and look forward to staying at other Sonder properties in the future!

The staff on site were extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating but i also liked that through the app, i had the option and convenience of doing most things on my own (check in/out, etc.) but having a staffed desk added a layer of security and piece of mind to the property and overall experience. luggage storage lockers were great and extra amenity rooms were modern and clean.

Very clean. The junior suite was small but had everything I needed for my stay. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with place settings for six, a fridge and oven and even a small dishwasher. I like the mobile key in the app - no keys to lose. There are lockers to store your baggage after you check out, which is very convenient. Walking distance to Parliament, the Roger’s Centre, the Rideau Canal and many other attractions.

Happy enough

Very Clean and well stocked. Issues with the TV were a pain. You can't just turn it on and get access to programming. You need to cycle through the HDMI inputs to make it work. Even after the IT dept came to my room and said they had fixed it I still had to do it after they left. This issue needs to be fixed asap as most people don't understand how to get this to happen. I also got locked in the parking garage when my door code stopped working. There is no number to call so luckily i was communicating via text and they gave me a new code. There is no emergency exit which is disturbing. The staff were excellent though.

Highly recommend

We really enjoyed our stay at Sonder Arlo. It’s very well located, close to restaurants, bars, shops and sights. The apartment was spacious, quiet, clean and beautifully furnished. Having a kitchen was very nice, even for a short stay. Easy, contactless check in and out using the Sonder app. We requested an extra blanket at the front desk, the staff was so nice and promptly sent someone with a blanket. The apartment heating could have been better and we thought some basic things like body lotion, additional hooks for winter coats and towels were lacking, but overall it was excellent. Next time if during winter, I’d request that they heat the room before arrival and include slippers. We really appreciated getting a free upgrade prior to arrival and I’d definitely stay here again.
