The Beverley Hotel Queen West, Sonder

Best thing about the room was the Nespresso machine. Otherwise very small but clean.

There is no reception. Everything is online. This was not clear when booked. Access is either via a set of stairs or an ancient, very confined and exceptionally slow elevator which is accessed via the cafe on the ground floor. There are no keys. Your room is accessed by a key-code punched into the door lock. Again this is accessed online. The same code is required for access to the building when the cafe is closed and the door at each level. The room we had was small. No cats were harmed as there was not room to swing one. We had a window onto the graffiti covered fire escape. As there was no room safe this added to our security worries. The sink is in the main room and has no plug. It refused to drain until I used the palm of my hand, plunger like, to create a clearing suction. This was not a singular occurance. Towels are hung on a rack above the toilet, so if you neglected to put the seat fully down there was a danger of your towel dropping in the pan. Quite a thing as the room was not serviced once in our 4 night stay. The bottom sheet was marked. Thankfully it was warm and we could sleep on the top sheet with the duvet as a cover. The toilet itself is behind a glass panel and sliding door that does not fully cover the gap. So you had better be comfortable watching and listening to your other half having a poo. There was no chair in our room so I ended up sitting on the loo with the seat down. You can hear what is going on in all the rooms around you. The shower is good and powerful but there is no extraction, so the condensation and humidity goes into the room. I was not in any of the other rooms on the floor, but I suspect from the building layout that most do not have a window. The mattress was comfortable enough but the pillows were soft to non-existent. The location is excellent but there are proper hotels nearby with full facilities for not a lot more.

Awesome spot, super convenient location, so many things to do and see around the location

The location was very central ! The amenities were lacking - no extra toilet paper - not very clean. Overall - it served its purpose.

The space is nice with a large bathroom and shower. Comfortable bed. Two suggestions for improvement: 1) the faucet in the bathroom sink flows with a dribble… very little pressure. Shower is fine. 2) the flatscreen TV is both non functional and a hazard for banging your head at night. Suggest moving or removing completely. Otherwise, we found unit 41 comfortable and good value with 4th floor view of Queen St. W.

I love Sonder, but this one is different I absolutely love Sonder and have stayed at multiple locations. This Sonder was very different from the others. The room had been poorly cared for over the years. My room also had the strongest smell of bleach throughout my stay. Also, I extended my checkout by a hour and room service still came to my door and demanded proof. My assigned room was also facing, Queen St, which is an extremely busy street with traffic and bars. I didn’t go to sleep until 2am. This place is a great option if you plan on partying and exploring Queen Street.
