Great Stay
We had an excellent stay at Sonder the Merchant. It's brand new with beautiful gold fixtures in the bathroom, and we especially loved the location in the Lower East Side. We would definitely consider staying here again on our next NYC trip.

Highly recommend
We absolutely loved our stay at Sonder The Merchant! The hotel was fresh, clean, and beautifully designed. The location is perfect. It’s located on a cozy, quiet (but full with character) street in the Lower East Side, with great restaurants and shops nearby.
We had a room on the 10th floor with amazing view over Manhattan.
Service was also excellent — friendly and responsive. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Fantastic hotel in vibrant neighborhood
The Sonder is a beautifully designed hotel, nestled into one of the coolest neighborhoods of Manhattan.Upon entering the lobby, there is a small cafe with excellent coffee and pastries. Our room was located on the 5th floor and much more spacious than the average hotel room in NY, and equipped with a nespresso machine and electric kettle which was appreciated.
The best part though were our beds which were heavenly. From the comforter to the mattress it was pure bliss. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. We are already looking forward to be coming back.
