We mostly enjoyed our recent stay with Sonder in Mexico City. The bed was very comfortable, the room design was modern and thoughtful, it was clean, the filtered water in the lobby was a great resource, 24-hr security was a super plus and it was in an incredible location. Tons of wonderful parks, shops and restaurants nearby and very accessible to museums either walking or by car.
Unfortunately there were some drawbacks that would disuade us from staying again in the future. First, the hardware in the bathroom was not installed well and kept wiggling around causing TP and soap to fall off their holders. The shower door didn’t close all the way so you’d have to wedge something in between the glass to avoid soaking the bathroom floor. Secondly, despite the two standing fans available, the room gets very hot and the window couldn’t be left open as it lead directly into a hallway. It was particularly hot after taking a shower and the entire room would fill up with hot steam. There’s no ventilation besides the window so if you showered in the am and returned hours later it would still be very hot and muggy. We stayed in October so I can only imagine how hot it gets mid-summer. With all the added Airbnb costs, I didn’t feel this was a value find considering the drawbacks.
