Sonder Battery Park

We really enjoyed our stay at Sonder Battery Park recently. The location is very convenient - 10-15 mins to 9/11 museum, World Trade Center, and Statue of Liberty cruise. Several subway stops nearby can get you anywhere else you'd like to go. Plenty of food and coffee options nearby, as well as a Whole Foods a few blocks away for some groceries. The apartment has plenty of space for our family of four, and the staff at the front desk were kind and customer focused. Loved it!

Loved this property and would stay here again in a heartbeat. It’s right near the subway. Easy walk to the ferry and the staff were amazing. Both myself and my husband both said it’s a lovely hidden gem that we were very lucky to have found. If you have kids, family or just a couple this is the place to stay. Plus the pizza just around the corner is to die for !!!!!

1. The Sonder corp. forced me into giving my biometrics. They refused to give me entry information unless I gave the information and they refused to refund me if I cancelled, even though it was a week before the reservation. 2. The property was supposed to sleep 4, but the pull out bed was not usable. We had to put the mattress on the floor and due to the thin mattress it was essentially like a camping mat. Not what we paid for! 3. Noise! The air blower was without exaggeration so loud we had to turn it off and be without heat. It sounded like a turbine. The location of the property is also by a major Tunnel entrance so there was the sound of people hitting a metal plate as they entered the tunnel…all night long! I’m from NY and I’m used to sound, but this was beyond anything I have ever experienced! The floor also vibrated all night long. 4. No USB connections, most outlets only had a single usable outlet. 5. Spare furnishings, no rugs, limited wall coverings. Cold, noisy and uncomfortable. Terrible for nearly 3k. You may wonder if we sought help to remedy this. The “attendant” said, “there is nothing I can do”. Sonder stole my biometric information and ruined an important family trip. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Air conditioning was noisy. Pool facilities were always full of families with small children, with limited seating anyway, but good view for Staten Island Ferry :-). Good location for downtown.

Nice studio apartment with loads of kitchen space. Check-in online was easy. Space was clean and comfortable. Just enough room for our family of 4. Paid parking is available just north of the hotel.

Overall this is a well-kept building, the pool/roof-top deck was spacious and beautiful, overlooking battery park and the water, with 1-2 lifeguards present. Front desk staff, John and Chanai, were very frindly and helpful with navigation and recommendations. Two bedroom corner apartment was spacious, well appointed and met all of our needs for a 4 day family trip with kids. Across atreet is battery park with a playground, carousel and port to visit statue of liberty/Ellis Island. Even though downtown, subway stations 1-2 minute walk. 2 parking garages within a minute walk, too.
