Sonder Camden Road

The property provides great value for money in London, conveniently located near public transportation, Camden Market, and dining options. The area feels safe and offers easy access to the city center.

This hotel is the worst I have ever stayed at for Traffic noise and you will hardly get any sleep. I travel all over the country staying in various hotels and B&B and so I always try to be accurate in my description. Good Points.. The hotel is around a 2 min walk from the nearest Bus stop and 15 min from Camden tube station so getting to and from the city centre is easy. Our room was in the basement and was large, warm and had a T.V. , free safe to use, tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryer, and free WI-FI. You could also restock tea bags, coffee and toilet rolls from reception. Plenty of hot water in the bathroom and free toiletries to use. Bad Points... The main issue was lack of sleep, our room was directly outside a busy crossroads and traffic noise was constant from around 6am to 3am the next morning. The double glazed windows did nothing to quieten the sounds of engines, roaring of motorbikes or noise of buses which sounded like it was actually inside the room. WE had to try and sleep with pillows over our heads to muffle it out and you did get some uninterrupted sleep of around 3hrs which was usually between 3 -6 am. I have never experienced the noise or lack of sleep like this from any hotel before. If a hotel is on a very busy main road then at least have windows that do their job and lessen the sound considerably. I understand that some noise should be expected but not as if you were actually sleeping outside!!! There are rooms on the other side from the hotel so maybe these would have been ok. The only other thing was the size of the shower, it was around 2ft square and so you couldn't turn round in it without banging your elbows and other bodily parts against the sides. This hotel would actually have been a great stay if we had been able to sleep which is the main function of a hotel room and due to this I would never return.

My friend and I stayed here after going to a gig at The Forge. Great location and amazingly quiet - brilliant double glazing. The decor was gorgeous and the bed was super comfy. You can keep your luggage in a locker after checking out which was super handy. The only downer was no bedside lamp or dimmer so we were stuck with bright spotlights once we returned from our night out. Looking at the website, most rooms do have one so I’m sure it was just an oversight. I’d definitely stay again.
