โ1. Extra Charges for towels
I stayed at Sonder Atelier for five nights and it was the worst lodging experience. Upon check-in, I was given four towels, and when I asked for fresh ones during my stay, I was charged an additional โฌ5. Even requesting room cleaning incurs an extra charge of โฌ20โ30. (There was no discounts at all for 5 nights stay.)
I cannot understand why I was charged extra during a five-night stay when a one-night stay includes the same amenitiesโa clean room and towelsโwithout...
โOur stay was so comfortable and memorable, highly recommend this spot if you are staying in Milan and plan to walk around the city! We were traveling with our infant and the staff were super accommodating - we will definitely be back!โ
โViaggio a Milano in occasione di una laurea. Scelta casuale, soprattutto per la zoan, vicina a dove si svolgeva l'evento. Molto soddisfatto dell'accoglienza, e dell'appartamento. Ritornerei a utilizzare l'appartamento se necessario.โ
โI was so satisfied to stay there. Reception was super kind and nice. Also keep checking the status. Amazing service.
The room condition was perfect. I didnโt expect that warm with this cold weather but very warm and cozy. I could sleep very well.
The location is just 2 min from Duomol and inside shopping mall but I didnโt hear any noise.
I definitely stay here again! โ
โgood: local experience (a room in apartment, separate bathroom & shared kitchen), location (close to center)
bad: noisy... we took the room close to the lift, and the alert sound kept us surprised at night. no cleaning service for 3 nights (towels not changed)โ

I cannot understand why I was charged extra during a five-night stay when a one-night stay includes the same amenitiesโa clean room and towelsโwithout extra cost. None of these charges were clearly mentioned on the booking page, and a staff member even played word games when I questioned this. I honestly find this borderline fraudulent.
2. Luggage Storage Impossible
Luggage storage is nearly impossible. There is no staff consistently present at reception, so guests are forced to use a coin locker system. After checking out at 8:00 AM, I went to store my luggage but found that all lockers were already occupied. I had to wait around until a staff member finally showed up, and this delay disrupted my travel plans.
3. Poor Gym Maintenance
The gym was extremely disappointing. It was dusty and clearly not maintained properly. It looked nothing like the photos on the website.
4. Unreliable Communication
All communication should be done through the Sonder app. Responding staff member keeps changing, so the answers are inconsistent and confusing. Itโs frustrating and inefficient, especially youโre trying to resolve a problem. "
