The Prince Hotel Vauxhall Central London Riverside

There is no front desk, after going back to the listing I realized it was mentioned but I think it can definitely be clearer. You have to download the app ahead of time and manage the check in process. Location was great and close to main attractions. No AC just a fan. Room and bathroom were nice.

Good sized room, clean and tidy. No air conditioning and room got very warm, a fan was supplied but not that effective. Quite a busy location so could be noisy overnight as no double glazing. Couldn’t find any milk among the essential cupboard items. Overall suited us for our weekend trip as conveniently located to the Cenotaph area and the pub downstairs was excellent for food and drink.

Really friendly and helpful staff, they responded to my queries almost immediately! The room was good too, not a bad stay overall. However, this place is ideal for short term stays. Not so great for long term stays for the follow reasons: No fridge, no microwave, no dishes/cutlery, the room isn’t cleaned during stays (you would have to pay for that separately), no lifts which makes climbing up and down 5 million (I’m exaggerating) flights of stairs annoying after day 2. Great for short term stays of a few days and not ideal for longer periods of more than a week.

The property was very clean. It provided toiletries which was a great gesture. Unfortunately we were on the third floor and the stairs with luggage was a killer as there was no lift. Also the only water machine was on the first floor. Yea and coffee machine was in a cupboard but had to carry it out and setup as there was nowhere in the cupboard to plug in. Also there were mugs not cups provided and they were too tall to fit the machine. I would still definitely stay again as the room and bathroom were spotless and it is in a great location. The gastro pub next door was also great for food and atmosphere.

The location, condition and service at the Sonder are generally very good. My only complaint is the noise level. I was travelling for work, and the noise from the street as well as other units was very noticeable. Also, the hotel is above a pub/restaurant, and the music could be heard through the floor. It would have also been nice to have a small fridge in the room since there is no kitchen on premises. I did need some additional services while I was there (an adapter) and the staff helped me out right away.

This hotel is conveniently located, the room comfortable and modern, but the room has no desk and no air conditioning and staff was slow in responding (and in one instance not responding at all) to questions and providing the requested service

Great location, handy to public transport, and very well priced. The room had everything needed for our one night stay, and was clean and comfortable. As not staffed, entry instructions were sent in good time, and the process was smooth and felt secure. Would certainly use again if in the area.

The room was great, very clean. No issues getting in/out. The bed was firm but we slept fine, the pillows were uncomfortable. Maid service is optional for a fee. There is a TV w/Netflix capability, coffee maker, hairdryer, noise machine in the room (all helpful) and a community water dispenser (you’ll need a water bottle). No air conditioner but there is a fan and heater (we were comfortable). Everything extra we needed was in a closet for us to grab at our convenience (soap, TP, extra towels, etc). We were on the 3rd floor, it was 60 steps to get to our room, a lot of work with luggage, but doable. We got there 2 hrs early and were able to get into the building fine and put our things in storage. There are only 3 luggage lockers for the whole building and they could use more, some people who arrived after us were unable to store theirs. There is a nice pub/restaurant (Jolly Gardeners) just outside the building, great for lunch/dinner/drinks, the food was delicious. There is also a convenience store just outside the building with food, drinks and meds. There was restaurant (Queens Head) on the other corner, they were closed during our Christmas week stay, but looks like it would be good for breakfast. Instead, we had an amazing and inexpensive breakfast and at The Corner Cafe (5 min walk). We walked to London eye (15 ish minutes). The area looks a little rundown and we felt uneasy when walking the neighborhood but were told the area is safe. We would stay again.

Very easy to check in and access the property on arrival. Rooms were well equipped and spacious. Clean building with good facilities.

They provided earplugs, fan, and a sound machine (with dead batteries) as they know it's LOUD there. Train noise I can deal with. But it wasn't just the train and car noises. The Pub below. Every night there was yelling/ arguing/ talking loudly until 3am. Doors slamming all hours of the late night into early morning. TV volume was locked and couldn't hear TV over the people yelling outside at the pub. The shower door was really loud. The toilet should be replaced. The sink had a bad clog. Washing hands it would back up. We stayed for 5 days no service. Had the same sheets for 5 days. (We shower at night and wouldn't sit on the bed so it was okay) Not close to food or stores. There was the Pub and a convenience store. As for location Big Ben & The Eye was a 20 min walk. There's a bus that you can catch right out front but, for us it was easier to walk the 1/2 mile to Vauxhall station. The positive things I can think of 1) Water Dispenser 2) Coffee Maker 3) They did provide Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion. None of which I used but, they were there! 4) Provide a international converter.

Easy to access and the room was clean and comfortable.

A little noisy. Blocked sink unable to be fixed over a 5 night stay. Cold water tap runs hot. No air con. Room 14 right next to cleaners storage. Lots of banging and door slamming.

Lovely clean room, furnished minimally just like I like, comfortable bed , clean bathroom , hot water, nice towels and bedding , great location, the only thing for us was we had noisy neighbours the first night but would recommend this place and would stay again.

Room was beautiful and clean. Really good value for a London stay and right near where we needed to be. I will definitely use again.

Spotless clean, all toiletries provided. Large comfortable bed. Party at the pub downstairs noisy while midnight.

Hotel is right above a pub where people congregate outside shouting and laughing and just off quite a busy road so very noisy until very late and noisy again early morning when the rush starts. Room is spacious and has good amenities but was a bit dusty and not much care had gone into cleaning/maintenance.

I really liked this hotel the room was very nice and comfortable it has everything I needed. It was clean and pretty also pretty spacious We definitely recommend this hotel everything worked perfectly for us thank you!

room was excellente very clean quite and is in a nice area

Very easy to check in and access the property on arrival. Rooms were well equipped and spacious. Clean building with good facilities.

Nice place to stay, above a pub. So expect some noise. Clean and comfy

I was visiting to take part in an important work related assessment. I was woken each and every morning by trains, road works, and passing traffic. I had an idea when I saw ear plugs were provided that this was going to be an issue. You allude to it in your in room literature. I put the earplugs in every night but inevitably they would come out during the night, meaning that eventually I would be woken up by noise outside. The upshot of this was that I went into work feeling tired and by the third morning, completely washed out due to lack of sleep. Something needs to be done in respect of better windows to sound proof the room better. Pity, as I like the concept of Sonder, but I’m afraid this accommodation falls short.

I was missing an elevator, because our room was in the highest floor. While we were sleeping, some people were very noisy.

Good sized room, clean and tidy. No air conditioning and room got very warm, a fan was supplied but not that effective. Quite a busy location so could be noisy overnight as no double glazing. Couldn’t find any milk among the essential cupboard items.

The room was excessively hot and the provided fan did not help to alleviate the heat. Air conditioning is required

Stayed in Unit 3 23-26 June when temperatures in London were 24-29 °C, and the room was insufferably warm. There is a large fan, which goes some way to help, but the large windows start receiving the heat of the sun from dawn, and this heat is ‘baked in’ to the room for the rest of the day/night. The two large windows are the best part of 1.5 m tall, but only open to around 10 cm (presumably for safety/security reasons), and even then, I had to prop them open with the coffee mugs provided to keep them open. Location-wise for Westminster and Piccadilly etc., it is actually really handy, if a little noisy from the pub below. I’d consider returning, but not in the summer months - unless the temperature is guarantee to be below 20 °C at the very maximum!

This hotel is conveniently located, the room comfortable and modern, but the room has no desk and no air conditioning and staff was slow in responding (and in one instance not responding at all) to questions and providing the requested service

This isn’t a hotel in the traditional sense. The rooms are above a pub/restaurant and the entrance is down a lane. The room was basic but clean and the bed was comfortable. The en-suite was excellent and the room was very clean. As there wasn’t a reception I received a welcome call advising there was a cupboard where we could get extra supplies if required. The windows are only single glazed which meant the traffic noise was heard very clearly. Thankfully we didn’t get much noise from the pub below but we were staying midweek. The only real annoyance was the guy from the pub below parked his card in the lane leading to the entrance and this made it difficult to access, if you had luggage with you it would be almost impossible to get to the door without hitting off the car.

Very modern property, safe area, staff put a fan in our room after we requested it. Wpuld have given it a 5 had it had air con. The room was exrremely hot!

My main concern was the chicken process. Do you need to have a door code emailed to you, and you need to verify yourself before receiving it. This is all supposed to happen prior to arrival. It didn’t. So I was standing on the street in the evening Trying to make this happen. To be honest, I didn’t feel safe standing there.

Inside the building and the room is clean, updated the water dispenser is a plus, the service and maintenance respond quickly. Contrast with the exterior an alleyway with dumpster asides, one night we back to the hotel and a car parking made it difficult for us to pass

What I did not like was that I ended up being locked out of the property on several occasions because my code stopped working. One was at the middle of the night. I appreciate that there are no working staff but I believe there should have been a place we could take out rubbish/trash and also dispose of dirty/soiled towels rather than having to leave the towels in our room for the duration of our stay.

The location, condition and service at the Sonder are generally very good. My only complaint is the noise level.

I stayed in room no 18 which was at the attic. There is no heat insulation at the roof, window can not be open and the room is literally a heat trap. It was insanely hot, and when I told this to staff , they told me I was speculating !!! Really the person who dealt with ne was not helpful. I would not recommend anybody to stay in this premises during summer. It gets unbarebly hot and I am not exaggerating. Do not stay in summer unless they fit the place with air conditiıning.

The property is not as pictured! I had to get an entirely new hotel room due to my day and I not feeling safe. There was not empathy from the hotel. They informed me I should have researched the area better. Which is a horrible thing to say to a paying customer! It is located on the ghetto in he back of a restaurant in an alley!

Quiet yet perfect location :)

Room was beautiful and clean. Really good value for a London stay and right near where we needed to be. I will definitely use again.

Can hear doors in hallway a lot as people enter and exit room. No carafe in room to get water. Easy to get to, close to tube and river. Overall, good stay!

Basically this is a room with key-pad entry. Room was fine, but windows had no noise attenuation, passing vehicles and their radios could be clearly heard as if windows were open (they weren’t). Coffee maker in room but not so much as a clock or alarm. Location was great for us but otherwise would pick a regular hotel.
