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.

It was a quiet building and it was only a few minute walk to Rideau centre and parliament building. Close to public transit if you want to go elsewhere. Overall I thought the experience was fantastic.

Great experience with the self-check in and phone access for the room once I got things set up. Individual at the front desk didn’t acknowledge us as we came in carrying bags, but I was able to figure things out from the app and let them continue their phone call. Room was nice, just what I was expecting. Traffic noise is present but understandable given it is right on Albert. They’ll even throw in earplugs if you need them.
